Zac Efron responds to rumors of his possible incorporation into the UCM into the skin of a new Wolverine

After the storm of commentary he has faced following a sensational physical change, it seems that Zac Efron is finally moving on. Fans reacted with surprise on the Internet to find that the actor’s jaw had changed dramatically, which has raised talk of a possible cosmetic surgery. Such was the attention that Efron had to make it clear that everything was out of necessity. “This is bullshit. I almost died but I’m fine”he said explaining that he had been in a serious accident.

Eventually, on Jimmy Fallon’s nighttime talk show, this artist left the raves behind for his new look only to step into another garden. And it is precisely that the presenter wanted to ask him why the rumors of an online casting looking for someone “like Zac Efron”.. The “High School Musical” star, who was unaware of her voice, laughs: “You could just call me!”. After all, who looks more like Zac Efron than the actor himself?

It is not the first time that rumors have linked the name of Zac Efron to a Marvel project: at the time he was considered Adam Warlock, but eventually the role went to Will Poulter. That opportunity didn’t materialize and has since been linked to a possible recast of Hugh Jackman’s character, Wolverine.

However, that possibility would be more remote as this September 27 Jackman, at the hands of Ryan Reynolds, confirmed that he would be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor announced on Twitter that he would be reincarnating his legendary character in the third installment of Deadpool. Also, this wouldn’t be the only mutant foray we’ll see soon in the UCM because, on the other hand, Marvel Studios confirm in the series finale ‘Ms. Marvel ‘, which has already taken the step to introduce others mutants to the MCUwhich seems to indicate that the X-Men wouldn’t be far behind.

Efron is new

Zac Efron’s reaction to rumors pointing to his possible incorporation into the MCU in Wolverine’s skin stems from his time on the aforementioned American program, a television appearance that took the opportunity to promote his new film, ‘I’ll Take Care of the Beer’, directed by Peter Farrelly, a film in which he shares the screen with Bill Murray and Russell Crowe.

The film tells a story based on real events in which Efron plays Chickie Donohue who, feeling guilty about being home while her friends were fighting in the Vietnam War, goes to the front lines to get them a beer. to each as a thank you.

* “I’ll Handle the Beer” is available on Apple TV from 30 September.
