Logan: After Hugh Jackman, Shah Rukh Khan is ‘working on’ playing Wolverine
Hugh Jackman thinks Shah Rukh Khan is a good choice for playing Wolverine. SRK sent his love to the Logan star and said he is working on getting some hair on his chest to play the mutant.
Just a few days back, Logan star Hugh Jackman announced he would like Shah Rukh Khan to continue with the character of Wolverine. It seems Jackman couldn’t have found a better choice for passing his X-Men legacy after proudly owning it for the past 17 years. We too agreed with the Hollywood actor as it would be interesting to see the King of Romance as a mutant Wolverine with retractable claws.
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.”

But what does King Khan has to say about it? Well, Shah Rukh first wants to work on getting hair on his chest and then play the iconic character in the X-Men series. Replying to a tweet from a fan which said why she wants Shah Rukh to play Wolverine, the Raees actor tweeted, “Hair on the chest lady…need hair on the chest!! Working on it, though. Love Hugh & Wolverine.” Witty as always!
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.

However, if anyone can spoil the party, it is Deadpool Ryan Reynolds. The actor sent cupcakes to Hugh Jackman in a bid to persuade him to return as Wolverine in a Deadpool movie. Reynolds is keen to persuade him to return to his clawed mutant alter ego one more time to appear in the
highly-anticipated second outing for wise-cracking anti-hero Wade Wilson, reported Female First.
Asked if his phone is “off the hook” because of calls from Reynolds, the Jackman replied, “Not only is it off the hook, cupcakes! I mean, come on dude, cupcakes?”
The Australian actor said the gift was a way of the Deadpool star suggesting he would not have to be as toned as usual in his film. However, it seems an appearance is close to impossible as Jackman is adamant that he will not be returning to the Marvel role in the future. “This is it, there was many days on set where I’m like, ‘Good choice!’ I feel like the athlete who has had a 17-year career and announces his retirement,” he said.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh will be next seen playing a dwarf in Anand L Rai’s film. Talking about his big project the Raanjhana director said, “When an actor like Shah Rukh is there, it is bound to do something with romance. I don’t want to reveal the story. For now, I am keeping it to myself only. Hopefully, I can bring a great story for the audience. Let me save the suspense for you.”
