Not only did Mark Millar model his version of Nick Fury after Samuel L Jackson (prior to Mark Millar’s Ultimate Comics, Nick Fury had been white for decades), a page in his comic book also name-dropped future Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. Millar cheekily responded to the tweet by making another prediction: Taron Egerton as the next Wolverine!
— Millarworld (@mrmarkmillar) July 15, 2019 Do keep in mind that none of this is official news. Millar is simply having fun on the internet. As far as we know, Taran Egerton (Kingsman) has not been approached by Marvel to play the titular character. In an interview earlier this month, Egerton was asked about rumours circulating the interwebs concerning his casting as Wolverine. To which Egerton said: I’m with Mark Millar and the rest of the internet on this one. I think Taron Egerton would make a fantastic Wolverine, one that is vastly different from Hugh Jackman’s version.
