What’s the height requirement for playing a superhero anyway?

More than 14,000 people have signed a Change.org petition to have “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star Danny DeVito replace Hugh Jackman as clawed mutant Wolverine in any future X-Men installments.

“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,” the petition reads.

For nearly two decades, Jackman was the face of Wolverine, a run that ended with James Mangold’s “Logan” in 2017. When Disney and Fox studio merged in March, Marvel (which is owned by Disney) regained the rights to the Fantastic Four and X-Men characters, which had been sold to 20th Century Fox back in 1993. Since then, fans have been speculating whether the Marvel Cinematic Universe will re-introduce these characters, such as Wolverine, with new actors.

Disney CEO Bob Iger isn’t denying the possibility of a new X-Men crew, telling the Hollywood Reporter last year that it “only makes sense,” adding, “There shouldn’t be two Marvels.”

Jackman played a buff and brooding Wolverine. DeVito, for his part, has played a mutant before — waddling, tuxedo-clad villain The Penguin in Tim Burton’s “Batman Returns” back in 1992.

So what could DeVito bring to the role?

“Danny DeVito is the best actor of all time, and can play any role,” writes one fan. “If he can play Arnold Schwarzenegger’s twin brother” — referring to the 1988 buddy comedy “Twins” — “he can play Logan being the best at what he does.”

“This is the most important cause I’ve ever supported,” says one signatory. Another called the comedian “God’s gift to us.”

“Wolverine is short. DeVito is short. Wolverine is hairy. Hey, so is Devito. THIS MAKES SENSE!” one astute petitioner observes.

Fun fact: According to Marvel’s character bio, Wolverine comes in at 195 pounds (without his Adamantium metal skeleton) and just 5 feet 3 inches tall. Technically, Devito is still shy 6 inches, but much closer in height than Jackman — who stands at a strapping 6 feet 2.

But can 74-year-old DeVito really play an aging superhero? In an interview with Slashfilm, X-Men producer Lauren Schuler Donner says the physical toll of playing Wolverine was part of the reason for 50-year-old Jackman’s departure, saying, “Once you reach a certain age, the body just won’t go anymore.”
