Taron Egerton is in talks with Kevin Feige and other Marvel Studio heads about stepping into the shoes of Hugh Jackman and playing Wolverine. 

The actor, who was recently seen in Rocketman, told The New York Times about his desire to pick up the character.

He said, "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. But hopefully if it does come around, they'll give me a shot."

Meanwhile, Egerton will next appear in Apple TV+'s upcoming drama Black Bird, which will debut on July 8.
