10 New Marvel Cinematic Universe Casting Rumours You Need To Know About

This is another of those "rumours" which pretty much appeared out of nowhere and has since gained a serious amount of traction online. Taron Egerton made an impact in the Kingsman movies and impressed everyone as Elton John on Rocketman, so surely a big budget Marvel movie is next for him?

Well, as great as he would be as a younger Wolverine, Egerton was quick to dismiss these reports, but certainly sounds like he's open to taking on the challenge of following in Hugh Jackman's footsteps.

"That anyone thinks I would be good for the part is really flattering," he told GQ during a recent chat. "I love Marvel, but it’s just fan stuff. There is no grounding for those rumours." Bizarrely, the interviewer asked if he's stuck a drawing of himself in the suit up on the wall (okaaaay...), to which Egerton responded: "No. Surprisingly, I don’t have any pictures of myself up on the wall."

This wouldn't be the first time an actor has denied being in talks to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so this apparent dismissal has a) done nothing to stop rumours swirling that he is, in fact, Wolverine, and b) probably don't hold much merit.
