    Reeves: 'I wanted to play Wolverine'

    Keanu Reeves has revealed that he would love to have taken on the role of comic book character Wolverine.

    The actor, who played Vertigo Comics' hero Constantine in a movie adaptation, admitted that he was jealous when the part of the X-Men character went to Hugh Jackman.

    "I had a little actor envy when Hugh Jackman got to play Wolverine and I didn't. The claws are cool and I liked his fortitude and honour," he told Metro.

    Reeves also revealed that he has been a fan of superhero stories throughout his life, saying: "As a kid I loved comic books. I started at summer camp reading Richie Rich and Archie.

    "Later I got into [writer] Frank Miller and loved The Dark Knight Returns and Alan Moore's Watchmen. Then I became interested in Japanese anime."

    he'd be an awful wolverine, he'd be a better batman. i can sort of see him as jon osterman in watchmen, he has the right sort of apathy

            I like Keanu Reeves, don't get me wrong. But as Wolverine? I just don't think so. Hugh Jackman was an excellent choice IMO.

                Why would he have made a statement like that now, since they've had a continuous wolverine actor since 2000?

                    not everything that leaves the mouth of a celebrity is a carefully orchestrated statement for a specific purpose, perhaps it just came up in an interview, and he was being honest.

                      He ruined Constantine. He helped ruin the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Stll. Don't let him near anything else even remotely sci-fi. Stick to helpnig ruin Sandra Bullock romantic comedies.

                        I actually thought Reeves was the only good part of the "The Day The Earth Stood Still" remake...

                          To play Wolverine you need to be able to act.

                            The Matrix was one of the best sci-fi films of our time.
