Radcliffe plays the character Sid in the TBS series, a road warrior living in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world. In this realm, it seems there must be a hidden gym because Sid appears incredibly muscular and jacked, boasting an impressive physique with bulging muscles.
This stunning transformation has ignited discussions among fans about which superhero role Radcliffe could potentially take on, with one name dominating the conversation: Wolverine. On social media platforms like Twitter, fans have been vocal about their belief that Radcliffe could make a fantastic Wolverine.
One Twitter user enthusiastically expressed their support for the idea: “Daniel Radcliffe should definitely get a screen test for Wolverine. I really believe he could do it and give an AMAZING performance that would thrill and satisfy comic fans, new and old.”
Another fan chimed in, exclaiming, “HOLY S***!!! Anyone seen Daniel Radcliffe lately?! I’m sold that dude is the new Wolverine lol.”
A third fan playfully suggested that Radcliffe’s latest role on Miracle Workers could have been an audition for the iconic Marvel character: “Another incredible season of @miracletbs! I feel like that last episode was Daniel Radcliffe’s audition for Wolverine lol.”
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Radcliffe’s name has been linked to the role of Wolverine. Hugh Jackman famously portrayed the character for many years, ultimately retiring the adamantium claws with the 2017 film Logan. However, Jackman has agreed to return for one final appearance in Deadpool 3.
Before Jackman’s return was confirmed, there was widespread speculation about Radcliffe taking over the role. When asked about the possibility, Radcliffe responded, “So many times, people come to me like, ‘Hey man, heard about the Wolverine news, that’s pretty cool.’ No, I don’t know anything about it.”
He went on to acknowledge the physical difference between himself and Hugh Jackman, stating, “I appreciate that somebody is clearly going like ‘Wolverine’s actually short in the comic books, you should get like a short guy to do it!’ I don’t see them going from Hugh Jackman to me.”
In the comic books, Wolverine is described as being 5’3″, while Radcliffe’s height is 5’4″. This closeness in stature has fueled speculation among fans that he could indeed be a suitable candidate to take up the mantle of the iconic Wolverine character.
As the debate continues, Radcliffe’s impressive physical transformation and the enthusiasm of fans have added fuel to the speculation about his potential future as a superhero, specifically as Wolverine. Whether or not this becomes a reality remains to be seen, but it’s clear that many fans would be excited to see Radcliffe don the adamantium claws and become a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
