My MCU Wolverine Movie Idea and Cast
Wolverine is one of the most popular X Man and Superheroes out there. Hell, Wizard magazine named Wolverine number one greatest Comic book character of all time. We've had nine X Men films with Wolverine in them and as you know Fox always makes him the main focus of the films and that is annoying even if they were just cameos. Hugh Jackman will always be Wolverine to me, we can all agree Logan was a great send off to hit him and when you think of Wolverine you of Jackman.
Hugh Jackman Is Wolverine.
Now with the whole Disney buying out Fox and now Comcast has stepped in and its still possible that Disney and Comcast might split Fox's Assets like hopefully, Disney can walk away with X Men and Fantastic Four. So if that should happen let's say Disney and Comcast agreed to split assets and Disney got X Men and Fantastic Four back. I'm just going to say it I am so sick of Fox's run on X Men like I hate the X Men films, except for Deadpool, First Class, Days of Future's Past, The Wolverine, Logan, and Deadpool 2. It's still same old crap we get they focus only two or three characters and waste a lot of great characters and they forget that the X Men is about a team that saves a world that hates and fears them. Which is why I'm hoping Disney and Marvel Studios get X Men back and Fantastic Four.
However, fans are mixed about the idea.
Spiderman is now Avenger and fans want Wolverine to be Avenger.
Now if MCU got Wolverine back what they do with him? Now there are fans who want him in the MCU so he can be an Avenger, Wear his comic costume we all want to see, Fans want to see him fight the hulk, and we want a proper origin story.
There are fans who are worried their going to loose the blood, nudity, and gore R Rated films.
There also fans who don't him in the MCU because that means no R rated Wolverine movies just hard PG13, Their worried Disney make him too family friendly, and They're worried Disney will make a musical.
I personally don't believe Disney will end the whole R rated thing, in fact, Bob Iger the CEO of Disney spoke out and said that Deadpool will stay rated R. So I believe Marvel Studios would do a great job with the character because Marvel Studios knows its characters better than Fox and Sony. It's also possibly maybe Marvel Studios and Disney build a new division that makes R rated superheroes because Kevin Fergie once said and I quote "Currently we don't work on R-Rated films, it's not out of question but currently, no." So from what we've seen Marvel Studios hasn't forbidden the idea of an R-rated film. Besides if anyone watches X Men animated series, X Men Evolution, and Wolverine and The X Men still made Wolverine good even though they tone most of the violence.
Now if MCU was going to make Wolverine I think it would be best to introduce in a solo film, not an X Men movie. Wolverine in Fox's X Men films has always been the main character which is good and bad like for example in the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy movies it is about a team where everyone gets their own moment to shine in the spotlight. If fans want to see more of Thor, Cap, or Spiderman they just get their own solo movie. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was the best thing about the films but they focus too much on him, but hey I rather have Wolverine than Mystique.
If Marvel Studios and Kevin Fergie were going to make X Men I'm pretty sure they make it focus on the original five and make it about a team for once. For Wolverine, I think best option to reintroduce the character in the MCU would be having a solo MCU Wolverine film.
Let's retell this origin story and get it right!
I would say adopt the origin story and no it would be the same crap like we got with X Men Origins Wolverine (Second Worst X Men film ever!!!) It should be more faithful to book with it being set only in the late 19th century. It would be like the Wonder Woman movie was being set during WW1 and hey Captain Marvel is doing too but being set in the 90s. So that would mean we wouldn't see him wear his costume till maybe the second one because the second film I would set in the 60s and he gets his costume from the Weapon X Program. He actually wears it and fights Sabertooth, Omega Red, and Lady Death-strike in it! The third film would be set in modern day and that film would have the X Men, The Avengers, SHIELD and most of all HULK. If they made a third MCU X Men film that would be the right time to have Wolverine in the X Men. Also, Avengers 5 or 6 would be good to make him an Avenger too.
Seriously, Fox would have killed you to have Hugh wear it just
for one scene.
Now for casting, I have four actors in mind who I think who could do a great job with the character as Hugh Jackman did, but let's face it no one will ever be as great Hugh Jackman was. Here are my top four actors who could be the next Wolverine and no Tom Hardy is not on the list.
1. Scott Eastwood. His dad was the inspiration for Wolverine and his son looks the part.
2. Taron Egerton. Him and Hugh Jackman did a film together and he said he's down to play to role, he turn down Cyclops because he wanted Wolverine.
3. Kit Harrington. Love him in Game of Thrones and he's hairy guy and he's short just hope he can do Canadain accent.
4. Liam Hemsworth. If he were cast he be the second Australian to play Wolverine and he would be pushing Marvel Studios to do a Thor and Wolverine movie, because his brother is Thor.
Now I can only choose one and that guy would have to be......SCOTT EASTWOOD!!!
I mean just look at him he's the right replacement for Hugh Jackman.
Like I also said his dad was the biggest inspiration for the character.
So hands down Scott Eastwood is my choice to play the MCU Wolverine.
Now I'm going to show you my cast for an MCU Wolverine Trilogy.
Here's my cast for a Wolverine MCU trilogy film starting first Origin. The Movie would be called Marvel Studios Wolverine Origin.
Scott Eastwood As James Howlett/Wolverine
Bonnie Wright as Rose O'Hara
Liam Mclntyre as Dog
Richard Armitage as Thomas Logan
Jack Davenport as John Howlett
Jennifer Carpenter as Elizabeth Hudson
Jon Voight as Mr Howlett
Steve Ogg as Smitty
Kevin Hefferman as Cookie
So thats my cast for the first film and also if they did make this film they have to have this scene in the film.
Wolverine running with wolves.
An epic scene with the song Raised By Wolves playing in the background.
Heres story ideas that I think a film like should follow.
Heres story ideas that I think a film like should follow.
1. Have the film set in the 19th century and modern day. By that I mean have a present-day Wolverine visit his old childhood home and we see his memories of his past life to childhood to his adult life. Similar to what Wonder Woman did and that worked good.
2. See Wolverine's childhood and then after show him as an adult working in a coal mine.
3. See him hunt with a pack of wolves and him surviving in the woods.
4. Now knowing Marvel Studios they'll want to make this PG-13 but if they do, make it a hard PG-13 like Dark Knight level.
5. This origin is sad and ends on a sad note, like give it a bittersweet ending more bitter though because Wolverine kills Rose and just exiles himself from society.
Now for the second movie, this my ideas for a Wolverine sequel that retells the Weapon X storyline.
Now in this film, we would have more Team X and Wolverine for the first time ever in an X Men Film would wear his costume. Not to mention, Sabertooth will be the villain in the film along with The Professor and Abraham Cornelius.
Team X rooster would be Wolverine, Sabertooth, Silverfox, Maverick, Omega Red, Lady Deathstrike, and Wraith.
Here my story ideas for this film
1. Set it in the 60s during vitenam war and civil rights movement.
2. Have Wolverine build a good relationship with Silverfox and that we are devasted for him for loosing someone he truly loved and accepted him.
3. Have more Team X don't waste them like Fox did X Men Origins Wolverine.
4. Make Sabertooth I really hateful villain like Kilmonger, Kingpin, and Thanos level. Also The Professor and Abraham Cornelius very hateful villains for the experiments they do on mutants.
5. Have SHIELD involved the film like Peggy Carter and Dum Dum Dugan team up with Wolverine to shut down Weapon X. Maverick and Wraith would also team up with Wolverine against Weapon X.
6. Have Wolverine still haunted by Rose's death.
7. Have Wolverine fight Sabertooth, Omega Red, and Lady Deathstrike in epic battle three against one.
8. Now of course this could work as a hard PG-13 rated film but I could see this more of an R Rated film but if you make hard PG-13 on the same scale with War of the Apes that works. Story and characters are more important than rating
So heres my cast for Marvel Studios Wolverine Weapon X. That's name of the sequel.
Scott Eastwood as Logan Howlett/ Wolverine
Travis Fimmel as Victor Creed/Sabertooth
Tanaya Beatty as Silverfox
Alexander Fehling as Christopher Nord/Maverick
Anton Pampushnyy as Omega Red
Andre Holland as John Wraith
Jackie Earl Hayley as the Professor
Graham McTavish as Abraham Cornelius
Neal McDonough as Dum Dum Dugan
That's my cast for a sequel to an MCU Wolverine Weapon X film.
The third film would be called Wolverine and The X Men or Wolverine VS Hulk.
Now for the third and final film, now this film will be set in modern day times. This film is set after Avengers 4 and by this time Thanos is defeated and the X Men are getting known by the world and by the Avengers and SHEILD. Wolverine would be asked by SHIELD and The Avengers to hunt down the Hulk. In this film Banner has lost control of the Hulk and he's going on a rage across Canada and Logan is asked to hunt down the Hulk and bring him back to the SHIELD. The villains would be the Wendigo except it's a hundred Wendigo more dangerous than Hulk.
The one thing all fans want to see happen on the big screen.
Now Wolverine and The X Men would have like almost every MCU character like The Avengers, The X Men, and some of SHIELD. Wolverine meets the X Men and by the end, he joins them and that's set up an X Men 3 and Wolverine volunteers to be a part-time member of the Avengers. So yeah there is team up superhero films with Wolverine on both. The X Men team he would meet would Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Beast, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Rogue. The Avengers that would be in the film would be Captain America (Bucky), Captain Marvel, Thor, Falcon, Spiderman, Wasp, and Black Panther.
Now here's my cast for the third film.
Scott Eastwood as Logan/Wolverine
Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk
Matt Smith as Charles Xavier
Charlie Rowe as Scott Summers/Cyclops
Elle Fanning as Jean Grey
Kylie Bunbury as Ororo Munroe/Storm
Josh Hutcherson as Hank McCoy/Beast
Danila Kozlovsky as Peter Rasputin/Colossus
Daisy Ridley as Rogue
Wolverine meets Xavier telepathy and Xavier explains why he wants him join the X Men which is due to the events of the second film. Xavier has read about how Wolverine stop the weapon x program and Xavier sees him as hero to mutants and wants give him a home and family. Wolverine of course has no desire to join but seeing the Wendigo curse is spreading he agrees to help the X Men and since he does want to recover his lost memories of his past life. Xavier promises to help re discover his lost memories.
Sebastian Stand as Bucky Barnes/Captain America
Brie Larson as Carol Daviens/Captain Marvel
Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spiderman
Anothny Mackie as Sam Wilson/The Falcon
Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne
What would be really cool is that first time the Avengers and X Men and it's pretty awesome and there's no fighting between them. The Avengers think Hulk is causing all of this destruction across Canada but it's not him it's actually the Wendigos and The X Men are involved because they want to recruit Wolverine. Not to mention, The Avengers are offering Wolverine a chance to join them. One thing that would be important to see is Wolverine acting as a leader and by the end of the film he joins the X Men and becomes a part-time member of the Avengers.
Beware the Curse of the Wendigo
