“Podcasting is an incredible, intimate medium that’s perfect for telling stories, and I can’t think of a better partner with whom to push the boundaries of scripted podcasts than Marvel,” says Erik Diehn, CEO of Midroll Media, Stitcher’s parent company. “They make every translation of their rich universe of characters into new media fresh and interesting while still retaining the feel and spirit of the original comics, and, as a Marvel fan, I’m proud that we’ve helped them do it again in podcasting. The arrival of Wolverine and his many fans to podcasts and Stitcher is truly a signal that this medium is a major part of the American media landscape.”

The report also reveals who will play Wolverine:

Richard Armitage will lend his voice to Logan for the podcast, which writer Ben Percy says will blend the mystery aspects of true crime podcasts like Serialand S-Town with the narrative tricks of True Detective — plus a dash of Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven.

Honestly more media companies need to get into audio dramas. Graphic Audio's done some great stuff with Marvel and DC, Big Finish basically built entire universal canon with Doctor Who; but there are so many more properties that would be greatly served going a similar route.

Why we aren't getting audio dramas with the casts from the various last few Star Trek show casts has been one of the biggest wasted opportunities in the last 20 years.
