10 Former X-Men Actors Perfect For The DCEU

1. Hugh Jackman

X-Men Origins Wolverine Sabretooth
20th Century Fox

No one benefited more from Fox's X-Men franchise than Hugh Jackman. After one film, he became a household name, and perhaps more importantly, became synonymous with Wolverine. Jackman is Wolverine, and will be for many fans regardless of a recast.

While most fans would love to see him take on a new role in the MCU, seeing him in any other Marvel film will be a huge distraction. However, DC can create a lot of buzz and make bank off of a Jackman casting.

Would Jackman ever sign on for another potentially decades-long role? Probably not, but that's not to say that he wouldn't be interested in playing a villain for a film or two. Giving him the opportunity to play a character completely opposite of Wolverine would be refreshing for him and show fans another side to his talent.

Plus, DC would make a boatload of money off of the announcement itself.

Imagine finding a way for Jackman to cross paths with The Rock’s Black Adam. Who wouldn't pay to see those two share the screen?
