X-Men director Bryan Singer and producer Simon Kinberg say recasting Wolverine in the future seems to be kind of impossible once Hugh Jackman hangs up his claws.

The duo said that they couldn’t imagine that the iconic character would be played by someone other than Jackman, 47, reported Digital Spy.
“I do think you would want to figure out how to tell more Wolverine stories. So either we would try to entice Hugh to come back and eat more chicken and work out for a few months, or we would have to figure out a creative way to move forward.
