Matthew McConaughey Expresses Interest In Starring In A Comic Book Movie

Matthew McConaughey was recently among those said to be in the running for Doctor Strange, but it now appears as if Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has landed that coveted role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As for whether or not the Interstellar actor and Dallas Buyers Club Academy Award winner is interested in a comic book movie, here's what he told IGN Movies


"It's not an area that I'm saying I wouldn't like to go. I don't know, it would have to be a script and a character that I found interesting and one where I can have a personal experience. I'm not thinking about a genre like, 'Oh, I really want to do this or I wouldn't want to do that'. If something finds me at the right time, turns me on, and if I can grab a hold of it, see it from the inside and get a feeling that, 'Oh, I've got a way I can do this that can be original.'"

My man!He is perfect for Black bolt or Namor(he can take his shirt off), hell of an actor. He, Michael Fassbender and Tom "[frick]ing" Hardy are the best actors right now, deal with it... Alright, Alright, Alright.

The report said he JUST started negotiations. He hasn't landed the role yet, despite how much i want him too.

With tdk trilogy and Marvel proving great CBM films can be made full of character development and worth while storytelling, Hollywood heavyweights can see the promise in joining in. Marvel is signing over a listers left and right. I could see him as Adam Warlock maybe

The quote literally never said he was interested. He just said he would if it came up kind of maybe a little bit with his own take somewhat.

Would love to see him play Captain Mar-Vell in an arc that spans GOTG 2 to Infinity War 1 where he sacrifices himself and transfers his powers to Carol. Then he could appear in Captain Marvel as a "ghost Obi-Wan Kenobi" type.
