Antony Starr's performance as Homelander is the best in years

[O.T.I.S.]

So I should watch it

Idk... Hugh Jackson bodied the Wolverine role... for damn near 20 years too

It would have to be someone a lil but younger imo and someone that could make you forget about Hugh on the big screen.

Dude has strictly been in TV shows... maybe when he was young in Banshee I could see the switch but Wolverine role is probably too iconic for him

Hugh was the only Wolverine we knew, he did his thing for sure, he's iconic in that role.

But for the MCU version, they gotta be more comic book accurate.

I keep seeing people throw around Milo Gibson (Mel Gibson's son) and it makes sense, at least looks wise he's short and brolic af though I haven't seen him in too much to be impressed by him.

Now Tom Pelphrey may not have the build...but he's short enough, could put on some muscle and has already worked with Marvel (Iron Fist). I was really impressed by him on Season 3 of Ozark. First scene I saw in made me think about Wolverine going berzerk.

Yeah, idc who it is, they just better be ready to be a household name.

Wolverine is iconic... most famous X-Men

Homelander might be too old to be a child hero

 

[Peter Popoff]

Ehhhhhhh....no doubt he could do it, I just think I have a better casting. I'd have to see him in something else where he isn't so detached to give him the nod.

I can see him playing Adam Warlock in GotG 3.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

Me any my wife were watching S2E4 and she was legit nervous everytime he came on the screen- he really is killing this role- he is way more evil in S2

Contender for GOAT scumbag.

I 100% agree all the way. MCU is way more comic book accurate than FAUX. Hugh was his own wolverine but those choices you said would body the respective role of a comic book wolverine.

[richaveli83]

He definitely needs an Emmy and/or Golden Globe for his role. Dude is killing it in this role.

 

[hex]

So I should watch this show?

Fred.

 

[NYSTATEOFMIND]

I mentioned this is the MCU thread-- Milo IS Wolverine- all he has has to do is bulk up a little bit

 

[⠀⠀⠀]

He needed awards for banshee too. I really miss that show.

 

[richaveli83]

Just looked him up on Wikipedia and dude is 44 years old! Thought he was in his mid 30s.

 

[Conz]

a juiced up Emile Hirsch would be a terrible Wolverine right? dude is an underrated actor, imo.

 

[StraxStrax]

Only seen season 1. Dude was good but he wouldn't even crack the top 10 performances on a show like Justified.
Does he step it up in season 2?
