Away from the franchises, Daniel Radcliffe denies the possibility of embodying an iconic superhero

Between 2001 and 2011, Daniel Radcliffe composed the popular Harry Potter in eight feature films. The saga of the wizard boy catapulted the actor to fame and kick-started a prolific career in Hollywood. However, in several interviews Radcliffe spoke about the exhaustion that being the star of that extensive saga caused him and, in a recent note, he referred to the subject again, and closed the door to the possibility of embarking on a similar decision.

In a note with GQ Magazinethe interpreter referred to a rumor that circulates in the world of fans, which imagines him characterized as one of the greatest icons of comics Marvel. In these images illustrated by fans, Radcliffe appears incarnating Wolverine, the popular X-Men mutant, who at the moment was only played on film by Hugh Jackman. And considering that similar situations culminated in those actors finally embodying those characters (as happened with John Krasinski characterized as Reed Richards), the idea of ​​Radcliffe as the mutant is an expression of desire for a large group of readers. But, the actor was very distant from the possibility of accepting that role if it was officially proposed.

Throughout that interview, Radcliffe assured that any version that indicates him as the new Wolverine is nothing more than a rumor, and detailed: “It turns out that I say something, and if I get tired of repeating the same thing and then I express it in a slightly different way, the rumors start to circulate once more. So I shouldn’t just open my mouth.”

Later, and about the possibility of playing a hero that could require him to star in a saga of several films, the actor concluded: “I don’t want to be trapped in something that I’m not sure I’ll be able to love in the same way for the whole time. time”. In this way, Radcliffe distanced himself from Marvel, from Wolverine, and from any other saga that could require several years composing the same character.

But just because the ex-Harry Potter refuses to be Wolverine doesn’t mean that hero is leaving the screen. a few weeks ago, Ryan Reynolds announced the start of filming Dead Pool 3. Through two videos on his social networks, the actor confirmed that the new installment is already underway, but with a peculiarity: Hugh Jackman will be a part and will once again put himself in the shoes of Wolverine. They say that the husband of Blake Lively had to insisting a lot so that the Australian puts on the sharp blades again, however, he has succeeded. And to share it with all the fans of the saga, the actor came up with a very original way. In the first video, Ryan is sitting in the living room of a house while he tells his followers what his expectations are for this third installment of dead pool although judging by what he says he would not be coming up with anything original.

Although the Australian played Logan in all the films of the mutant franchise, it seemed that he was no longer going to return to the screen. For this reason, the emotion of all the fans upon hearing the news. While most warned that they could not wait to see it, others resorted to humor and in a fun play on words they realized how “great” this return was going to be (“Hughe news” (“great news”) wrote a user to while another launched: “This is going to be Hugh!” instagrammer happy about the news.
