Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn wants to reboot ‘Wolverine’ with Taron Egerton as the lead

Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn said if he had to recast Wolverine Taron Egerton would be his first choice.

Speaking to ComicBook.com, Mr Vaughn said: "Well, he's got older now, but I would say Tom Hardy would have been awesome.

"I think Taron [Egerton] could do it in his sleep. Aaron Taylor-Johnson could do it as well."

He added: "I mean, I think Aaron or Taron would be my first two choices [who] could do it really well."

Earlier this year, Marvel studio's president Kevin Feige confirmed that there were no imminent plans to cast the new Logan.
