Despite it's critical failure and disappointing box office numbers so far, theres no guarantee a sequel to Martin Campbell's
Green Lantern film will ever see the light of day. With
that, 'Amanda Waller' actress Angela Bassett hopes to expand her role in future DC-installments, a la Samuel L. Jackson's 'Nick Fury' in Marvel's Cinematic Universe, like in the comics.
“I didn't want to just come out and ask [the studio] that, but maybe I should have – I certainly hope so,” Bassett tells PopcornBiz. “It wasn't set up that way,” she admits. “Hopefully somebody as brilliant as you that's got their thinking cap on.”
When the interviewer asked about her character's heavy weight in the comics, the actress explained:
“You're the first one who has said that,” she laughs. “But it's true and we thought about it, but they didn't really want to go that way. And I'm glad!” She said playing the Full Wall would’ve been the reverse of finding her pumped up physique as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do With It, but “it would have been easier.”
The interviewer then asked about the experience and essentially why she'd love to return for the role.
“It's just so different from anything that I've done before,” she says of the character she hopes to revisit, “so it's great to just be a part of this really unique and larger-than-life world.”
While Warner Bros. have no intention of creating a shared universe with solo DC cinematic Adaptations, at least for now, how cool would it be to see Amanda Waller in Zack Snyder's
Man Of Steel? Anyhow, If she truly admires the shared universe, I suggest Angela hop over to Marvel's successful cinematic universe, but who could she portray?
