Taron Egerton Says He Wants to Join MCU Amid Wolverine Rumors

With the power of the internet comes of the power of fans pushing for one actor or another to play particular roles, especially in the intense fandom of Marvel Cinematic Universe.

And following the big changes happening over at Marvel Studios, fans have been speculating how and when the MCU will bring back X-Men, specifically the role of Wolverine.

Many names have been thrown around for the role, but at the top of the list for many is Rocketman star Taron Egerton.

Though the 29-year-old Welsh actor has publicly joked that he doesn’t think he is “quite grisly enough” for the role, he recently re-addressed the rumors in a statement to Variety, as reported by CBR, saying, “I think I love Marvel and I love the movies and I'd love the excuse to get in shape and I'd love to be a part of it. I mean, whether [Wolverine's] realistic or not - I don't know.

We're sure fans would be happy to see the Kingsman star in any major role in the MCU, whether it's one with adamantium claws or not.
