am obsessive, and I want to … You’ve seen my parents, they’re, like, insane fitness people,” Radcliffe responded. “So that’s just been passed on. But no. No Wolverine. Flattered, but no.” Radcliffe previously denied the Wolverine rumors in a GQ profile in 2022, saying the speculation was “purely a press tour rumor.”

Despite ongoing speculation, Daniel Radcliffe has once again denied rumors that he will be playing Wolverine in an upcoming X-Men project. He attributes his buff physique to his own dedication to fitness and genetics passed down from his fitness-oriented parents.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Radcliffe explained that the rumors of him playing Wolverine were fueled by the fact that the character is short, leading people to speculate about short actors who could take on the role. However, he emphasized that there has never been any truth to the rumors and that he often makes jokes to deflect the questions.

While Radcliffe admits to getting bored of the constant rumors, he remains flattered by the comparisons to Hugh Jackman, who previously portrayed Wolverine. He expressed his admiration for Jackman and stated that he would not stop anyone from taking on the role if it were offered to them.

In September 2022, it was announced that Jackman would be reprising his role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, alongside Ryan Reynolds. This marks the actors’ first reunion since 2009’s Wolverine: Origins. Reynolds expressed his excitement about Jackman’s return, stating that adding him to the movie was an immediate and emphatic yes. However, he acknowledged the complexities of dealing with the various rights and permissions involved in making the crossover happen.

In conclusion, despite ongoing rumors and speculation, Daniel Radcliffe has once again denied that he will be playing Wolverine in an upcoming X-Men project. He attributes his buff physique to his own dedication to fitness and genetics passed down from his parents. While he may get bored of the constant questions, he remains flattered by the comparisons to Hugh Jackman and supports the idea of someone else taking on the role if offered. Meanwhile, fans can look forward to Jackman’s return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, set to hit theaters in May 2024.
