David Hayter is interested in voicing Logan in the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was met with massive backlash from fans.
As for Marvel’s Wolverine, Insomniac revealed that it was working on a triple-A action title based on the famous mutant during this past Thursday’s same universe as Insomniac's critically acclaimed Marvel's Spider-Man series. This mystery extends to who will voice Logan himself, and while some suspect that longtime Wolverine voice actor Steve Blum will reprise the role for Marvel’s Wolverine, another gaming icon is interested in strapping on the Adamantium claws for this new superhero action title.
As reported by The Gamer, David Hayter replied to Twitter Nicodemus82's suggestion that he voice Logan in the Marvel’s Wolverine a day or two after the game was first announced. In his response, Hayter says that he “was thinking [it],” prompting a wave of from fans who would love to see him in the role if Insomniac decides to pick someone other than Steve Blum to voice Wolverine.
While he's known for his X-Men film franchise that have made the most impact for superhero adaptations, as he was one of the writers of the first X-Men movie way back in 2000. In fact, Hayter shared the story of how he helped set up a scene for Hugh Jackman during filming shortly after the suggestion of him playing Logan’s gaming counterpart first came up, prompting even more followers to point out how right he would be in the role.
David Hayter truly knows his way around Wolverine given his experience writing for the character, and the deep, gruff tone he gave Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid games would be a natural fit for the equally battle-hardened Logan in Marvel’s Wolverine. However, given how early Marvel’s Wolverine is said to be in development it’s still probably going to be a while before players know who is going to be voicing the legendary X-Man in his next solo gaming adventure.
