Karl Urban As Wolverine Is Just Billy Butcher With Claws - But Maybe That's A Good Thing
thegamer.comThe MCU's fourth phase has already been a long one, and it's nowhere near done. That isn't a bad thing though. Between the 50+ hours of content and Disney+ shows, some of Marvel's lesser known heroes are getting the opportunity to have their immersive stories told. There's a lot more to come too, of course, and eventually, the X-Men will be introduced to the MCU.

Taran Egerton appears to be one of the frontrunners, especially after the actor confirmed he's had talks with Marvel Studios. Daniel Radcliffe is also a popular choice. Harry Potter as Wolverine. Somehow, wilder things have happened.

Urban's performance as Butcher in season three of The Boys may well have proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
