MCU X-Men: 10 Actors Who Could Play Wolverine

10. Andrew Lincoln

Coming in at number ten would be Andrew Lincoln. Largely known for his portrayal of small-town sheriff-turned-zombie-killing badass Rick Grimes in AMC’s The Walking Dead, Andrew Lincoln would be a great catch for a new take on Wolverine.

The Brit's acting speaks for itself, and his iteration of Rick has a sense of feral, animalistic rage and often sports a grizzled appearance.

On paper, Lincoln ticks all the boxes, however, the actor’s Walking Dead commitments could rule him out of the running from the get-go. With the once-mainstay of the series set to lead a new six-part show focused on his Walking Dead character, the schedule of filming may not work out for when Marvel would be looking to integrate the character within the MCU.

Although the show has been incredibly beneficial and rewarding to the 48-year-old and his career, the shooting schedule is rigorous and often demanding, meaning Lincoln would be fully invested in his Walking Dead commitments.

Said obligations could hinder his chances, but fans would undoubtedly champion this Love Actually favourite joining the MCU in some regard, with a possible Reed Richard’s role beckoning for him too.
