Taron Egerton confirms he's met with Kevin Feige about a role in the MCU

When asked about Wolverine, he smiled and said, 'hopefully if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot'

(via @nytimes)

quote:

“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"


Would you like this choice?

Dude is going to have to shave 10 year off his life from all the steroids he's going to have to take to gain 35 lbs of pure muscle in 2 months like all these guys do.

Seems like a pretty good actor so who knows. Marvels best bet is to make the character as much like the comic and as little as Hugh Jackman. It’s already big shoes to fill.

Don’t think he can pull off the rage it takes to make wolverine believable.

Does it matter that he's like five feet tall?

Wolverine is short as frick so that’s not an issue.

But it’s giving me “Zach Efron as Fritz Von Erich” vibes.

I like the response that suggests Jensen Ackles.

Impossible to fill the shoes of Hugh Jackman

No.

If they're smart, they'll focus on casting Scott and introduce a new version of the X-Men that isn't totally dependent on one or two stars.

If they are really smart they'll scrap the X-Men and introduce the newest version of said Heroes in recent comic for the Millennial and Diverse crowd.


The Old X-Men message and their allegory to gays is done and over with. Gays are widely accepted now and even have a month of their own. Now time for the new Gen Z version.

What would the Gen Z version be? I’m not really versed in recent comics, so this is a genuine question.

I asked Hugh Jackman Wednesday if he would go to the MCU. He just laughed.

Dude was really nice. Took pictures with everyone waiting outside the stage door.
