Only 1 Other Actor Has Played Wolverine In Live-Action & He"s About To Become MCU Canon

:0:1

Summary

Only one other actor has played Wolverine, having portrayed a young Logan in a scene highlighting the character's mutant powers awakening.
Deadpool & Wolverine incorporates elements from Fox's X-Men franchise into the MCU, making the X-Men Origins: Wolverine scene canon.
The actor's loose involvement in the MCU signifies a win for the franchise, aligning him with Hugh Jackman as one of the few to play Wolverine.

Although Wolverine is synonymous with Hugh Jackman, there is another actor who has portrayed the iconic X-man in live-action, and he is about to become MCU canon in Deadpool & Wolverine. Deadpool & Wolverine will possibly be Jackman's final cinematic appearance as Wolverine. Based on trailer footage and assurances from Ryan Reynolds, this rendition of the character will be a variant whose history is separate from the Wolverine who died at the end of Logan, bringing a poignant end to a career that began with X-Men and spanned eight appearances across Fox’s X-Men franchise.
While Wolverine made his big screen debut in X-Men, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Wolverine's worst-rated cinematic appearance) depicted Logan’s beginnings and genesis as the iconic X-Men hero. This included one of the movie’s best scenes, a montage that depicted him and Victor Creed, both appearing much younger, engaging in several historical events and wars. The movie went even further, however, showing Logan as a child - for which the only other actor to play Wolverine was hired for the role.

However, in movie and television adaptations, it often varies considerably. Troye Sivan's Wolverine Movie Role Explained Close The young actor hired to portray Wolverine as a child was Troye Sivan, who would have been around 12 years old at the time. His opening scene was pretty important because it showed Wolverine’s mutant powers manifesting for the first time as a traumatic response to his father’s death. Given the X-gene tends to awaken around the time of puberty, it was important that an actor of a similar age was hired to convey the genesis of Wolverine’s claws, which, at the time, were not made out of the adamantium that would eventually cause his death in Logan.
This was one of Troye Sivan's earliest acting roles before he would go on to find superstardom as a musician, recently charting with the smash-hit “Rush.”
This was one of Troye Sivan's earliest acting roles before he would go on to find superstardom as a musician, recently charting with the smash-hit “Rush.” He has since gone on to act in movies and shows as recently as Trolls Band Together and The Idol, two music-based productions indicative of his focus on his career as a musician. While this reduces the likelihood that the musician will take on another role in the MCU, his time as Wolverine is about to be enshrined in MCU canon regardless.
Deadpool & Wolverine Is Set To Make Troye Sivan's Marvel Movie Role MCU Canon

Everything we know about Deadpool & Wolverine has recently been bolstered by the latest trailer in which several actors from Fox’s X-Men franchise look set to reprise their roles. Whether these are the exact same variants that populate that franchise is unclear, but their arrival indicates that Fox’s X-Men movies are at least going to be enshrined in the MCU as one of the many universes within the multiverse. This makes the events of that universe MCU canon, just a part of the alternate universe.
References to Wolverine's death in Logan, both within the story and behind the scenes, assert that his legacy and death will not be affected by these characters becoming a part of the MCU. That also means that the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine will still be a part of the canon, making Sivan's young James Howlett just as much a part of that canon. Just as Taylor Swift's rumored involvement in the upcoming movie has been stoking excitement, Sivan's de facto involvement in the MCU is another win for the franchise.
Taylor Swift recently stoked rumors that she will be portraying Dazzler in Deadpool & Wolverine by ending her newest album with the lyric, "Dazzling."
Troye Sivan Becoming MCU Canon Is Perfect

Troye Sivan is an immensely popular artist with a vast following within the LGBTQ+ community. While fancasts and theories abound over who should portray the iconic X-Men character in the MCU's future, Sivan's position alongside Jackman as one of the only actors to play him in live-action could be a particularly satisfying point of pride among his fans. Unfortunately, it won't do much to spread the popularity of the MCU to a new subset of fans in the same way that Swift's rumored appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine would unless Sivan joins the MCU in another role.
This is the kind of tidbit that might even warrant a fourth-wall-breaking comment from Deadpool in the movie, though a cameo from Sivan is less likely. He will now join several other X-Men actors in being enshrined in MCU canon with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine as the MCU gears up to cast its new roster of mutants, potentially in a post-Avengers: Secret Wars landscape. How the MCU's X-Men franchise will look is still unclear, though rumors suggest that it will comprise part of a soft reboot once the Multiverse Saga concludes.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine After Bryan Singer's X-Men trilogy, Hugh Jackman returns as the titular clawed mutant in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The 2009 superhero movie explores Logan's origins with a look back at Weapon X, the experiment that covered his skeleton with adamantium. It marks Ryan Reynolds' first appearance as Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool, and it precedes James Mangold's The Wolverine and Logan, which retroactively make Origins the first installment in a solo trilogy for Jackman's iconic Marvel hero.
