Actor Taron Egerton went on to reveal to The New York Times that he has already met with Marvel Studios Boss Kevin Feige and also some executives.

Egerton went on to reveal that he would try his best to succeed Hugh Jackman, if he lands up with the role, although he the actor also admitted he would try and be “apprehensive as well” after star Hugh Jackman went on to become a fan-favorite playing the adamantium-embellished mutant. Even though he is nervous, however, he does hopes to have a shot at playing James Howlett in the MCU:

“I don’t think it would be wrong to say that. I’d be excited but I’d be apprehensive as well, because Hugh is so associated with the role that I’d wonder if it’d be very difficult for someone else to do it…. But hopefully if [the role of Wolverine] does come around, they’ll give me a shot.”

However, the report has given no confirmation whether Egerton’s meetings on Marvel Studios were Wolverine’s role or for another MCU character. Whatever one might say, Kingsman lead star is still among the most popular fan-favourite castings to portray the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Wolverine alongside Daniel Radcliffe.
