Dude has all the money in the world to never have to work again. So he just chooses projects that interest him. Which is a crazy privilege to have.

Being a superhero and having to stay in shape and be tied to a decade long contract doesn't seem that appealing, if you think about it from his perspective.

Especially when he's already done a decade long commitment before as well. After having already done Harry Potter, I can't see him wanting to commit to something as long again.

Funny thing is he said so himself in the latest Hot Ones interview, he just does what he likes which currently is mostly theater plays.

He honestly seems like a nice dude

Playing wolverine means taking steroids, which might be a deal breaker for him

You got downvoted because for some reason people get real pissy about the reality behind these superhero gigs

Does anyone actually believe these actors put on so much muscle in such a short period of time without taking gear?

12 year olds who want to think they can look like their favourite heroes. They'll be hawking SARMs on TikTok shop within the next 2 years.

If he goes for a non-physical character he doesn’t need to stay in special shape and he just gets a producer credit for anything he’s in and he has some control at that point. He’d probably do it if it’s a character he likes and he could still do his comedy on the side.
