Dacre Montgomery, who is most known for his role as Billy Hargrove in the Netflix phenomenon “Stranger Things,” was previously a contender to portray Wolverine in the MCU. Due to Billy Hargrove’s portrayal in the series as the school bully, the Australian actor went on to become the audience’s favourite character. Dacre considered his thoughts on playing Wolverine in the MCU after receiving so much acclaim.
Many people are still perplexed over who will portray Wolverine following the unnamed “Deadpool 3” film, despite Hugh Jackman’s comeback as the character in the MCU. Dacre Montgomery claims that he will not be portraying Wolverine since so many other actors are expected to be the front-runners. Continue reading to find out his thoughts on it.
Dacre Montgomery says he wouldn’t play Wolverine because he wouldn’t want to carry out a “injustice” in the interview with The Daily Telegraph. He says, “I feel like it is a wonderful opportunity to construct my own tale, to craft my own route and career as a beginner in the Australian acting field, and Hugh has been a really amazing champion of mine. To try to enter that place would almost be disrespectful to the entire circumstance.
Hugh Jackman, according to Dacre Montgomery, has been a great friend and influence. The actor who played the original Wolverine also gave the Stranger Things star advice when he was just starting out in Hollywood, which, according to Dacre Montgomery, was more significant to him than getting a big-name franchise job. Hugh has grown to be both Dacre’s mentor and a close friend.
Dacre Montgomery gave an unusual response when asked why he does not want to play Wolverine: “This is an odd period for me, I am not really interested in doing a superhero picture, it doesn’t really interest me at this stage. “I still love to go to the theatre and watch something like X Men,” the Stranger Things star continued.
Who do you believe would be the ideal choice to eventually don Wolverine’s metal claws now that Dacre Montgomery isn’t in the running?
