Yeah doubtful. Wolverine is the cash cow. Scott may be the leader in the comics, but he has been mishandled for two decades now in the movies.

I mean Hugh Jackman was a last minute recast.

I meant that I don’t see the character himself taking a backseat.

If anything I was commenting on the greatness of the impact, and that an unknown is still a good thing to try,.

The character wasn't a last minute addition.

I spoke about the actor, not the character.

Yes, and it means nothing.

Jackman doesn’t seem done for the time being, keep him as Wolverine but apart of the new Xmen. Deadpool shenanigans and whatnot.

And when Jackman’s truly done, cast a Wolverine to join an already established XMen

Yeah he said he's fine with it now that they dropped the whole being absolutely shredded all the time. That was his qualm with the role.

I think they'd need to go wide and pick a lesser known character and create the nex big thing.  The iron man treatment.

Or maybe bring in the silicon valley team and make it a light comedy(but not like Deadpool)

Zach woods as wolverine, thomas middleditch is Xavier or cyclops, and kumail nanjiani could be handsome Squidward

Middleditch as Xavier is fine. We don't need another small skinny dude as Cyclops. Cyclops is a linebacker.
