There could be a new Wolverine in town, bub.
“I don’t think it would be wrong to say that,” Egerton toldTheNewYorkTimes.
Still, he’s staying optimistic.

He went on to portray Wolverine (a.k.a.
Logan) almost a dozen times in official appearances, cameos, and archival footage.
He’s also been nominated for a Grammy Award and two BAFTAs.
Like Jackman, Egerton is a singer, having voiced Johnny the gorilla inSingandSing 2.
And Jackman and Egerton actually worked together on 2015’sEddie the Eagle, about British ski jump Olympian Eddie Edwards.
“I used to have to practice so I wouldn’t hit people.
And one thing I neglected to practice was the follow-through,” Jackman said at the time.
“I’ve got a number of scars on my thighs, and it’s really not cool.
Got pretty close to some sensitive areas, but everything’s fine.”
Instantly, I knew it was a winner.
It just felt like everything was coming full circle.
However, I must admit my stomach and my mind were like, ‘Oh no.'"
Just a few things for Egerton to consider if he does get the chance to go fullsnikton screen.
Representatives for Egerton and Disney did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.
