In a recent interview with The New York Times, Edgerton confirmed that he discussed the possibility of joining the MCU with Kevin Feige and other studio executives. He said he’d be “excited” but “apprehensive”, as well, because Jackman is so associated with the role that it would be “very difficult for someone else to do it.”

Despite his reservations, the British actor would happily step into Jackman’s shoes, but his casting as Wolverine is far from being confirmed. No official MCU project involving Wolverine has been approved, but Edgerton is hoping “they’ll give [him] a shot” if it ever comes around.

Taron Egerton rose to prominence with the role of Eggsy in the spy Kingsman: The Secret Service and its sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Before winning a Golden Globe for playing Elton John in the musical Rocketman, he joined forces with its director Dexter Fletcher for the sports biopic Eddie the Eagle, which just happened to star Hugh Jackman.

Timberlake’s name came up because he did an amazing job embodying John’s spirit in the music video “This Train Don’t Stop There Anymore”. He rocked a series of flamboyant outfits, looking just like the younger version of the fellow singer, but it wasn’t enough to win the role.

John’s husband and Rocketman producer David Furnish discussed Timberlake’s involvement with The Hollywood Reporter but admitted there was never a formal offer on the table.

“We never formerly approached Justin because we weren’t ever at a stage where it was the right time to approach him. But he did an amazing job in the video. He put on a prosthetic nose, and it turned out to have been some really interesting acting work as well,” said Furnish.

Rocketman had its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival, and it’s opening in theaters on May 31st. In addition to Egerton, it also stars Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard.

This sequel is not to be confused with Kingsman: The Great Game, that’s introducing us to a slate of brand-new characters and taking us decades into the past. Kingsman 3 will stick to the established storyline, and bring the story of our favorite two characters to a close.

Matthew Vaughn discussed the future of the franchise with Digital Spy and said he’s hoping to get Colin Firth and Taron Egerton on board so they could start working on this project sooner than later.

“We’ve got to finish off the Eggsy and Harry relationship. The final chapter of their relationship needs to be told, which we’ve got ready to do, and I’m hoping to shoot that later this year or the beginning of next year,” said Vaughn.

Multiple outlets confirm that Rocketman’s world premiere has been set for May 16. 

“We are incredibly honoured and excited to premiere our movie Rocketman at the Cannes film festival on May 16th. This has been a labour of love for all of us and we couldn’t dream of a better launching pad for this very special film,” said producers Rocket Pictures and Marv Films in a statement.

The film stars Taron Egerton as the musical icon. It is directed by Dexter Fletcher, who took the reins on the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody after director Bryan Singer was fired.

The film is about the fantastical human story of John’s breakthrough years. It follows John’s early days as a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music up to his eventual musical partnership with Bernie Taupin. The film is titled after John’s 1972 song “Rocket Man”.It also stars Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, and Bryce Dallas Howard.

A domestic release has been slated for May 31.

According to the 28-year-old, Eggsy isn’t in director Matthew Vaughn’s plans for the sequel but we still could see the character returning at some point.

“I don’t know how hot off the press this is, and I think I’m allowed to say it, but I’m not in the next Kingsman movie.” – Egerton told Yahoo during the promotion of his latest movie Robin Hood. “That doesn’t mean I won’t be in Kingsman ever again. I was with Matthew [Vaughn] as little as a few days ago, we’re still very much in business together, but his next journey in that world doesn’t involve me… His idea for the new one is incredibly exciting. I’m sad that I won’t be on that journey with him, but it’s not the last you’ve seen of Eggsy.”

While Kingsman 3 supposed to start with filming in January 2019 and is scheduled for November 8, 2019, the details of the movie’s story are still being kept under wraps. According to some reports, the film might be a prequel set in the early 20th century with Ralph Fiennes playing the lead role.

Not being part of Kingsman 3 won’t leave Taron Egerton jobless, since the young actor has several projects lined ahead of him. One of the most prominent ones is starring as superstar musician Elton John in the upcoming biopic Rocketman. Egerton will also be part of the voice cast for animated fantasy series Moominvalley, which is based in Tove Jansson’s Moomin books.

The first official photo from the upcoming Elton John biopic titled Rocketman has dropped and it even got John himself all excited. 

The image is of Taron Egerton in character as the pop icon. We’re talking about a complete transformation with Egerton clad in a gold lamé jacket paired with glittery sunglasses and winged boots while lounging on a couch inside a private plane. John himself took to social media, sharing the image on Instagram and writing, “Words cannot describe how proud and excited I am. Hold on to your glasses, this is going to be a wild ride!”

The feature is described by the studio as an “uncensored human story”. The “epic musical fantasy” will retell the musical icon’s early years. 

Also starring in the Dexter Fletcher helmed biopic are Jamie Bell, Richard Madden, Gemma Jones, and Bryce Dallas Howard.
