Movie Wolverine is so far removed from comic Wolverine. Don't get me wrong, I love the movie character, but he wasn't born for the role, he made it his own.
I don't think Hugh Jackman was born for it, I think he worked his ass off like a damn monster. He literally was considered too "fey" to play James Bond, so the piss and vinegar he puts into that character is only matched by how hard he trains himself for the part.
