Matthew Vaughn says Wolverine should be played by a 'small little grizzly tough guy.'
Mathew Vaughn is known for directing films such as X-Men: First Class and Kingsman: The Secret Service, so he's naturally the right person to ask about Wolverine casting. There have been a lot of rumors about who will follow in Hugh Jackman's footsteps, and one big name on the list is Kingsman star Taron Egerton.
When Horowitz mentioned that Bob Hoskins' name was thrown around back in the day, Vaughn replied,"Right, that's what I would do. I don't know who it is, but I think Hugh has made it so iconic, that if you go into that, whoever is trying to do the Hugh version... buggered." He added of Egerton,"I think he would make an amazing, intelligent villain with depth."
"I don't think it would be wrong to say that," he said with a laugh during another interview with the New York Times."I'd be excited but I'd be apprehensive as well because Hugh is so associated with the role that I'd wonder if it'd be very difficult for someone else to do it." "I think that I love those films and I've got lots of friends who play roles in those films and they love it and they have a great time... I don't know," Egerton shared with a con crowd back in 2019."I think the Logan thing is really interesting. I'm slightly baffled by it; I've never felt like a Wolverine sort of guy."
