While speculation continues to startle the fandom, the report suggests Karl Urban’s association with the film would not last long.

Is Bill Butcher a right fit for Wolverine?

There is no doubt that the righteous Billy Butcher has had a secure run as a genre icon in the industry. But from a filmmaker’s point of view, putting a recognized role of the universe in another’s shoes might lead in different directions. The report also narrated how the purists’ side of casting does not make Urban a perfect fit for the role.

Regardless of all odds, the exclusive announcement has met with some high praise from the other half of the fandom. The Salvaging Skurge, who became the epitome of sacrifice, is seeking to make a comeback by continuing his Marvel run. Moreover, not Ryan Reynolds but Karl Urban was the first pick for the alter ego of Wade Wilson. Thus, these reports stand a pretty good chance of turning true.
