A fan created a deepfake video of Karl Urban as Wolverine and it’s everything we didn’t know we needed. We show it to you in this note!
Although no one wants Hugh Jackman stop interpreting wolverines, there are already many rumors about who could become his replacement now that X Men enter the MCU. One of the names that will probably be added to the list is that of Karl Urban, billy butcher in TheBoys. And the reason is quite simple: a video deepfake of the actor as Wolverines.
a fan of TheBoys and of X Men made a video deepfake where he replaced the face of jackman for that of Urban and let’s say the British could easily replace the Australian. As the actors are quite alike, the result is impressive and it even seems that Urban is actually the one who played Wolverines.
After the premiere of TheBoysand that jackman officially retired as Wolverines, Urban he was on many fans’ lists to replace the Australian. His casting by fans of his is something I Urban is aware and in a recent interview he explained that he is very grateful to be seen as the character, but that it would be impossible to interpret Wolverines because of his age. “I’m what, two years younger than Hugh Jackman?”the actor began to explain. “I mean, if it was a studio looking for someone to play Wolverines, I would choose someone who can do at least three movies. You’re not going to get three movies of Karl Urban What Wolverines unless you want a 65-year-old version of the character.”
Urban is not the only name of TheBoys who is in the minds of fans to be the possible replacement for jackman. HomelanderAntony Starr, is another of the candidates that the fans have. There are many drawings that fans made of Starr What Wolverines and one of them was even commented on by the actor. In the drawing, he looked like the character and Starr He commented that his bones ached just thinking about how long it took to exercise to get those muscles.
Another candidate for the role is henry cavillwho recently transformed into a version of Wolverines a little weird. The fans of the actor put the phrase henry cavill What Superman in DALL-E and let’s just say the images that came out were interesting. As the Artificial intelligence it does not put the faces of the people, there is a strange mix between the character and the actor but understandable.
But the debate over who should replace jackman It got to the point that several people from the world of Hollywood They came out to give their opinion. An example is the writers of Dead Pool 3, Rhett Reese Y Paul Wernick. Since they are officially inside the MCU, your opinion carries some weight. But what they basically said was that if they had to choose who would replace jackmanthey would choose someone much shorter, a comment that shows us that they spend a lot of time with Ryan Reynoldsbest friend of jackman.
To find out who will replace the Australian as Wolverines We probably have a few years to go. For now, we only know that X Men adds to MCUbut it was not specified if all the movies we already saw are canon within Marvel. And in case you are looking for a replacement for jackmanwe could consider that Marvel wants to restart the franchise completely. We can only wait to see that he decides to do the company under the command of Kevin Feige, who almost never disappoints.
