Logan: After Hugh Jackman, Shah Rukh Khan Is ‘Working On' Playing Wolverine

  • Logan: After Hugh Jackman, Shah Rukh Khan Is ‘Working On' Playing Wolverine
During the promotions for Nolan, Jackman was asked who he wants to continue the series of Wolverine after him. Jackman said, “I think I will be fine with it. I hope other people play it. Maybe Shah Rukh Khan can play it.”
 
Jackman has essayed the role of the superhero mutant with a heart of gold in "The Wolverine" film saga, which started 17 years ago. The actor has appeared as Wolverine in nine of the "X-Men" sagas.
 
He has reprised his role as The Wolverine for one final time in "Logan". During the film promotion activity in Taiwan, Jackman had said that "maybe Shah Rukh Khan" can play him. 
 
Reacting to a post by a fan on Twitter which said why she wants Shah Rukh to play Wolverine, SRK posted: "Hair on the chest lady… Need hair on the chest!! Working on it though. Love Hugh and Wolverine."
 
"Logan" opened in theatres worldwide, including in India on March 3, and has been distributed by 20th century Fox.
 
Jackman’s swansong as Wolverine, Logan, is being applauded. The film is the third stand-alone Wolverine movie in the comic superhero franchise, which has had various sequels and new casts since Jackman first played Wolverine/Logan in X-Men, alongside Patrick Stewart’s wheelchair-bound Professor Xavier.
 
Logan is a gritty, dark, and a deeply satisfying conclusion for fans who’ve followed the clawed character through Jackman’s past eight movie outings with the X-Men and alone as Wolverine.
