  • Taron Egerton has ideas for Kingsman 3

    By Express News Service

    Actor Taron Egerton is set to return in his much-talked-about role Eggsy in the forthcoming chapter of the Kingsman film series Kingsman: The Blue Blood. Ahead of the film’s pre-production, the actor disclosed that he has his own idea that he is looking to pitch to director Matthew Vaughn.  

    In a conversation with Collider, the actor said that he is keen to revisit the character of Eggsy and had his own concept about navigating the plot, “I have an idea for Kingsman. I have my own idea that I would like to pitch to Matthew, and I think that will be happening soon, but he has the wheels in motion on a big idea of his own. So who knows, you know? Who knows where it will land?” the actor said. 

    The actor also mentioned he would love to see the return of Harry, a role played by Colin Firth, “Eggsy is the role that made my name, so I suppose, in a way, I just want it to be absolutely right if we do it again, and I want the story to do justice to the part that really changed my life, and I would, obviously, really hope that Colin (Firth) would come back for at least a part of it.

    Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the Kingsman film series is based on the comic book series of the same name created by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons. The film follows the missions of Kingsman, a fictional secret service organization formed during World War I to protect the United Kingdom—and the world—from global threats.

  • Taron Egerton in talks with Marvel Studios to play ‘Wolverine’

    By Express News Service

    Taron Egerton is in talks with Kevin Feige and other Marvel Studio heads about stepping into the shoes of Hugh Jackman and playing Wolverine.

    The actor, who was recently seen in Rocketman, told The New York Times about his desire to pick up the character.

    He said, “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. But hopefully, if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot.”

    LOS ANGELES: “Rocketman” star Taron Egerton has revealed that he has met Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and other executives to discuss the possibility of starring in the role of Wolverine, a fan-favourite character previously essayed by Hugh Jackman.

    In an interview with The New York Times, Egerton said if given an opportunity he would be more than happy to pick up the baton from Jackman and play the character central to the “X-Men” and “Avengers” franchises.

    “I don’t think it would be wrong to say that. 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. But hopefully, if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot,” the actor said.

    Jackman played James “Logan” Howlett/ Wolverine in seven “X-Men” movies between 2000 and 2017.

    Egerton will next be seen in the Apple TV+ drama “Black Bird”.

    By PTI

    LOS ANGELES: “Kingsman” star Taron Egerton collapsed on stage during the maiden performance of his new play, “Cock” at Ambassadors Theatre in London.

    The 32-year-old actor was in the middle of his performance alongside Jonathan Bailey when he fainted.

    According to Deadline, a doctor from the crowd rushed to the stage to help Egerton.

    After a 40-minute break, the play’s director, Marianne Elliott, came on stage to assure the audience that the actor was “absolutely fine”.

    However, Egerton was unable to continue the performance, and understudy Joel Harper-Jackson stepped in for the final section of the play.

    The actor later posted a health update on his Instagram Story.

    “As some of you may have heard, I passed out during the first performance of cock last night. I am completely fine. Slightly sore neck and a bruised ego but I’m fine,” he wrote.

    Thanking Harper-Jackson for stepping in, Egerton assured fans that he will be back with a “vengeance”. The play is scheduled for a 12-week run.

    “Cock” also features actors Phil Daniels and Jade Anouka. Written by Mike Bartlett, the play is about a man who begins to question his sexuality after falling in love with a woman he meets on his commute.
