As you may know, Hugh Jackman will be hanging up his Wolverine claws after his final (currently untitled) Wolverine film comes out in 2017. Some people have voiced opinions on who should take over the as the mutant with an adamantium skeleton, but if you’re anything like us, you don’t want to see ANYONE but Hugh Jackman in the role. C’mon, the man has played Wolverine for the last 15 years, being the only actor to appear in every single 20th Century Fox X-Men related film since 2000.
