With
actor
Hugh
Jackman's
time
as
popular
"X-Men" character
Wolverine
nearing
its
end,
he
says
he
would
like
to
see
Tom
Hardy
step
into
his
shoes
post
X-Men:
Apocalypse.
"I
haven't
really
given
it
a
lot
of
thought,
I've
been
asked
that
question
a
lot,
and
I'm
always
like,
'I
don't
want
to
make
it
too
easy
on
the
studio
to
replace
me,'
you
know?
I've
still
got
one
more
to
do.
I'm
sure
they're
already
talking
about
it,
and
there's
some
actor
(they've
told)
'shh,
keep
it
quiet
but
we
want
you
next," Jackman
said.
Jackman
made
his
choice
after
a
bit
of
thought
on
who
could
play
a
younger,
re-imagined
Wolverine
reports
Variety.
"He's
younger
than
me
for
sure.
I
think
Tom
Hardy
would
be
a
great
Wolverine,"
he
added.
Hardy,
who
is
no
stranger
to
the
comic
book
genre
thanks
to
his
role
as
Bane
in
"
The
Dark
Knight
Rises"
and
an
upcoming
adaptation
of
"100
Bullets,"
seems
to
be
Hollywood's
choice
for
any
big
role
with
a
potential
vacancy
looming.
Jackman
will
star
in
an
upcoming
sequel
to
"The
Wolverine."
It's
not
known
whether
he
will
make
cameos
in
the
upcoming
"X-Men:
Apocalypse,"
or
impending
spinoffs
"Deadpool"
or
"Gambit."
