Harry Potter fans gather up! Daniel Radcliffe recently joked about replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the next X-Men movie and now every Harry Potter fan is going crazy.
During an interview, Daniel Radcliffe, who got the worldwide recognition after playing the titular role in all the eight Harry Potter movies, recently responded to a Google query asking whether or not the Harry Potter movie star would be the new Wolverine after Hugh Jackman decided to quit the role of X-Men's most famous mutant.
While appearing in one of WIRED's Autocomplete Interviews, Daniel Radcliffe jokes about starring as Logan or Wolverine in future X-Men movies. Daniel jokes that there will be a new X-Men movie in which The Greatest Showman movie star Hugh Jackman will go into a hot wash but when he will come out, the Wolverine character will be replaced by Daniel.
Soon after the star shared the video, fans started to imagine as to how future X-Men movies will turn out if Daniel Radcliffe will get to play the role of Wolverine.
Check out a few such interesting ideas shared by Harry Potter movie fans.
Just wanted to say, I'm in full support of Daniel Radcliffe actually playing Wolverine. Big thanks to James for this link and the shout-out to my casting choice on this week's TWP! https://t.co/7zynS2M0WW

Daniel Radcliffe joked about playing Wolverine in the MCU but the funny part is that's actually not that bad of an idea. He's the right height and he's shown he can get super buff for a role.

playing the character of Logan for almost seventeen years in several X-Men movies, Australian actor Hugh Jackman has officially said goodbye to the iconic character. However, there are several fans including Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds who wishes to see Hugh as Wolverine for at least one more time. But The Prestige movie star has already stated that he is done playing the role of a mutant.
Over the last couple of months, there are several rumours swirling around the casting of Wolverine for the future X-Men movies. There are rumours that Disney+ is apparently planning to have an X-Men TV series that may feature Wolverine. If this rumour turns out to be a fact, then it would be interesting to see which actor will get the opportunity to replace Hugh Jackman.

Meanwhile, the 29-year-old Daniel Radcliffe was last seen in an American action movie Beast of Burden in which he played the role of Sean Haggerty — a pilot who has to deliver cocaine across the Mexican border for his final run as a drug smuggler.
In 2019, fans of Harry Potter movies are going to see Daniel Radcliffe in a comedy movie, Guns Akimbo, which is written and directed by Jason Howden and will also feature Natasha Liu and Samara Weaving.
