Talking with Feige raises the chances of Egerton getting a shot to play Wolverine just slightly, but it’s equally possible that Feige and crew have someone else in mind for him to play. Specifically, it’s Taron Egerton of Kingsman and Rocketman fame (or more importantly, Moomintroll) who wants to get in on the comic book action. Ever since Fox got themselves snatched up Disney and Kevin Feige made it clear that the mutants would be making their way to the MCU eventually, there’s been no shortage of speculation about who’ll be playing the new batch of X-Men. Moreso than Professor X or Magneto, Wolverine is the one that everyone’s got some opinion on.

Taron Egerton gives a promising update on the production of Kingsman 3, which will conclude the trio of films centered on Eggsy and Merlin.

While Egerton hasn't appeared in a film since playing Elton John in 2019's Rocketman, between potentially playing the next Wolverine in the MCU to the release of Kingsman 3, the next few years could be big ones for the rising prominence of the actor. Egerton is deferential, saying, "I am a humble pawn in the equation," but confirming that, "there is a script." Actors are often kept in the dark about such decisions until films are in the final stages of pre-production, which is precisely why so many of them become producers. Blue Blood was supposed to be shot back-to-back with the prequel, but as with many productions in the past few years, that plan was upended by the COVID pandemic. Vaughn is deeply invested in the franchise at this point, and seems to really want there to be a proper send-off for the Eggsy/Harry relationship. The King's Man followed the formation of The Kingsmen agency by Ralph Fiennes' Duke Orlando Oxford amidst the turmoil of WWI, decades before the events of the other films which are set in the present day.

Not only because of his build and age, he can also act in any production. Egerton also stated that it is not the first time he wants to play this role. Egerton said he is willing to do it despite having his doubts because of Jackman’s imprint since he is a legend in that character. Taron Egerton commented that he met with Marvel executives to position himself as an option for the Marvel character. Taron did not state if it was official that he would be Wolverine. However, we all know that Marvel wants someone to portray the character.

"I actually don't know what I want to do," he explained. But we're, uh, it's one of the, uh, [LAUGH] Yeah, yeah ... The problem is sometimes you think you have it on the day, you think that's a great idea.
