MCU: 5 Weird (But Plausible) Casting Choices For Wolverine

2. Joaquin Phoenix

Take a look at the image of Joaquin Phoenix above. If you saw literally anyone other than Wolverine or perhaps Doc Sportello, then perhaps get your eyes checked.

As you can see, appearance wise he's perfect, his acting skills need not be questioned and he's even under 6'0. Surely that makes him the perfect candidate?

While many may have never seen a Phoenix film before, his role as the Joker has given him some well deserved spotlight, but has also meant that most now know that his voice is on the higher end of the spectrum. This is probably why fans haven't considered him a viable option for Wolverine, but longtime fans will be quick to tell you that he can be gruff when called for.
