Egerton, has previously co-starred with Jackman in 2016’s ‘Eddie the Eagle’ and as a member of the X-Men in 2017’s ‘Logan’.

He said, “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.”

‘Deadline’ noted that the British actor will appear next in Apple TV+ drama ‘Black Bird’, to debut on July 8.He plays an imprisoned drug dealer in the six-episode series adapted by Dennis Lehane from the prison memoir of James Keene.
