One thing we know about big budget movies is they go for star quality. They are not going to cast a 5'3-5'5 leading man, sucks but it is what it is.

My vote was always for Tom Hardy, he has the gruff, the look, the intensity, and the notoriety to make people accept him as a Jackman replacement, but then he went and took on that nutass Venom movie.

I was gon say tom Hardy. 5'9 though

I wasn't aware dude had an acting son, but Milo Gibson is a good look. He has the build and gruff, and he's Gibson's son, I'm sure he can bring the intensity.

Based on stats alone, Milo Gibson. Not a pretty boy, but not ugly. Not a midget but not tall (5'8"). Stocky and would be a brick once he got on them MCU supplements.

Only problem is his dad is Mel Gibson so there's a decent chance he's
:mjpls:

Everyone else is too clean cut or haven't demonstrated the ability to bring aggression that Wolverine needs and Jackman brought.

I rewatched Bronson and he was intimidating in there. Def has that factor going for him

Wolverine being short is a significant part of the way his character works and interacts with the world. 5'3" isn't necessary, but being shorter than most of the other guys they cast in the MCU should be a requirement.
