Is Stranger Things alum Dacre Montgomery going to be the next Wolverine?

For those of you who love Stranger Things and the character Wolverine, there’s a rumor going around that might be of interest to you. According to MovieWeb, there’s a possibility that Billy Hargrove actor Dacre Montgomery will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the next Wolverine.

For those of you who don’t know, Wolverine is a comic book character who is typically associated with the X-Men. Wolverine has enhanced strength, animal-like instincts, and the ability to regenerate. Most notably, the superhero has three retractable claws in each hand. The character has appeared in numerous X-Men adaptations and he was portrayed by Hugh Jackman in the most recent film series.

The rumor started when Dacre Montgomery shared some fan-made art on social media. The photo recreated with the actor in Wolverine’s image. However, Montgomery deleted the post soon after.

You can see the fan art in question here.

I have to admit, the infamous Billy Hargrove mullet actually suits Wolverine. I absolutely loved Dacre Montgomery’s performance in Stranger Things, so it would be really great to see him in a different role.

Billy is a character that you love to hate, but Montgomery brought an unexpected depth to the role. If he does play Wolverine, I bet his version of the character would be just as exceptional.

On the other hand, this could just be a rumor. I see actors showcase fan art all the time, so perhaps Montgomery is just a big fan of Wolverine and wanted to show the artist some love.

Right now, it’s a waiting game for some official news on the subject, but we will keep you updated!
