Liam McIntyre, the voice actor behind Logan in Insomniac Games' *Marvel's Wolverine*, has said his performance was shaped by every previous take on the character rather than any single one. Speaking to Polygon while promoting his new animated series *Golden Axe*, McIntyre explained that he studied performers such as Hugh Jackman, Cal Dodd and Steve Blum to understand what made their portrayals distinctive, before finding his own way into the role rather than imitating them directly.

McIntyre described the process as building on "the shoulders of greats", drawing on Wolverine's long history and the game's script to work out which parts of himself fitted the character. His performance, which brings out a more vulnerable side to Logan alongside the character's usual anger, has been praised by critics even though *Marvel's Wolverine* itself has received lacklustre reviews overall, ranking among Sony's weakest-reviewed PS5 exclusives. The game launches on PlayStation 5 on 15 September, a day before *Golden Axe*, in which McIntyre also voices Ax Battler, premieres on Paramount Plus with all ten episodes released at once.
