Instead of Daniel Craig, we could have has Wolverine for Casino Royale's trilogy arc (which turned into 4 movies).

Maybe he'll be the new James Bond?

I like Jackman, but I like Craig better as Bond.

Psst, hey pal, they remade it in 2006… and that’s the movie we’re talking about.

I thought the remake was pretty good and much more true to the book.

He'd be like a stirred martini version of James Bond's. No thanks.

CTFD and get with the current day convo, yo.

OP article is going on 5 years old, and...I'm pretty sure he's taking the Wolverine reins back, at least one last time. With Deadpool.

i wished they were more in line with the height of wolverine.
ie: short like tom cruise or kevin hart size

in fact, i would like to see tom cruise at his natural height for once in movies instead of weird angles or positions where you can't tell his height.
ie: sitting next to a person

Maybe he'll be the new James Bond? Speaking of which, did you know that Jackman has been gambling on the casino site for a few years now?

I'd love to see Bond as Hugh Jackman.

Idris Elba gets my vote, but he publicly stated he feels too old
