“The Bear” star could become the new Wolverine — Marvel is eyeing a replacement for Hugh Jackman

Marvel has not yet introduced the new actor for the role of Logan.

According to insider Jeff Sneider, American actor Jeremy Allen White, known for the TV series “The Bear” and “Shameless”, met with Marvel Studios representatives to discuss participating in the “X-Men” reboot.

According to Sneider, it is a minor role that could become significantly more prominent in subsequent films. Against this backdrop, speculation has emerged that White is being considered for the role of the new Wolverine. Insiders had previously described Logan’s possible appearance in the new “X-Men” in a similar manner. The rumor quickly spread across the media and social networks, although there is currently no confirmation that the actor is being offered this specific role.

The “X-Men” reboot will be directed by Jake Schreier, director of “Thunderbolts*”. Filming is expected to take place in the UK in early 2027, with the premiere scheduled for May 5, 2028. It was also previously reported that “Karate Kid: Legends” star Ben Wang is in talks for the role of Iceman.
