It seems everyone wants to work with Marvel Studios these days and we can no count The Dark Knight Trilogy's Gary Oldman among them! He was a huge part of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies but it's easy to imagine him now finding a new role to make his own in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The British actor is currently a fixture on the awards circuit for his stellar performance as Winston Churchill in The Finest Hours and it was on the red carpet of the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday that he would be open to receiving a call from Marvel...mainly because his son wants him to! "Marvel hasn’t called me. But now that you mentioned it, if they’re tuning in, my son wants me to!"

It's not unheard of for actors to jump between the DC and Marvel Universes; Laurence Fishburne appeared recently in the likes of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice as Perry White but will be seen as Dr. Bill Foster in Ant-Man and The Wasp later this year. We'll all just have to wait and see, of course, but there are many characters Oldman would be a good fit for moving forward.

@Batman1991 - Norman was dead in the comics for almost 25 years. I would hate if they brought him to another film.

Explore spidey villains, if you go to Norman every time you'll end up like Batman where the only villain you have is Joker, and when you don't have Joker everyone asks "Where's Joker?".

And we're so far past H.A.M.M.E.R. now that what's the point"

He’d make a great Green Goblin, he could portray both the insanity of the goblin and the intelligence of Osborne really well. Or maybe Carnage? He and Tom Hardy would be an awesome combo (again).

His Dracula was such an incredible performance. And I just watched Darkest Hour. The way he became Churchill was spooky. And that may have been my favourite movie of the year.

No, his SON wants him to... he didn't physically say he wanted to. ;)

@toylled - Another example of Josh's headlines NOT matching the content, someone from behind the scenes on this site, just the other day, claimed that this didn't happen. I asked him to go through Josh's articles because he was wrong.

I often wonder if these actors say some of these things because of pressure of being put on the spot (which they do often). Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, but, again, the headlines lied.

The Finest Hours is the boat in the storm movie. It’s the Darkest Hour he played Churchill in.

You probably got confused because their was another British WWII movie call Their Finest out last year.
