Famously Canadian Wolverine cast with another Australian actor in Insomniac’s PS5 game — star calls it “one of the greatest honors of my life, one of the biggest responsibilities I’ve ever had”

Creative director Marcus Smith praised McIntyre’s range, noting the performance’s authenticity and adding, “we all agreed: He’s the one. We don’t need to see anyone else.” Despite Wolverine’s Canadian roots, the casting continues a trend of Australian actors excelling in the role.

McIntyre said he had already played a section of the game and called the experience “visceral, immediate, and so incredibly satisfying,” adding, “I was like, ‘this is gonna be amazing.'” That kind of enthusiasm from the lead actor raises expectations for engaging, responsive combat.

Insomniac has described the game as darker and more brutal than players might expect from the studio, and after the controversial “claws up through the face” moment—one the director worried might be “too far”—the footage certainly feels grittier than previous Insomniac outings.
