Taron Egerton confirms he's met with Marvel Studios about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which could be for the role of the new Wolverine. Thanks to Disney's acquisition of 20th Century a few years back, Marvel Studios gained the movie rights to all of the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters. Audiences have already started to see some of these characters in the MCU, as Patrick Stewart's Professor X was in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which also included John Krasinski playing Mister Fantastic.

This has put Marvel Studios in a tough spot of trying to find a creative way to reimagine Weapon X in the MCU. Furthermore, it puts great pressure on the next actor who will have adamantium claws popping from his hands.
