The well-known cartoonist Mark Millar, through his profile Twitter, he left a post where he announces that the actor Taron Egerton (star of Kingsman and Rocketman) will inherit the role left wandering by Hugh Jackman thus becoming the new Wolverine for the MCU.
The news logically is not to be understood as an official source since it will then be there The Marvel movies herself to say who and when will take Wolverine's place, but the author, being very close to the US home having worked on several comics such as Civil War and Old Man Logan, has decided to have his say through social networks.
Furthermore, Egerton himself, a few weeks ago he said what he thought of an alleged candidacy to play the famous Superhero:
“I've heard about this rumor. I don't know if I'm macabre enough, you know? I mean Marvel Studios thinks I'm ready for that big role then, let's do it. But I think there are probably better candidates. But I'd like to be involved in that world somewhere. "
Obviously waiting for future denials or confirmations from Marvel, we remember that Millar and Egerton are both good friends and colleagues, and that the protagonist of the franchise Kingsman: Secret Service, owes his success to the author Millar who has created the original comic.
From 2002. Always remember I'm never wrong. PS Taron Egerton will be the next Wolverine ? https://t.co/6OtsLbnWqu
