Who Should Play The X-Men In The MCU
2. Wolverine - Karl Urban
Unfortunately Karl urban has already appeared in the MCU. His performance as Skurge in Thor Ragnorok worked for what it needed to be, but it feels like a waste of an actor who could have been utilised in a much better capacity.
Despite his pre-existing role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Urban is still the perfect choice for Wolverine. He has proven himself consistently to be a great leading star in action, a notable example being his performance in Dredd.
In addition to this his portrayal of Billy Butcher in The Boys is almost an audition for the role of Logan. The character is charming but at the same time there is a true sense that you should fear what he is capable of.
He has the perfect look for Logan, especially with his excessive facial hair. The scornful faces he can give combined with his physique and dark hair make him incredibly well suited to play such an animalistic yet human character. He could also make great use of his native accent to establish a different vibe to what we have already seen.
This will be one of the most demanding jobs for whoever takes the role, but Urban is a good enough performer to equal the legacy of Hugh Jackman and establish his own take on the character.
