Jon Hamm expressed his keenness to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe during a recent interview with Screen Rant. The actor, known for being a comic book fan, expressed his interest in being a part of future X-Men and Fantastic Four projects within the Marvel Studios realm.<\/p>\n
While Hamm admitted that these decisions are made at a level beyond his control, he enthusiastically conveyed his desire to be involved: \u201cI would love to. I\u2019ve been a fan of Marvel Comics and comics in general since I was probably single digits. I think there are tons of stories that I\u2019m familiar with, at least, that are still out there to be told.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamm had previously come close to portraying the villainous Mister Sinister in a now-scrapped sequel to The New Mutants before Disney\u2019s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019. With the X-Men now under the MCU banner, Hamm is hopeful for new opportunities and roles.<\/p>\n
Expressing his optimism, Hamm mentioned his aspirations for potential roles in the MCU\u2019s X-Men or even as Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four: \u201cHopefully, whatever their plans are, they include me. But if not, I know that they have a pretty deep bench of folks that are ready to be a part of those stories. There are certainly a lot of stories in the X-Men world to be told. Fantastic Four as well, [like] Doctor Doom. There are so many great things out there. But yeah, I hope I get a chance. Who knows?\u201d<\/p>\n
Marvel has hinted at the eventual integration of the X-Men into the MCU, building anticipation among fans. Meanwhile, Matt Shakman is spearheading the development of the much-anticipated Fantastic Four film. Despite the online rumors circulating about potential casting choices, Shakman emphasized during a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter that official announcements would follow after the actors\u2019 strike concluded.<\/p>\n
Following Shakman\u2019s statement, rumors emerged suggesting Pedro Pascal\u2019s potential involvement as Dr. Reed Richards\/Mister Fantastic in the feature. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding this casting at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
