TheHarry Potterstars became famous at an early age all thanks to the movie adaptations of J.K. Rowling’sHarry Potterseries. For Potter Heads, Daniel Radcliffe will always be known asHarry Potteras it is tough to let the image go once you have seen him in that avatar. However, currently, he is not in the news forHarry Potterbut due to his link with a Marvel hero.
The 34-year-old English actor has always been on the radar of Marvel fans for playing the nextWolverine,of course after Hugh Jackman retires. Back in 2017, Hugh Jackman said he wouldn’t playWolverineanymore, but then he returned to play the character recently inDeadpool 3. Fans are still thinking why Marvel hasn’t gone for a new hero, of which theHarry Potterstar is a prime candidate.

But now the tables have turned. The 34-year-oldHarry Potterstar, Daniel Radcliffe recently showcased his drastic body transformation in the finale of the TV seriesMiracle Workers.
In the show, the 34-year-old English actor plays diverse types of characters in each season, and in the latest season, he has been playing a gruesome warrior named Sid. During one scene in the finale, he was seen tearing his clothes to reveal his lean yet muscular body and then moving ahead to ground some giant robots.

AfterDeadpool 3,Hugh Jackmanmight step down from Wolverine once and for all, though it is still not confirmed, but the rumor suggests that once he steps down It can be either theHarry Potterstar or Taron Egerton. However, considering Wolverine’s body and facial structure, the 34-year-old English actor seems more accurate according to the fans. The season finale ofMiracle Workersdid play a kind of audition for Wolverine for the 34-year-old actor.

What Daniel Radcliffe Had To Say AboutWolverineRumors
The rumors are so strong that the fire has also takenDaniel Radcliffeinto its grasp and he had to comment about it when he was interviewed withGQ.The 34-year-old revealed.
“It’s purely a press tour rumor; I say something, and then occasionally I get bored of answering that way so I say something different, and that sets it off again. I should just never open my mouth.”He further added,“I just don’t ever want to get locked into something that I am not sure I will be able to love the same amount the whole time.”
It might show that even if he is offered the role ofWolverine, he might not feel connected to it. However, they are all deceptive, and a character as big asWolverinecan’t be denied that easily, not by any actor. In an interview withComicBook.com,whenthe 34-year-old actor again got questioned about his take on the role ofWolverineand he said,
“So many times, people come to me like, ‘hey man, heard the Wolverine news, that’s pretty cool.’ No, I don’t know anything about it. Like, I appreciate that somebody is clearly going like ‘Wolverine’s actually short in the comic books, you should get like a short guy to do it!’ But I don’t see myself, I don’t see them going from Hugh Jackman to me. But who knows? Prove me wrong, Marvel.”
Though nothing is set in stone, things might start to look different now after the finale scene ofMiracle Workers. A Twitter account namedDaniel Richtmanreported that the 34-year-oldHarry Potterstar has been cast inDeadpool 3for a secret role. This is big news and if it is true, this might be a dream come true moment for many Marvel fans.
Deadpool 3is set to release in May 2024 as of now.
