Daniel Radcliffe replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in X-Men reboot? Actor sets record straight

Daniel Radcliffe has finally addressed the rumors that he's playing Wolverine in the X-Men reboot.

Speaking to ComicBook.com on Monday, the 36-year-old actor clarified that he is not replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the MCU's upcoming film.

"It was not. It was not ever real," Daniel told the outlet. "It was a very flattering internet rumor."

The Harry Potter star further said, "I was very happy about it, but it was never suggested in any kind of way by anybody with any power to make that happen."

"But it was never suggested in any kind of way by anybody with any power to make that happen," he continued. "And, honestly, you would be stupid not to consider something like that, but if they do other Wolverines, being the person who follows Hugh Jackman is not on my bucket list for anything."

Daniel added that if the script is good enough, he will definitely consider it.

“So, if a script came in that was exciting, different, weird and cool, then I’d be up for it no matter what it was,” said The Weird: The Al Yankovic Story actor.

It is pertinent to mention that the X-Men reboot is already in development.
