Timothy Olyphant Still Waiting To Hear Back From Marvel After Auditioning For This Huge Role

Timothy Olyphant Still Waiting To Hear Back From Marvel After Auditioning For This Huge Role

Justified came to an end last night, leaving a huge hole in Timothy Olyphant's schedule. Does this mean that we'll finally get to see the actor in a comic book movie? Well, he auditioned for one key Marvel role, but has been waiting to hear back from them for a while. Read on for details...

Sorry to get your hopes up, but as you can see from the video above, the Justified star is jokingly referring to his failed Iron Man audition a number of years ago (which actually took place on the same day as Robert Downey Jr.'s). It's interesting to wonder "What If?" when it comes to the possibility of Timothy Olyphant playing Iron Man, but with any luck, he'll land a big Marvel or DC Comics role at some point in the very near future. Who would you guys most like to see him as?

He's a very good actor. Hopefully either Marvel or WB pick him up for a role.

He'd make a good Harvey Dent.

I'm not into fan casting but I wouldn't mind him playing Warlock.

Desrow would have a heart attack if he joined the MCU.

^^^ Punisher would be pretty perfect for him.

It is most likely Adam Warlock. That is the next huge piece to the Infinity War puzzle.

He should definitely be in a cbm. I thought he would make a good Lex.

@Pasto

Don't get all butt hurt at me cause your favourite transvestite/subject of stalking isn't coming back for True Detective's second season.

In fact, I heard the reason why is that they blew their budget on the whole ILM team so that they could remove 'her' penis.

DeusExSponge - 4/15/2015, 9:27 AM
So who could he play now? I'm drawing a blank right now and it's driving me insane!

Olyphant could be a good option for the "new" Hal Jordan. Way way better than Ryan Reynolds and Chris Pine.

He would be a great person to play Hush

He's Jesse Custer. Preacher needs him in the lead role. Please?

Feel like he would've been a stiff tony Stark… but I could see him as Franky Castle.
FearTheLiving
FearTheLiving - 4/15/2015, 9:41 AM
Wouldn't mind seeing him as Moon Knight or Punisher.

He's a cool dude,good actor. He should be given a CBM role.
He could be the "white"/ original Nick Fury.
Looks like the hair around his temples are graying naturally it seems.
Add eyepatch &...wait for Samuel L. Jackson to retire.
