Best Character


I read debates regarding new casting for Wolverine. A lot of people want a shorter actor to match the character's namesake. Small, hairy, smelly creature with retractable claws known to take down opponents far larger.

Look at this thing jumping on a reindeer

Yet there are still arguments that a taller Logan is better for the character and films.

I think Wolverine is like 5'4 in the comics, along those lines. I don't think it's all that important personally for the actor to be short.

I'd be happy with Karl Urban, his name keeps coming up. He's over 6 foot though.

He is a great actor. Like with some people I always see particular characters or the actor themselves. With him I only see the character that he is playing.

I just picture wolverine as one of those little dude with barn door wide shoulders and all jacked. I don't care but also I do think wolverines should be the shortest of em the same way I think he should be jacked man.

Dude cruise is cruise his age isn't the issue. He's just the furthest thing from wolverine. Like just... he's shorter than me and I'm short but being short is the only thing he has going for him as wolverine.

Age wise dude can still pull miracles.cruuse would be so so bad as wolverine

A short, stocky but fit hairy man would be fantastic. He don't need to be the sex appeal for the masses, that's what Cyclops is for.

To be fair, Wolverine pulls. He probably should be a stud.

5'7" isn't average. I'm 5'9" and below average height here.

Maybe Americans are shorter.

I thought he was 5'9. My mistake. Still wouldn't call him short though.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


5'10" and a bit is average for Canadian males. Most of my friends and my dad are well over 6 feet though so anecdotally 5'9 definitely seems shorter than average to me. Most guys I know are a half foot taller than me.

When I say short I mean in a good way not like a damn hes short way.

Being short just means stuff is more comfortable and obviously its cooler if a smaller dude beats a bigger dude if they're gonna fight.

Short rang a bell and made more sense to me. I was surprised to see it was so one-sided and that I had the popular opinion just going off of my gut.

If I were a director, I'd accept X-Men on the condition that Wolverine be short and that the camera highlight the fact that he's six inches shorter than Cyclops.

This would be a polite way of telling the studio I had no desire to do an X-Men movie. Of course they're going to want mr. shortguy to be tall and handsome.

TBF I dont think Connery could have done the ending justice as good as he was and he also ran out of fucks to give about Bond by the time they did Thunderball.
