The Internet mistook a joke from the actor for a legitimate announcement.
If you went on Twitter for the past 24 hours, you may have caught the announcement that Daniel Radcliffe is playing Wolverine. You might’ve even found yourself in an argument where you took a stance on his casting as the fan-favorite X-Men.
Well, we’re sad to inform that you just wasted your time. IGN asked Radcliffe directly, and not only is he not playing Wolverine, but he was never even approached for the role.
Don’t feel too bad, though, you weren’t the only one misled by this piece of fake news, some celebrity gossip blogs even reported on it. But where did this rumor even originate?
Wired has a regular series of videos where they ask famous people to answer the questions found on Google’s auto-complete feature. Since Google bases the auto-complete on the most common searches, the idea is that the famous person is being interviewed by the Internet.
