10 Actors Kevin Feige Could Choose To Play Wolverine In The MCU

8. Anson Mount

Anson Mount may be the oldest actor on this list, which could be a problem in casting him, but that doesn't mean he isn't a perfect fit for the character. He's already played a Mutant-like role in the MCU having helmed Marvel's The Inhumans as Black Bolt, which suggests he might be favored by some for the role.

The Inhumans failed to perform and was canceled after only eight episodes, but that was hardly the fault of Mount who absolutely nailed his role. He proved his ability to act without saying a word, which is no easy task as anyone in the industry will tell you.

Mount is currently playing Captain Christopher Pike on Star Trek: Discovery, which has helped to elevate his acting talents to a wider audience. His breakout role was in AMC's Hell on Wheels, and while he has acted in films, he spends most of his time on the small screen.

Mount is one of those actors who isn't as widely known as some on this list, but that may work in his favor. It's possible Disney would want someone fans weren't as familiar with when casting a new Wolverine, which may point them Mount's way, though his age may be a problem.
