Comic-Con 2015: Conan O’Brien Holds Auditions To Replace Hugh Jackman As Woverine

Still, someone has to pick up the claws and replace Jackman eventually. So as part of his stream of Comic-Con themed episodes this week, being shot in San Diego, Conan revealed some of the auditions to play Wolverine with names like Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation), Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex,) Hannibal Buress (Neighbors), Patton Oswalt (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and more in the running.
Watch the Conan Wolverine auditions after the jump!
Honestly, there are plenty of people who would pay good money to see Nick Offerman play Wolverine after that audition. Also, having Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch audition for the role is not only funny, but it’s the second time he’s played a member of the X-Men. Comedian Pete Holmes used to do a recurring sketch where he played Professor X and fired one of the mutants on his team, and Middleditch played Gambit in one of the videos. You can watch that over here.
Obviously no one from this stream of totally genuine auditions is going to get the role. But it does make us wonder just what will happen with the character once Hugh Jackman truly is finished with the part?
What do you think should be done with Wolverine?
