Claws Retracted: Egerton's Wolverine WoesEgerton, whose on-screen charisma has enamored fans, sparked a wildfire of Wolverine fantasies. But alas, Jackman’s shoes seem a tad big to fill. As reported by MovieWeb, Egerton's sentiments about the role have seen a shift, but not necessarily in the direction fans hoped.
Aging Out of Adamantium?At 34, Egerton finds himself at a crossroads, expressing concerns about his age vis-à-vis the character. "Well, the one that I mentioned is up for grabs, but I’m too old for it now. I think that ship has probably sailed," remarked the actor. This points to the potential direction Marvel might take, envisioning a younger Logan in its upcoming endeavors.
Shifting Gears & Superhero DreamsWhile still holding admiration for the MCU, Egerton reflects on his career trajectory, hinting that perhaps superhero roles might not align with his future aspirations. "I think maybe I’m past the point where that felt like the right thing [for my career]." But for the hopeful, it's heartening that he hasn't shut the MCU door entirely!
Egerton’s Next Level: From Mutant to TetrisWhile Egerton might not be sharpening Wolverine's claws, he's set to dazzle in another avatar - headlining in 'Tetris' streaming on Apple TV+ from March 31, 2023. The buzz is palpable, with eager fans lining up to see him maneuver through a different kind of block.
It’s true, hopes of seeing Egerton in Wolverine’s rugged demeanor may have been quashed, but there's a wide cinematic universe waiting to embrace him. As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. And who knows, the MCU might just be waiting on the other side!
