10 Insane Movie Rumours That Could Totally Happen
How many Spider-Men are set for the MCU's Spider-Man 3?
Rumours.
When you think of rumours what comes to mind? Perhaps Fleetwood Mac's most iconic album. Perhaps the one that went around your secondary school about Marilyn Manson removing his ribs in order to be able to have the self-cleaning abilities of a cat. Or perhaps you stay away from rumours and gossip because of the fear of being let down if they fall apart like a pack of cards built on jelly.
Whatever comes to mind, and whether you believe them or not, rumours intrigue us. They give us hope, they ask "what if?" and give us an insight into a world where the unlikely becomes possible.
In the movie world, new rumours seem to pop up as regularly as the sun rises. A day doesn't go by without a media outlet claiming that the next Bond will be female or that Disney are planning a new Jar Jar Bins spin off series. OK that last one was made up, but you see the point I'm trying to make.
Therefore, amongst all the false rumours and gossip, my friends, this list will provide you with the rumours that haven't been washed away with the next news cycle and have compelling evidence in their favour.
Read on and breathe in the potential "what ifs" from the world of cinema.
10. Luke Hemsworth: The New Wolverine?
Hugh Jackman played Wolverine for almost 20 years and it would be hard to imagine anyone else ever donning the adamantium claws.
In 2000, Jackman first burst onto the scene as Wolverine in Bryan Singer's X-Men and the Aussie went on to play him in a total of nine films. After shooting his final Wolverine performance in Logan (2017), Jackman handed in his half smoked cigar, waxed off his chest hair and said enough was enough. Despite relentless pleas from Ryan Reynolds to carry on, Jackman has stayed resolute in his decision.
With Jackman officially stepping down from the role, the leading name to replace him is none other than fellow Australian and everyone's third favourite Hemsworth, Luke Hemsworth.
The Westworld star has said he would do everything he could to be the next Wolverine and join brother Chris in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Luke is a self confessed Wolverine super fan and, as a kid, learned to draw by copying drawings of Logan from his X-Men comics.
If the rumours are true, Luke will have the hard task of not only winning over X-Men fans, but Wolverine fanboy and not-so-secret admirer - Ryan Reynolds too.
