One of the loudest rumors is that around a possible participation of Daniel Radcliffe au MCU. Since Hugh Jackman’s retirement in 2017 the role of Wolverine is free. Rumors surfaced back in 2019 that he could be taken over by the former interpreter of Harry Potter.

These rumors, which aren’t always associated with Radcliffe, have been popping up lately appeared again with the release of the trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessin which we see and hear Charles Xavier, the X-Men’s mentor. According to CBR, an actor has indeed been chosen to play Logan, but nothing lets us know who it is right now. In a recent interview with ComicBook, Daniel Radcliffe addressed these rumorswhich seem quite stubborn:

So many times people have come up to me and said, “Hey man, I heard about the new Wolverine info. That’s really cool.” I said, “Man… I don’t know.” Prove me wrong, Marvel!

The mystery is all the thicker as the actor TAron Egerton is one of the regularly cited names and that he denied any involvement in the MCU:

It’s like playing Bond… It would be exciting to play a role where you find yourself in front of such a large audience. These movies are the most watched movies in the world… It gives big chills and it’s a great role. But there is no truth in that. It’s very flattering though.
