People really want Danny DeVito to play Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a new petition already garnering 50,000 signatures. Created by Roy Thomas, Len Wein, and John Romita Sr, Wolverine debuted in the closing s of The Incredible Hulk #180 before having a more prominent role in issue #181. Also known as Logan/Weapon X, Wolverine was later crossed over to a revamped version of the X-Men and sometimes The Avengers. Further developed by such acclaimed comic book names as Chris Claremont, John Byrne, and Frank Miller, Wolverine went on to become one of the most enduring and overwhelmingly popular characters in Marvel Comics. As such, he has been adapted multiple times in both animation and live-action.
On the big screen, Wolverine was Kevin Feige will cast a new Wolverine for the MCU. As a result, months of speculation as to who should land the role has raged for months online.

DeVito is, of course, the star of many beloved films - including Get Shorty, Matilda, and Twins. DeVito shared his thoughts regarding Farrell taking over as Penguin in Matt Reeves' film, The Batman.
In of the X-Men characters, it remains to be seen just when fans can expect them to the ever-expanding shared Marvel universe. It's been reported, however, that Kevin Feige will tease the MCU slate at CCXP 2019 next week. As such, rampant speculation of an X-Men announcement has only increased in line with the signature count of the Wolverine petition. It's extremely unlikely that a petition will actually hold any sway in who is ultimately cast as Wolverine. Besides, with names like Tom Hardy and Keanu Reeves often in the mix, DeVito faces some stiff competition. Still, DeVito is at least closer in stature than Jackman was. And having DeVito as Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is at least an amusing concept to think about.
