Taron Egerton Apprehensive To Play as the New ‘Wolverine’
Even though there is still a need for confirmation, Taron Egerton shared that he is apprehensive as well to play as the new ‘Wolverine’. Hugh Jackman played the character of ‘Wolverine’ for 17 years and he is well-known for his contribution to making this character well-adorned and loved.
Egerton said “I don’t think it would be wrong to say that. 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 [the role of Wolverine] does come around, they’ll give me a shot,” according to an article published in The Direct.
