Keanu Reeves wants to get an Adamantium skeleton for himself, or so it would seem! The 'Matrix' actor recently revealed he 'would love' to take over the role of Wolverine after Hugh Jackman's last outing. The popular and iconic 'X-Men' character had been made increasingly famous by the Australian actor, who had played the role for 17 years.

Keanu's wish to star as Wolverine came to light when he threw his name into the ring on being asked by ScreenGreek.net if he would like to play Batman after Ben Affleck, or Wolverine after Jackman. He said: "Of the two, I'd love to play Wolverine."
