Summary

Daniel Radcliffe denies rumors of being cast as Wolverine in the MCU, clarifying that his recent physical transformation was not related to the role.
The question of whether Marvel Studios will recast Wolverine for their X-Men reboot remains unanswered.
Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 raises speculation about his potential involvement in the Avengers-based universe, but recasting is also a possibility.

With rumors floating around that Daniel Radcliffe is up for the role of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Wolverine because of his physical transformation, the Harry Potter star breaks his silence. The X-Men are getting closer to finally becoming part of the MCU as Marvel Studios is looking to reboot the franchise after getting back the rights to the mutants. With a new era coming up for the mutants, there are numerous characters who will be cast, and one of them is Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman in the original X-Men movies.
Since Radcliffe is still a popular fan cast for Wolverine, speculation was fueled due to his recent physical transformation, with the world suspecting that perhaps Marvel Studios is eying him to play Logan as part of the MCU's new X-Men movie. However, Radcliffe shut down those rumors when asked during a recent lie detector test for Vanity Fair if he was the one who initially started the Wolverine rumor. When he said no, Radcliffe was hilariously asked if he got buff for no reason, and he shared the following:

No. Yes! [laughs when asked if he got buff for no reason] I got buff because I am obsessive, and I want to...you've seen my parents, they're like insane fitness people. So that's just been passed on...but no, no Wolverine. Flattered, but no.
