Give me a lighthearted recap
Daniel Radcliffe is among the most recognizable faces in the world. He shot to fame very early in life as Harry Potter, along with cast mates Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. The trio, in the first decade of their careers, brought the fan-favorite characters to life, all the while making and breaking several box office milestones and impacting pop culture.
After the eight-part franchise wrapped up, the actors went on to do other projects, but none touched the same level of universal appreciation. Nonetheless, Radcliffe made interesting career choices, like the horror fantasy feature Horns, which over the years has emerged as a streaming favorite, a villainous turn in The Lost City, the surrealist comedy-drama Swiss Army Man, among others.
Things took an interesting turn for Radcliffe when the internet was abuzz with his fan casting as MCU’s Wolverine, a character made iconic by Hugh Jackman. While the latter reprised the role in Deadpool and Wolverine, some fans are still hoping to see Radcliffe in the iconic role. However, the actor recently addressed the rumors, calling them “very flattering,” though denying any possibility of them coming true. He told ComicBook:
"It was not. It was never real. It was a very flattering internet rumor. I was very happy about it, but it was never suggested in any kind of way by anybody with any power to make that happen. And, honestly, you would be stupid not to consider something like that, but if they do other Wolverines, being the person who follows Hugh Jackman is not on my bucket list for anything. For any role of his, particularly the role he has made the most iconic of his career, I am happy not to be doing that and let him keep doing it."
Daniel Radcliffe Can be Seen in 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins'
Adding to his versatile roles, Radcliffe is currently seen in NBC’s The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, along with legendary comedian Tracy Morgan. In Collider’s review, Tania Hussain writes: “Radcliffe’s Arthur is the perfect balance to Morgan because the actor commits to his character’s self-seriousness so much that it becomes the comedy. Nailing that tonal tightrope too, he pivots most refreshingly from dry, British discomfort to genuinely raw self-pity without a genre shift. Playing someone who wants to be this Werner Herzog, authoritative documentarian but keeps giving himself away with tiny humorous reactions that you need to see to believe, Radcliffe treats Arthur less like a man behind the camera and more a security blanket for his own emotional issues, and that’s where his performance gets sneakily rich."
