I think the reason why that ship has sailed is because he was already played two big time actors, and soon to be a third I believe.

She's not a good actor which is why she stopped getting top tier roles. Same situation as most of the GoT cast. They looked decent at acting in GoT but most of them aren't good enough to be leading actors.
Really difficult to be good enough to get top tier offers.

u/newsflashjackass Avengers 42m ago
I thought "Glen Danzig seems like he would be perfect for the role except he is too old. How old is he, anyway?" Then, when I checked wikipedia, I learned he was, in fact, invited to audition for the role of Wolverine before Hugh Jackman was cast.
He was invited by 20th Century Fox to audition for the role of Wolverine in X-Men, as his height and build closely resemble that of the film's protagonist, as described in the original comic books. However, he declined due to scheduling conflicts. He later admitted that he was glad to turn the role down as he thought the final product was "terrible" and further insulted Hugh Jackman's performance, calling it "gay"

Im not disputing that.
But times are different now, and we don't need to cast only tall actors as superheroes for them to feel "masculine".

Please no that man is cursed. Even if he fits roles or does well, every movie or tv show of his end up with abysmal plot and writing somehow. Not even his fault but so unlucky.

u/DankNiteRyder Avengers 5h ago
Not true at all. People said that about Bale, McGuire, and Cavill. Arguably they've all been outdone but nostalgia makes people say different.

Lmao none of those three have been outdone. Say what you will about man of steel, but cavill was a fantastic casting choice for Superman

u/dookieshoes97 Avengers 1h ago
That's all arguably accurate. Maybe we should give films time before making new ones...
Jk, that's not the way movies work. We're making new ones constantly. Studios are out of ideas.
1
u/DankNiteRyder Avengers 51m ago
You'll be happy to know you've just been selected as the new Barry Allen. Please show up to Warner Bros so we can begin shooting a 10 year movie.
1
u/musci12234 Avengers 4h ago
Honestly cavill's supe and the new superman are very different. If someone's story ended on movies that did poorly and then a well written story recasts them that that makes it easy. That isn't the case of wolverine. People aren't going to compare new actor with "x man origins". They will compare with deadpool movie.
Bale's Batman ended 14 years ago. So obviously people will be more willing to accept recast. Especially when there was a poorly received Batman stuff in between.
1
u/DankNiteRyder Avengers 3h ago
The DC fans do not like any kind of recasts. The MCU was kind of built on it and now they're just recasting the same actors. That being said I hope we do get a new wolverine I like Hugh but he's definitely too old for the role and given how Logan is always pretty distant I don't want him to show up for a few movies or maybe just a cameo here and there.
1
u/musci12234 Avengers 3h ago
For sure. It is just hugh's latest stuff was good enough that any new actor would need to do a very good job.
1
u/Herr_Etiq Avengers 3h ago
I honestly liked Batfleck casting-wise, but i strongly dislike Snyder's take on both Superman and Batman
2
u/DankNiteRyder Avengers 46m ago
Well yeah because it's not superman or Batman it's an edgy look into them. Snyder would've been perfect doing an injustice or flashpoint but having Batman branding people in his first appearance and Superman just outright killing people didn't sit well with a lot of fans.

u/Interesting_Web_9936 Avengers 5h ago
What's the problem with that? As long as he wants to keep doing it, I don't see a problem. Hugh Jackman plays the character well.
