A new concept design reveals what The Punisher star Jon Bernthal could look like as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine successor.

With Hugh Jackman’s time as Wolverine now over and Marvel Studios in full control of the X-Men characters, fans are eager to see who will replace the actor as the beloved clawed mutant. Many actors have been proposed by fans and one digital artist appears to think The Punisher star Jon Bernthal would be the perfect man to replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

The artist, who goes by “spdrmnkyxxiii” onInstagram, unveiled fan art that imagines The Punisher star Jon Bernthal as Wolverine, complete with the same hairstyle Hugh Jackman sported during his time as the Marvel hero. As the artist explains in the caption, Jon Bernthal could play Wolverine should Marvel opt to recast The Punisher now that his Netflix series has been canceled and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is in control of the company’s television division.

Marvel Studios confirmed plans to include mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during its 2019 San Diego Comic-Con presentation. However, the studio is reportedly in no rush to introduce the X-Men to the MCU, meaning it will likely be some time before we learn who will replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

Here is the official synopsis for Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher season two:

Former marine-turned-vigilante Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) has been living a quiet life on the road until he suddenly becomes embroiled in the attempted murder of a young girl (Giorgia Whigham).
