Who should play the new Wolverine as Hugh Jackman says goodbye to the character?

After throwing himself into the role one last time in Logan, Hugh Jackman is almost certainly done playing Wolverine. In a recent interview with the New York Times, the actor acknowledged that “the character will go on” beyond him, saying, “Someone else will play it, for sure.” Jackman is aware that the franchise filmmaking machine will always be bigger than any single actor, and he claimed he’s fine with someone else taking on the role — “unless Daniel Day-Lewis plays him and wins the Oscar — then I might have a little problem.”

So with Logan coming into theaters soon, it’s time to start thinking about who might don the adamantium claws next. We’ve put together a few choices of our own, and we’d love to hear if you agree or if you have your own suggestion in the comments below.
