“The only man able to take the throne after Hugh Jackman,” wrote Ring Arius, the username for the petition’s creator. “We believe that if Wolverine is to make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that the only man able to pull it off is Danny Devito.”

Marvel Comics official directory places Logan’s height at 5 ft. 3 inches Devito clocks in at 4 ft. 10 inches, certainly closer in stature than 6 ft. 2 inches.
