The actor reportedly stands at 5 feet and 7.4 inches tall. Meanwhile, according to Marvel’s official records, Wolverine in the comics stands at 5 feet and 3 inches with an disproportionate weight of 300 lbs (owing to his massively heavy adamantium skeleton, obviously).This means that Egerton is only 3.5 inches taller than the comic book representation of Logan. The only other actor amongst the ones in the fan-cast runs shorter than Egerton was Daniel Radcliffe, who is 5 feet and 4 inches tall.
