The gang at Corridor Digital had a little creative fun recently by creating a video that imagines Danny DeVito as Wolverine. Using AI animation tools and heavy influence from his character Frank Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, they replace Hugh Jackman with DeVito as Wolverine from the X-Men films.
Jallen and Matt set out to prove that Danny DeVito would make a perfect Wolverine by making their very own Wolverito. Somebody’s gonna get stabbed!
I don’t know if you remember or not, but in 2019 a petition was launched for Danny DeVito to be the next Wolverine. It read:
The only man able to take the throne after Hugh Jackman. We believe that if Wolverine is to make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the only man able to pull it off is Danny DeVito.
A couple good reasons as to why I believe so strongly that he suits the character:
Danny DeVito’s height is a lot closer to the comic books portrayal of Wolverine. With Danny being 4’10” and Wolverine 5’3″.
Secondly, we all saw Danny’s portrayal of the Trashman. So, we know he is fully capable of fighting, and that he is not afraid when things get dirty!
I’ve included the complete video along with a making of video that they released. You know, DeVito really would be pretty awesome to see as Wolverine.
