Marvel’s Wolverine Picked the Perfect Actor to Play Logan

by

Although Marvel’s Wolverine isn’t coming out for a while, the recent announcement has eased many concerns, especially about who would play the main character, James “Logan” Howlett, aka Wolverine. With the game’s success depending on the right casting choice, fans were understandably worried, even though Insomniac Games has a great history of choosing actors for their Marvel games. Thankfully, it looks like they’ve done it again – Liam McIntyre will be voicing Logan in Marvel’s Wolverine.

Liam McIntyre is an Australian actor who’s worked in film, television, and video games for over ten years. He’s also a skilled voice actor, having brought characters like Aquaman, Captain Boomerang, and J.D. Fenix (from *Gears 5* and *Gears of War 4*) to life. But what makes his role as Wolverine in *Marvel’s Wolverine* particularly exciting is how perfectly he fits the character, considering the history of actors who’ve played Wolverine before him.

Liam McIntyre Makes Total Sense as Marvel’s Wolverine

From the start, McIntyre physically embodies the character of Wolverine. He’s not only providing the voice for the Marvel’s Wolverine game, but he also performed the motion capture, bringing his own appearance to life as the character. While these contributions aren’t strictly required for a great performance, they make his already excellent voice work in the reveal trailer even more impressive.

Casting McIntyre follows a pattern – finding an Australian actor who seems ideal for the role, much like when Hugh Jackman first played Wolverine. Jackman’s portrayal was so memorable that finding someone to fill his shoes was a challenge.

Honestly, Liam isn’t just physically perfect for the role, he *gets* these kinds of characters. I mean, look at his history! He was amazing as Spartacus, he’s been the voice of Aquaman for years now, and he absolutely killed it as Taron Malicos in *Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order*. That game really showed what he can do – Malicos was this incredibly angry, fallen Jedi, and it’s funny because even though they’re different, he and Logan both have that same core of rage. It’s a standout performance that makes him perfect for this!

Fans Are Already Celebrating McIntyre’s Casting in Marvel’s Wolverine

Ever since Marvel’s Wolverine was revealed at Sony’s State of Play, fans online have been very positive about Liam McIntyre being cast as Wolverine. On X (formerly Twitter), many are saying he’s perfect for the role and that his voice in the reveal trailer sounds great. While this early excitement doesn’t guarantee the game will be good, it shows Insomniac Games is starting strong with what appears to be an excellent casting choice.

Marvel’s Wolverine Casting Announcement Sets the Tone Ahead of the Game’s Release

While keeping excitement high isn’t as vital for Insomniac’s Marvel games as it is for original titles, it’s still a major focus for the studio. The game has been in development for a long time and faced several challenges, most notably the unfortunate ransomware attack Insomniac suffered. The studio has recovered well, and if the quality of what’s been revealed so far is any indication, it’s poised for further success.

Honestly, Insomniac is the studio to bet on for whatever comes next with this project. They’ve really proven themselves with their amazing Marvel games – they totally nailed it with those IPs. If they’re making choices like this casting, then *Marvel’s Wolverine* has a real shot at being just as good and continuing that winning streak. I’m feeling pretty optimistic!
