Taron Egerton Wants To Be Wolverine. Confirms Meeting with Marvel
Marvel is a fan of making their own casting decisions. There are still some very popular casting choices, even though there isn’t a universal agreement.
These are also important to Marvel. It has been revealed that Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness was actually because so many people wanted to see it. This is quite cool.
Fans could soon be able to see another casting opportunity. According to ComicBook Taron Egerton, a star of Kingsman and Rocketman has confirmed that he met with Marvel Studios. This is right after he revealed that he was interested in being Wolverine in Marvel Studios. Coincidence? It is not, I believe.
In an interview with The New York Times, he stated his interest in the position: “I don’t think it would have been wrong to say that,” when he was asked if Hugh Jackman will succeed him. “I would be excited, but I’d also be apprehensive because Hugh is so closely associated with the role that it would be very difficult to have someone else do it.
ComicBook asked Egerton if he would be interested in joining the X-Men Cast. He said he would “love to”. We’ll have to keep an eye on this. Egerton isn’t the only actor interested in playing Wolverine. Scott Eastwood urged fans to create a petition earlier this year to get him in the role. He’s already stated that the character is one of his favourite comic book heroes so it’s not surprising that he’s interested.
In March, Pablo Schreiber revealed that he had “flirted with” the idea that he would be the new Wolverine face. Marvel could have been changed by the incredibly awkward Master Chief sex scene.
