Similarly, Taron Egerton’s name has been linked to the human torch. He is allegedly in discussions with Marvel Studios.

Fans of Taron Egerton have been urging the actor to join the MCU for years, primarily requesting that he be given the chance to play Johnny Storm.
“He absolutely floats the arrogant, cocky, playboy vibes with his portrayals in Kingsman, Rocket-Man, and Robin Hood,” a fan on Twitter said. The role would follow Egerton’s career trajectory, with each role being a part of a bigger production than the last. Additionally, because of his existing fan base, having his name associated with the movie might draw a lot of fans to theatres.

During the filming of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Taron Egerton established himself. For his depiction of Elton John in Rocket Man, he went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Actor. Despite the stark differences between the two roles, they share a characteristic. They emphasize how he might make the ideal Johnny Storm.

Kingsman comes first. Fans of Johnny know him to be a bad guy and a little bit of a ladies’ man, and that is how he came across in the two films. Taron’s role as a party machine in Rocket Man demonstrated the actor’s capacity for reckless behavior when called upon.

Taron’s acting versatility was also evident in Rocket Man. Johnny will occasionally need to take himself seriously. even excessively angry. Egerton will shine brilliantly in those situations as the Human Torch.

Taron especially fits a significant age range, so Disney can certainly cast him as the Human Torch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It may take some time before any official casting information is made public because filming on Marvel’s First Family isn’t expected to begin until the fall of 2023.
