VENOM<\/strong> star Tom Hardy<\/strong> recently appeared on German TV show Stars with Cars<\/a><\/strong> and was asked bluntly why he isn’t playing Wolverine, the iconic role first brought to life in live-action by Hugh Jackman for over 17 years.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t get asked to play Wolverine,” he said. “If somebody asked me to play Wolverine, I might be playing Wolverine; but they didn’t. They did ask me to play Venom and I read the script and I thought, this is awesome.”<\/p>\n

With Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox looming early next year, chances are very good we’ll see a new Wolverine on screen within the next decade.<\/p>\n

Even though Hardy’s currently tied to Venom<\/em>, would you be interested in him taking on the role in the future?<\/p>\n

Thanks to @Keda_92<\/a> for the heads up!<\/em><\/p>\n
