The Rocketman star told The New York Times about his desire to pick up the baton from Jackman and play the character central to both the X-Men and Avengers franchises.
Egerton said: āI donāt think it would be wrong to say that. Iād be excited but Iād be apprehensive as well, because Hugh is so associated with the role that Iād wonder if itād be very difficult for someone else to do it.
āBut hopefully if it does come around, theyāll give me a shot
Egerton, who got his big break in Matthew Vaughnās Kingsman: The Secret Service in 2014, has previously co-starred with Jackman in 2016ās Eddie the Eagle and as a member of the X-Men in 2017ās Logan.
