There’s a petition to make Danny DeVito the next Wolverine

Paul Moore

Make it happen.

Throughout the history of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the iconic Frank Reynolds has done some pretty shady shit.

Remember when he ran that sweatshop in Vietnam? Whenever a worker died or lost a limb in his factory, he would put the remains in the soup that got fed to the rest of the workforce.

There was also the whole business with Wolf Cola, his salacious behaviour with Gail the Snail, and the fact that he once got naked and climbed out of the couch.

However, there’s no denying the fact that ‘The Warthog’ is most definitely a hero and we’ve previously discussed why.

In Frank’s own words, “you guys all think I’m a hero, and I’ll accept that responsibility” so it’s only logical that Danny DeVito takes on the role of a comic book hero.

Of course, the star of Twins and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest has previously played the villainous Penguin in Batman Returns but some fans have a very clear idea on what DeVito’s next role should be.

Granted, fan petitions are usually a massive waste of time – you can read our views on the insulting one to remake Season 8 of Game of Thrones here – but we couldn’t help but laugh at the image of DeVito replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

The petition states: “The only man able to take the throne after Hugh Jackman. 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.”

At present, over 20,000 people have signed it and it’s clear what the people want.

They want to see Logan getting ripped shit drunk on rum ham while hunting for crabs.
