Wolverine 5'3 works as a hot headed/ sometimes comic relief character but Wolverine 5'9-6'3 works as a lead story character. I also thought that Taron was smaller. I think he will make okay Wolverine but of course the actual movie needs to be good.. Wolverine works as Wolverine Character development happens when they experience different situations Not height changes, which never happened. At least pre 2000 that I'm aware of. Did he grow 6 inches to a foot post 2000s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantastic_four Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Making Wolverine tall defeats the purpose of his name--small, but vicious. Wolverines are about the size of a small dog. Honey badgers are even smaller and FAR more vicious, but naming a superhero Honey Badger probably doesn't carry the same gravitas. It's a fun half-hour or so to Youtube videos of honey badgers going after MUCH larger animals such as the pics below.

kimik Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 That would be awesome! FWIW, Marvel needs to do something at SDCC to draw attention away from the general perception of Phase 4 so far.............. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattn792 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 If we’re casting Breaking Saul alums, I’d vote Bryan Cranston for Professor X, and Esposito as Nathaniel Essex. MGsimba77, rexinnih and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantastic_four Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Cranston is 66 and Esposito is 64; between the two I'd enjoy Esposito more as Xavier. But I would think they'd cast someone in their thirties or forties who can fill the role for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my bigger concern with his age isn't his longevity...it would be with Magneto. I don't want to see a 60+ year old Magneto (since Professor X and Magneto are the the same/close age). ***I'm assuming they have to have Magneto in the MCU MGsimba77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fantastic_four Posted July 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2022 I'm still hoping Magneto is Fassbender who is still only 45. McAvoy could still be Xavier since he's only 43.

Unless the --script is going to get its glasnost on, its kind of tough to push a 30-40 something Magneto as a Holocaust survivor in 2022.

Unless the ---script is going to get its glasnost on, its kind of tough to push a 30-40 something Magneto as a Holocaust survivor in 2022. His Holocaust back story was ret-conned in much later anyway so it's no big deal to replace it with something else. Stan Lee originally hinted that he, Wanda, and Pietro were Romani (more popularly known at the time as gypsies). If memory serves the Holocaust background was introduced in X-Men #150 in 1981 by Chris Claremont on the page below. I suppose that's not mutually exclusive with him being Romani since the Nazis put lots of displaced people they didn't think fit the mold of their "master race" in concentration camps.

First Class and Days of Future Past were the best two X-Franchise movies. It is too bad that Fox jumped the shark with Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix instead of building on the momentum of the other two.
