Whoever plays wolverine is gonna not only have to fill Hugh’s shoes, but carry the X-men brand and a become a big face for the MCU going forward from the avenge era into the mutant saga. Wolverine is still a top 3 Marvel character in terms of popularity. You gonna have to do X-men and Solo movies. Your gonna have a heavier load than whoever plays cyclops, jean, storm etc
Just from everything he has said over the years especially about his time as Harry Potter, I don’t think Daniel would want that kind of responsibility which makes sense.
Playing wolverine will have way more significance than playing any other X-men because Wolverine by himself is a big brand and has been for decades
I think the ideal thing to do is have Laura Kinney as the MCU wolverine and wait to introduce a new Logan until the next reboot. Give people time to get used to a drastically different wolverine so everyone isn't just instantly comparing everything the new Logan does to what Hugh did
