The Misfits' Glen Danzig Was Almost Fox's WOLVERINE, Says He Would've Played Wolvie Less Gay

Someone's envious here, huh? ;)

danzig understands wolverine better than jackman. plus he has the right "misfit" attitude to play a loner with mental problems like wolverine. Dn't know if the man can act though...

Whhhhhhaaaaaa whaaaaaaa, what a bitch tits.

I was hoping he would've gotten the role.

Neve really praised Jackman as Wolverine. Danzig would've been better IMO

Lmao because that picture of him really makes him look less gay that Jackman. Jackson is and will always be Wolverine

Danzig once was shooting a video for "Killer Wolf" in the mountains and this random wolf literally came on set, went straight to Danzig, and Danzig pet him like a puppy. AWESOME

isn't it about time for another musician to knock him out again?

"Dansig: It wouldn't have been as gay. Actually, he wasn't the first choice."

Dansig ? come on reporters at least spell the guys name right

Firstly, this guy has next to no acting experience. Secondly, He really doesn't look all that much like Wolverine, and he pretty old now. Thirdly, what a prick for saying that.

Wolverine has been my hero since I was five. Marvel Comics took a dive after Age of Apocalypse so I gave up on comic books when I went to middle school. Then, Danzig became my hero. Then, my life crossed over and I realized...they're the same person. True Danzig/Wolverine fans understand this.

@jme Whoops,that's how it was spelled in the original article.

Because he was so solid in…uh…the Prophecy 2? Danzig would've been Christmas Ham to the power of Nic Cage as Wolverine.

So let's see - talentless, seroid-abusing hairboy poser thinks he would have been "less gay" than Hugh Jackman. Riiiiiight. Glenn Danzig looks like the poster boy for West Hollywood metal fetish bars. Anybody who thinks Danzig has ANY kind of understanding of Wolverine is seriously deluded.

@GIZNAD
yeah , so hes the same ....so would Wolverine let himself get his ass decked my a skinny metal dude and a big fat security guard?

I like Glenn, dig mis music , but sometime Glenn lets Glenn go to his head

Viltrumite, you don't say "firstly". SECONDLY, Danzig had a cameo in Prophecy 2 with Christopher Walken. Oh, and are you retarded? He looks EXACTLY like Wolverine. He came up with the devil lock haircut. That's basically the link to Wolverine's devil haircut. In Wolverine #66(1992), Wolverine goes to hell and out of his mind. He actually sees his heroes in a mirage of sorts and one of them is none other than Elvis. Please, please. I loved Hugh Jackman in The Fountain, but overall he's a Broadway actor. Which means he actually HAS talent. It's not hard for Jackman to play Wolvie. It's primarily a one dimensional character that America loves to see onscreen.

He Got Decked cold by Two different guys..on film. Youtube's a hell of a thing.

Again. love his music, but he gets carried away.

FTY, Dougray Scott did have a "falling out" he got injured on MI2 and had to back out.

How was Hugh Jackman's Wolverine gay? A little butthurt Glenn?

jackman is still in the closet, and should never have been wolvie

Ok I still have the Wizard Magazine from when they were casting. I know they mentioned Dougray Scott but I don't remember Glen. Gonna go back and check it out.

Seriously? Glen Danzig? Dude's a punk. He couldn't act his way out of a wet paper sack.

"Less Gay" says the guy with flowing shoulder length locks...

Kevberg, I'm glad you brought that up, my friend! You see, in the Origins movie(which I admit, sucked) when they were on the bridge, this HUGE guy calls Wolvie a "runt". That's the same thing that happened with Glenn. Glenn deserved that punch. Wolverine also deserves a punch sometimes, he's not a nice guy. What should've happened in the movie is Wolvie should've gotten out the car, lost his temper, and gotten knocked out. He would've realized he should control himself.

@StrangerX
At the TIme, there were RUMORS in trade mags that he was up for it , but NEVER confirmed .
Dougray Scott didn't have a falling out with Singer, he was injured on MI:2 right before he was to start training for X-men.

They got the right man for the job...anyone with any sense of history will remember that Jackman shut many nasayers up when the movie hit.

I met him once, hes fn short, and was still dressing in his eighties black outfit, loved him growing up listening to the misfits, but is such an asshole. But he's still a huge icon in punk and metal music,and the comic book world, I'd go see him if they did a misfits reunion though haha

btw, i don't think it's cool for people to act like bigots and say "oh, bro, he's butthurt, he looks gay cuz of his hair." Hugh Jackman is ACTUALLY gay, you idiots. I like Hugh btw. I'm not a homophobe, I wear tight pants and listen to emo bands, so i get picked on a bunch.

@ha1frican So is Thor gay?

@kevberg- Thanks
I think I'm gonna check out the mag anyway just for nostalgic purposes now.

DAMN I MISS WIZARD!!!

I'm so glad this gentleman gave us his professional and in depth opinion on Hugh Jackmans performance as " I wouldn't have been so gay ". Who the hell is this guy anyway? What acting experience does he have? Screw this guy... Hugh's performance is fine.

Jackman is an amazing actor. He was what made Wolverine so relevant.

And also, this is not gay?

@valeriesghost no because he doesn't look like a tool who is trying to come off as hardcore... this guy does

Jackman is an average Wolverine. Definitely didn't nail the character but most of you will accept anything anyway.

I have never liked Jackman as Wolverine and after the dreadful X-Men Origins: Wolverine, I will probably not see the upcoming one. Here hoping that the new doesn't get off the ground and is cancelled...

I dont like this "Danzig" character! Jackmans Wolverine is great and always a pleasure to watch on screen. It may not be exactly like the comics but im ok with that.

Jackman is passable, but he didn't nail the role like say RDJ as Tony Stark. Now THAT is perfect casting

Magic8@ do you know how ignorant and stupid you sound? Oh because the man has a background in theatre that makes him a sissy? Shut the hell up that's seriously a stupid statement. Jackman has a better understanding and portrayal of the character than this butthurt prick ever will. When it comes to films a persons height is trivial considering they could easily make Jackman shorter which has been done. Get over it

Probably worst thing you could do. Misfits needs to stay away from Marvel/Dc.

Danzig would have been awesome. To those who call Danzig a poser are probably posers themselves, because that's the only people who really throw that word around. Anyone who is familiar with Danzig's career know that he is the poster-boy for a anti-poser.

I literally have a video tape of him being interviewed while reading a Wolverine comic, talking about how much he likes the violence. He's short, has the build and attitude, and has done some acting. He could have done it.

That's a picture from 1992ish. Considering what the rest of the world looked like in 92 I think he looks pretty damn kick ass.

Seriously who is this guy?! I literally do not know him :-/ it just sounds like he's jealous of Jackman, who actually introduced me to the character of Wolverine, so I have no complaints about him :-)

Magic8@ nothing you said went over my head. Plain and simple Hugh Jackman is the only Wolverine and therefore in the eyes of the general public he is and will always be Wolverine. Was it spot on casting? No but it's the casting we got and the casting we are most familiar with.

The guy has been reading Wolverine for decades, and has even started his own comic book company. And yeah, he got knocked out by a dude twice his size, unfortunately it was on video so everyone thinks thats the only fight he's been in and lost. The dude knows he's small, and still roughs it up every time someone gives him shît no matter how big they are, gotta respect that.

Jackman Is Fine... Who In The [frick] IS This Guy?

At the end of the day Jackman got the part and is playing Wolverine still.

magic8 and AlcoholicA, you guys rule.

The Misfits' Glen Danzig Was Almost Fox's WOLVERINE, Says He Would've Played Wolvie Less Gay

The former frontman for The Misfits was once upon a time up for Wolverine in Fox's X-Men film. Apparently, Danzig is not a fan of Jackman's interpretation of the character.
