Taron Egerton Clarifies When His Marvel Studios Meeting Was Reveals About Another Character Not Wolverine

After literally years of fancasting him as Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ComicBook.com recently confirmed that Kingsman star Taron Egerton had indeed met with producers at Marvel. But, he clarified in a new interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, not for Wolverine. The meeting, which was a very general type of thing that many actors have with Kevin Feige, supposedly happened four years ago, before the idea of Egerton as Wolverine has taken  hold in quite the same way it has more recently. In fact, the actor says he mentioned a character during the meeting, but it was not Wolverine.
