Instead of trying to cast the next Hugh Jackman, look for a new Wolverine and maybe Tom Payne is it.
It is strange to think of Tom Payne as Wolverine, especially given his character on The Walking Dead is something of a pacifist, but he is an interesting candidate.
Unlike Batman or Spider-Man, who have changed actors multiple times, the big screen has only ever known one Wolverine and that’s Hugh Jackman.
The actor has proved he is capable of physical fight scenes on the AMC show and he has more than enough facial hair for the famously bristly character.
