Taron Egerton Says He Is Hoping For 'Shot' To Play Wolverine

British Actor Taron Egerton is famous for his roles in films like 'Rocketman' and 'Kingsman'. He is currently promoting his Apple TV+ series 바카라˜Black Bird바카라™. 

바카라˜Rocketman바카라™ star Taron Egerton has revealed that he recently met Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige to discuss the possibility of him essaying the role of superhero Wolverine.

The actor, known for his role as Eggsy in the two 바카라˜Kingsman바카라™ films, told New York Times that he met Feige and is hoping for an opportunity to play the iconic superhero, which was earlier portrayed by Hugh Jackman in multiple 바카라˜X-Men바카라™ movies.

"I don바카라™t think it would be wrong to say that. I바카라™d be excited but I바카라™d be apprehensive as well, because Hugh is so associated with the role that I바카라™d wonder if it바카라™d be very difficult for someone else to do it... But hopefully if it does come around, they바카라™ll give me a shot," the 32-year-old actor said.

Jackman, who had co-starred with Egerton in the 2016 movie 바카라˜Eddie The Eagle바카라™, played the adamantium-clawed mutant Logan aka Wolverine in the X-Men film series from 2000 to 2018.

The Australian actor holds the Guinness World Record for 바카라˜longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero바카라™. His last turn as Wolverine was in 2017's 바카라˜Logan바카라™.

Egerton, who won a Golden Globe award for his performance as British icon Elton John in 바카라˜Rocketman바카라™ (2019), is currently promoting his Apple TV+ series 바카라˜Black Bird바카라™.
