Actor Taron Egerton has confirmed that he’s met with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige.
The actor is presumed likely to take on the role of Wolverine from Hugh Jackman.
He also hopes to succeed Jackman as the next Wolverine and has met with Marvel Studio executives, including the company’s president, Kevin Feige.
“I don’t think it would be wrong to say that,” he said, laughing. “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.”He paused, then flashed a grin. “But hopefully if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot.”
Egerton stars in the upcoming Apple + psychological thriller Black Bird, a six-episode mini-series that the author and screenwriter Dennis Lehane (Mystic River) adapted from the prison memoir In With the Devil, written by James Keene with Hillel Levin.
