MCU: this actor would like to embody the new Wolverine

By buying Fox studios, Disney also offered itself a good package of Marvel licenses including Deadpool and the X-Men. Universes that will enrich the MCU a little more, but when? We just know that the third episode of the smooth-talking mercenary played by Ryan Reynolds is in the pre-production phase. For the X-Men, it’s a lot fuzzier.

Spoiler alert

Nobody will have missed the big wink in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness : Professor Xavier, played by Patrick Stewart, sticks a head in the assembly of the Illuminati. Despite the cameo aspect of this appearance, it is the clear and clear translation of Kevin Feige’s desire to integrate the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a desire all the clearer than the last episode of Ms Marvel established the fact that Kamala Khan was a mutant!

If it is almost certain that Ryan Reynolds will return in the skin of Deadpool, nothing says that Disney wants to rehire the same actors of the saga X-Men. It is likely that the architect of the MCU wants to renew the cast so that it can last for several years and many films and series, which is also the reason why it seems likely that Patrick Stewart (82) was content a little hello to please the fans.

One role in particular catches the eye: who will play Wolverine? Hugh Jackman has made it clear that this role, which stuck with him, is now a thing of the past. Another actor who showed a big sign of interest was Taron Egerton: in an interview with the New York Times, the one who played the main roles in Kingsman and Rocketman confirmed to have spoken about it with Marvel Studios and with Kevin Feige.

It remains to be seen whether this activism and the actor’s fans will be enough to make him the new Wolverine.
