Logan was released in 2017, the last solo film focused on the mutant Wolverine (Wolverine, if you prefer) and starred the great Hugh Jackman, who thus closed an arc of nine films along which he gave his best to play the character.
To replace him seems like a real mission impossible, although now that five years have gone by and the rights have passed to Disney, it looks like we are beginning to see some movements pointing in the direction that we could be looking for an actor to give life to a new version of Wolverine.
We are talking, of course, about the meeting held by Taron Egerton with company executives and Kevin Feige, which has publicly transcended, sparking speculation and making him himself a little overwhelmed at the prospect of getting the role at this key moment, which could coexist with many other Marvel characters.
Indeed, the versatile Welsh actor has already shown just how good he is at playing comic book roles, since his worldwide film debut was as Eggsy, the lead character in The Kingsman, a film based on a comic book of the same name written by Mark Millar.
