The Boys Star Wants to Become Marvel’s Next Wolverine


It might be difficult to imagine an actor other than Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine for the X-Men film franchise, but now that the X-Men: Days of Future Past star has completed his swan song in Logan, everyone's started wondering who might put on James Hawlett's adamantium claws.

Not only have fans been throwing around names online, but celebrities have also been volunteering themselves as Marvel's new Wolverine, and it looks like that includes The Boys star, Antony Star.

Speaking in an interview with Screen Geek, Star was asked which character he would want to play if he ever got the opportunity to become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor was quick to respond. He wanted to be Wolverine.

Star does admit though that filling in the shoes of Hugh Jackman would be a massive undertaking.

"Big shoes to fill, man. Jackman's pretty much put his mark on that, hasn't he? So, I never say never, man – but at the moment, I'm just enjoying what we're doing here," the actor told the entertainment news outlet, "I mean, to be honest, Wolverine doesn't wear spandex, which is definitely a negative for me. I do like the feel of tight pants, you know, if they can tighten the jeans up, maybe. We can get some kind of tight leather jeans going on – or maybe a pants suit. I could be tempted..."

Starr's response may come as a bit of a surprise to fans. It's a bit hard to imagine the actor as Logan when he plays Homelander in The Boys. Still, he does have a great jaw and a great physique, so he could probably pull it off if he'd like.

The Boys season 2 is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 4.
