While doing press for his upcoming film Pan, in which he plays the pirate Blackbeard, Jackman was asked who he would want to take up Wolverine's claws following his departure.

"I think Tom Hardy would make a great [Wolverine]."

Tom Hardy already has experience playing a comic-book supervillain. Remember Bane in The Dark Knight Rises? Maybe it's time for him to play a superhero!
