12 Actors Who Should Play Wolverine Next

8. Rory McCann

As soon as The Hound is killed in Game Of Thrones (of course it's going to happen, he's a character in Westeros), it's likely Rory McCann will be inundated with offers to play intelligent hardmen, competing with the likes of Ray Stevenson for similar roles, or lumped with imposing supporting roles in genre films. He deserves better, and there's a lot of Wolverine in The Hound's make-up.

His relationship with Arya while it lasted was as uneasy and as perversely patriarchal as Wolverine's relationship with Rogue, and his predilection to violence, despite being surprisingly eloquent given the opportunity could easily have been modelled on Logan.

McCann would be a completely different prospect to the majority of the others on this list, chiefly because of his massive size, but he's basically already proved that he can play the character, so he's got to be worth an outside consideration.
