Taron Egerton wants 'a shot' at Marvel's Wolverine role

Welsh actor Taron Egerton, best known for playing Elton John in Rocketman, is hoping for "a shot" to play the famous Marvel role of Wolverine. Previously the iconic character has been played by Hugh Jackman, who last played the character in 2017.

Taron told The New York Times he would like "a shot" at the role. 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."

"Hopefully if it does come around they'll give me a shot."
