Kodi Smit-McPhee Is Wee Wolverine Child actor found for young Hugh Jackman Source: Superhero Hype
With X-Men Origins: Wolverine, or Wolverine as everyone will simply be calling it, readying itself for shooting, Superhero Hype has reported that casting directors have found the boy to play the young Logan. And it's...some kid.
Kodi Smit-McPhee apparently 'stars' in Romulus, My Father, but we can't say we know his work. In fact he's so little known that Google turns up only a couple of pictures of him, so sorry for the less than gripping image.

It should start from his days as an 30-something adult during WW1 and go through the covert stuff, WW2 and the cold war to the Weapon Plus and Weapon 10 (X) stuff. Thats what we want to see. Training in Japan to control his... Read More
I have now lost all - ALL interest in this project. Do we really need to see Logan as a child? no. This is really losing itself up it's own arse. I'm more interested in Mummy 3. ... Read More
