NewMCUart reimagines Charlie Day asWolverine, a very different role to Paddy’s Pub co-owner Charlie Kelly inIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Charlie Day is best known for portraying Charlie Kelly, but has also achieved recognition for roles inPacificRim,Horrible BossesandThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, but he is yet to join the line-up of a superhero franchise. Charlie Day is the perfect candidate for a superhero role, and he has recently been the subject of an unorthodox but brilliant fan-cast suggesting he’d be great as theMCU’s new Wolverine.
Although known as the simple but dedicated co-owner and janitor of Paddy’s Pub, Charlie Day has recently been imagined in a very different role. Art shared by@ismokemegamannputs Charlie Day in the role of Wolverine, using a poster from 2009’sX-Men Origins: Wolverineas a reference. Although unexpected,this art proves that Charlie Day actually has the perfect appearance to portray a live-action Wolverine, even though Hugh Jackman recently reprised his iconic role forMarvel Studios’Deadpool & Wolverine.
What The Charlie Day Wolverine Art Means
Charlie Day is best known for his more comedic roles, particularly that in the aforementionedIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which he has starred in since 2005. Should Marvel Studios listen to this fan-cast and hire Charlie Day as theMCU’s official Wolverine, it’s likely the character will take on more humor than his previous live-action adaptations.Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine did crack jokes several times, and his dry humor and sarcastic wit provided several laughs, but Day assuming this role would take this to the extreme.
Deadpool & Wolverine Gives The MCU The Best Possible Answer To Recasting Hugh Jackman
Deadpool & Wolverine introduces to the MCU the perfect answer to who should replace Hugh Jackman as the new Wolverine, and I’m excited about it.
While a more comedic take on Wolverine could be controversial, this fan art proves that Charlie Day has the perfect appearance toplay Wolverine in live-action. The actor’s raggedy hair and facial hair already bears resemblance to Wolverine, while it wouldn’t be hard for Day to put on a little muscle in preparation for the role. Most notably,Charlie Day is 5'7" in height, which is far more similar to Wolverine’s 5'3" than Hugh Jackman’s looming 6'2". Charlie Day has dramatic experience as well as comedic, so he could bring some exciting layers to a more comic-accurate Wolverine.
Our Take On The Charlie Day Wolverine Art
Many actors have been fan-cast as Wolverine in the wake ofDeadpool & Wolverine, as Hugh Jackman is likely to actually be retiring from the role ahead of theMCU’sX-Menreboot.While the likes of Henry Cavill, Daniel Radcliffe and Taron Egerton have been exciting choices, Charlie Day ticks boxes that some of these actors don’t. He has proven his brilliant acting ability time and again, would bring a sense of humor to Wolverine, and could deliver aWolverineof more comic-accurate height, which would be fantastic to see in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men storylines.
Marvel’s X-Men
