Actually I think Hugh Jackman looks a lot like Wolverine. Obviously you are not going to find someone that looks just like the comic book drawings, but I think Jackman has the look of Logan.

And wasn't Jackman a relative unknown when he was cast in the first movie? I still would not consider him a big star.

I do agree with your point that comic book movies should be cast with mostly unkowns. I remember when they were going through all that trouble getting the Superman movie made, and some of the names they were throwing out to play Superman I was like... no way should soandso play superman.

Comic book fans are very passionate. And I dont mean the fans that buy their issues in the grocery store and only read the big two... I am talking hardcore comic book fans... we never grow up, but that is part of the beauty of it.
