Huge Jackman, who portrayed the role of famous character wolverine for a series of nine films, ended his character in the 2017 film Logan. Since then, the question has been taking rounds: who’s gonna be the new wolverine? Hugh Jackman has definitely set a high bar for the character by his stunning performance, and it’s very hard to find out who’s gonna do justice to the role now.
Who’s going to be the new wolverine?
There have been many speculations about the new wolverine, Targon Edgerton, which is one of them. The actor is currently working on the project kingsman 3. The actor is also very much close to Huge Jackman in real life. He has worked with Jackman in the movie Eddie, the eagle as his protege. Fans were wondering whether they will get to see him as his protege in real life too!!
Targon’s statement on the rumors:
On being asked himself about this, he neither confirmed nor denied the statement. The actor said that his many friends have been on the series, and they really enjoyed portraying the role. He himself is a big fan and would love to be a part of it.
However, he feels that he is not suitable for the character of Wolverine. Though he said that the character would take time to return back as he had himself asked the director of the x -men franchise who is his good friend, he believes that maybe he will become rough enough after some years to look like wolverine and continue the legacy. He thinks that the character Logan is very interesting and would love to be Logan.
Taking about his current project, he did not spill any details about kingsman 3. He said that he has a special attachment to these kinds of characters as he started his career by them only. So he’s very fond of them and is very happy to be in the movie. He wants to finish the trilogy in a good way and would like to finish the story as he has loved his character in the movie.
