Marvel's Wolverine Actor Liam McIntyre Isn't Fazed by Players' Brutal Comments About the Game
Wolverine actor Liam McIntyre has seen what fans are saying about him and Insomniac's latest superhero game, but it's no skin off his nose.
Marvel's Wolverine actor Liam McIntyre seems unfazed by the harsh comments some players have made about the game. The latest superhero game featuring Insomniac's latest superhero game is out for many players around the world, and opinions are strong. Discussions surrounding the game have been consistent over the past month, with certain players criticizing Insomniac's art direction, character design, and gameplay elements shown to the media and in early reviews.
One central focus of the Wolverine debate is actor Liam McIntyre, who portrays the game's main character. Some fans express concerns that he doesn't closely resemble the iconic mutant, while others feel the character's face scans and art style didn't accurately capture his appearance. McIntyre has been enthusiastic about playing Wolverine from the moment his involvement was announced, but only recently became aware of the backlash from some players on social media.
Responding to one such player, McIntyre joked that he's faced worse criticism since his acting career began. He reflected on his experience taking over the role of Spartacus, a character originally played by the late Andy Whitfield, and expressed his pride in the game, saying, "I hope everyone has fun. I'm proud as hell of this game.
It's a blast." McIntyre is familiar with dealing with vocal fan opinions when playing iconic characters, having previously portrayed Spartacus in the 2010s Starz miniseries. Despite the differing opinions on his portrayal of Wolverine, McIntyre is excited for players to experience his version of the character and appreciate the opportunity to be a part of such a beloved role.
