For over a decade now Hugh Jackman has played one of the most popular X-Men, Wolverine. It is the role that put his name on the map and made him a superstar. He is set to appear one final time as the hot headed, Logan in Wolverine 3 and after that he will hang it up.

According to Screenrant Jackman would like to see Tom Hardy play his beloved character. Jackman said, “He’s younger than me for sure, I think Tom Hardy would be a great…”
Jackman is currently 46 and by the time Hardy would appear on screen as Wolverine he would be 40. The age difference is a potential advantage because the X-Men franchise has dipped into time travel and a younger Wolverine would make sense. Also, other characters such as Cyclops, Jean Grey and Storm will be played by different actors so it would fit the patterns to have a new Wolverine.
Tom Hardy is no stranger to comic book movies and he portrayed the disturbed Bane in The Dark Knight Rises back in 2012.
Tom Hardy is certainly a possibility but UK odds makers have Hardy as a frontrunner to take over the James Bond franchise following Daniel Craig’s eventual departure, <ahref=http://variety.com/2015/film/news/wolverine-tom-hardy-hugh-jackman-1201601768///>Varietyt reports.
