The 'Rocketman' actor admitted he would be a bit 'apprehensive' if given a chance to play the X-Men character.

“I don’t think it would be wrong to say that,” Egerton, 32, told the publication with a laugh about his interest in the part. “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.”Jackman, who co-starred with Egerton in 2016’sThis isn’t the first time that Egerton has spoken publicly about the character.

In 2019, he told British“That anyone thinks I would be good for the part is really flattering,” Egerton said back then. “I love Marvel, but it’s just fan stuff. There is no grounding for those rumors.”interview, Egerton admitted that he didn’t have the right motives when taking on his roles in the critically maligned 2018 films“I ignored my instincts on those two jobs because I was offered quite a lot of money to do them,” the star said. “And that’s just fatal.

I say I've met with Marvel about playing Wolverine too. Don't mean it's true.

Ehh Emma Watson's team tried this with Yelena Belova and the role went to Florence Pugh so 🤷

I like Taron Egerton and would love to see him join the MCU, but I don’t think Wolverine is the right role for him.

Too young and not Canadian hard pass

So we might *actually* get a comic-accurate short Wolverine?!

You’re a boy. Wolverine is a MAN. This isn’t Peter Parker we’re talking about unless they are trying to CW the X-Men.

I'm sorry. Not seeing it.

This is building to a multiverse Jackman/Egerton wolverine musical number.

Joseph Quinn all the way

Who ever get the role make sure you do a good fucking job at it. Don't wanna disappoint the marvel community here.

He’s a fantastic choice for Wolverine!

At least he's short.... It's a good start...🤷🏾‍♂️

Nah Daniel Radcliffe for Wolverine

Taron when he doesn't get the part.

too pretty.. Jackman was too. Need a middleaged Eastwood look

It would be Joseph Quinn for me. He even looks like a young Tom Hardy who I would have chosen in the past.

HighDefDiscNews Better beef-up.

Wolverine Is Scott Eastwood!

Im fine with him as wolverine. But the Hugh Jackman is better.

Not a bad choice

He's got the height but he's no Hugh Jackman.

He's got the eyebrows

I'm Not Seeing it...

This is just like those Brit’s saying they would love the role of James Bond, to end up immediately looking desperate and not getting the role because of it. It’s like a curse.

Nah, keep looking!

If he said this publicly, it's either not true or not going to happen. Marvel doesn't want their news spoiled

His agent is doing their work today

AwesomEmergency 👀

That would be good casting. Go, Taron! 😃
