Chris Evans as Wolverine is the desire of two very important directors of Marvel, because they believe that his personality is similar to that of the superhero X-Men.
This kind of news has not stopped since Hugh Jackman left the role of the mutant in the movie “Logan”, after 17 years of life on the big screen.
The impending inclusion of Charles Xavier’s students in the Marvel Cinematic Universe makes it necessary to choose a new Wolverine, luckily the choices are not few.
Taron Egerton could be Wolverine in the MCU, according to an interview
One of the actors that fans prefer to get their hands on the superhero is Taron Egerton, who in a recent interview with the “New York Times” did nothing but increase the rumors of his joining the MCU.
Not only did Egerton confirm that he’s in talks with Marvel Studios and Kevin Feige to join their cinematic universe, but he left open the possibility that the role chosen for him could be that of Wolverine.
Although Marvel Studios has not revealed its plans for Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men, the presence of Professor Charles Xavier in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” could suggest that the integration of mutants into the MCU could happen sooner than expected. .
Taron Egerton has a great Hollywood career backing him to bring Wolverine to life. He made his film debut in the 2014 film ‘Testament of Youth’, just a year later to star in ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ as Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin. The same role was repeated in 2017 in “Kingsman: The Golden Circle”. In 2019, Taron Egerton wowed critics with his work in ‘Rocketman’, a biopic of singer-songwriter Elton John.
Additionally, the UK-born actor has already shown his enthusiasm for Wolverine’s life in the past, having uploaded a photo to his official Twitter account in January 2017 of himself in the mutant’s signature pose. In that post he tagged Hugh Jackman and Twentieth Century Fox.
In the first, Egerton appears full-body in the traditional Wolverine suit, the same one used by the mutant in the comics, animated series and absent from the live-action films.
In the second image, Bosslogic drew Egerton from head to shoulder height. In this piece of art, the 32-year-old actor sports Logan’s signature hairstyle, sports a bushy beard and has a fierce look on his face.
