"Rocketman" star Taron Egerton has revealed that he has met Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and other executives to discuss the possibility of starring in the role of Wolverine, a fan-favourite character previously essayed by Hugh Jackman.
In an interview with The New York Times, Egerton said if given an opportunity he would be more than happy to pick up the baton from Jackman and play the character central to the "X-Men" and "Avengers" franchises.
바카라œI 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 actor said.Â
Jackman played James "Logan" Howlett/ Wolverine in seven "X-Men" movies between 2000 and 2017.Â
Egerton will next be seen in Apple TV+ drama "Black Bird".
