AI Crafts Stunning 1950s X-Men Movie Trailer

Besides Storm, Beast, and Colossus, there’s a lot of attention on the living lethal weapon, Wolverine. Interestingly, there’s a brief moment where he bears an uncanny resemblance to Jamie Bell, a former member of the “Fantastic Four” team. Coincidentally, besides starring in what’s considered one of the worst superhero movies ever made, Bell later joined top pick for the next Wolverine, Taron Egerton, in the Elton John biopic “Rocketman.”

As rumors began to circulate about Egerton potentially being the MCU’s new Wolverine, Bell shared his thoughts in a 2019 interview with Variety. When asked if he thought Egerton would make a good Wolverine, he jokingly responded, “Why not? I mean, he can play Elton John, why not? It’s a natural next step, isn’t it… I’m sure he would love to. Taron’s great. Here’s the thing, working with Taron, I’m not entirely sure what he can’t do. So I’m sure he could probably do that. Another string to his bow, as it were.”

As things stand, Egerton might still be a favorite, but Bell could just as easily surprise everyone by joining the Weapon X program. Following his turn as The Thing—a role now set to be taken by “The Bear’s” Ebon Moss-Bachrach—playing Wolverine could potentially mark a comic book movie comeback for Bell.
