Taron Egerton Spent Years Denying He Played For The Role In The Star Wars Derivative That Ended With Alden Ehrenreich
Taron Egerton revealed that, a few years ago, he entered the race for the role of Han Solo, but gave up being Chewbacca’s best friend. The actor spent years denying having disputed the role, which ended with Alden Ehrenreich.
Known for roles in Kingsman: Secret Service (2014) and Rocketman (2019), Egerton confirmed to the podcast Happy Sad Confused (via EW) who even auditioned for filming as the bounty hunter immortalized by Harrison Ford.
I’ll be honest, I took the [Millenium] Falcon. I was with Chewie. I was in full costume.
Even having reached the final stage of casting tests, the actor says he turned down the role because he was not excited about the production script. Already in kingsman, Egerton felt he should be part of the franchise.
I didn’t feel like… You know, like we talked about earlier, this thing where I read the Kingsman script and I was like, ‘This is… I need to do this. That role is mine.’ I didn’t feel it [em Solo].
Han Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) grossed $392 million at the worldwide box office. The film, like the rest of the Star Wars saga, is available on Disney+.
Recently, Taron Egerton talked about the possibility of taking on the role of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. The actor had already commented on the desire to play the hero in other interviews.
Can Taron Egerton be the new Wolverine?
For the The New York Times, Egerton admitted to having met Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, to negotiate his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and take on a role in the world’s most successful film franchise.
I don’t think it would be wrong to say that. I would be excited, but also apprehensive, because Hugh it’s so associated with the role that I wonder if it would be too difficult for someone else to do it.
Despite the pressure, Egerton reformed his desire to get the role, even with the uncertainty of not being “creepy” enough to play the mutant. After 17 years, Hugh Jackman said goodbye to the character with the movie loganin 2017, although he also appeared in deadpool 2 on the last year.
Egerton and jackman co-starred in the feature Flying highin 2016, and Egerton agreed that he would have to consult his friend before taking up the baton. He also admitted that he wouldn’t be able to keep his iconic sideburns. Wolverinelike this jackman.
