Nick Offerman auditioned for the role of Wolverine.

The Parks and Recreation star revealed that he read for the role in Bryan Singer's original 2000 X-Men film.

The actor has since gone on to voice the titular character in the animated Axe Cop comic book adaptations.

"You know actually, I auditioned for Wolverine when Bryan Singer made the first X-Men movie," Offerman told Newsarama.

"I went on tape reading for that role. I always felt when I was younger, I could have taken a good crack at Wolverine.

"These days, I love the lead character of The Boys - I'm blanking on the name - Butcher! That's it."

The role of Wolverine went to Hugh Jackman, who will celebrate his eighth appearance as the character in Singer's upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Offerman will be guest-starring in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons.
