I was just having this thought in regards to the next Wolverine after Hugh Jackman even though this movie plot is locked down at this point. But I think it would be interesting sometime to see a studio try to take advantage of the multiversal nature of their property to do a supercharged screen test by including the contenders for a role as versions of that character in an actual finished film or television show. Loki had plenty of variants together in once place - you could totally see who pops by just showing the audiences the options, though this is probably a trick you could only manage once or twice at most.
Like there have been rumours about Daniel Radcliffe being a contender though he says he does not want the job. Perhaps you could sell him on this sort of test though, like, "Hey, just come in and try it out for a few scenes and give yourself a chance to change your mind." Personally I would really want to see Brendan Fletcher play a Wolverine variant as he is a small Canadian from BC (which is pretty close to the Yukon, of course). And you have seen him already a million times in small roles, just not as a lead. If you actually put them all on screen maybe you would get the best possible read on who was the best fit to play the iconic character going forward.
