The actor playing a 52-year-old McMahon needs to have a dapper appearance but also be capable of more calculated viciousness, as evidenced by the Machiavellian nature of McMahon's underhanded plot.

Who better than Hugh Jackman? We've seen numerous times that the X-Men star can fill out a suit nicely, and his recent role in The Greatest Showman demonstrated his ability to play an enterprising businessman with dubious ethics (even though the film itself downplayed this fact).

Plus, the role won't require Jackman to get back into Wolverine shape, which he'll most likely be eternally grateful for.
