Daniel Radcliffe is imagined as a new Wolverine in a fantastic fan-made X-Men poster. The actor quickly cemented himself as a household name through his long run playing the titular character in the Harry Potter series. After spending over a decade of his life on the franchise, Radcliffe went on to act in independent movies, though Wolverine casting rumors have been following Radcliffe since 2019. The actor made a joke that he just can’t seem to shake about how he could play a size-accurate version of Wolverine, and though he went on to debunk the rumor, fans haven’t let go of the idea.
While Hugh Jackman definitely won over the hearts of audiences during his run as Wolverine from 2000-2017, he faced some pushback. The actor’s casting made his movie character 6'3", whereas his comic book counterpart is much shorter, standing at 5'3". While Radcliffe is still taller at roughly 5'5", it’s in part because of his height that fans have clung to his casting so tightly.
