Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige confirms that Hugh Jackman will eventually be replaced as Wolverine.
Feige said that there are no immediate plans to replace Jackman, but a new actor will take over the role in the future:
“You know, Marvel is celebrating its 85th anniversary later this summer. That’s just the first 85 years, and Disney just celebrated 100 years as well. I think these characters will be around for another 100 years, long after all of us. So, for sure, there will be [eventually another actor as Wolverine]. I think it will be in a very different style and in a different way. I also think if somebody were to attempt to do a Hugh Jackman as Wolverine impression, that would be a pretty big mistake.”
He thinks the new Wolverine shouldn’t be an imitation of Jackman’s version.
