We’d previously reported that X-Men comic writer Chris Claremont had a specific choice for Wolverine, and his was a rather unconventional, but still badassed choice.
He thought that esteemed actor /hard case Bob Hoskins could have been a great Wolvie for the silver screen.
Since Claremont wrote the X-Men during the period of 1975 and 1991, we’re going to assume that his vision of Hoskins as Wolverine was more inspired by The Long Good Friday and less Super Mario Bros. Which would have been totally sweet, considering his reputation stemming from that film.
