The Harry Potter star, 32, stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Friday and vehemently denied that he will be reprising Hugh Jackman‘s role as the iconic mutant with retractable claws.

‘I think it’s because Wolverine in the comics is fairly short, so I think people are going “Who’s a short actor? Him! He can maybe play him,”‘ the British actor joked.

He explained that the Wolverine rumors have been persistent for a while, with fans reading into his comments and drawing their own conclusions.

‘This is something that has like come up every so often for the last few years,’ he stated.
