Deadline recently caught up with Al Pacino to ask him more about why he chose to speak out and praise the latest movie from Marvel Studios, James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy. "It was not something I would readily go see, but my kids got me to go, and one has to draw the line at where prejudice starts and where it ends — that was good stuff!" the 74-year-old actor confessed after surprising many by sharing his thoughts on the movie during an appearance at the Venice Film Festival. "I recognized the ingenious stuff they were doing; the invention, the attractiveness of the way they were performing it. It had Shakespearian feeling to it at times. I was caught up in the big screen, the great sound…" As for whether or not Pacino would be interested in starring in either Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or another Marvel Studios movie, the actor remained vague, but is clearly interested! You have to imagine the recent headlines have put him on Kevin Feige's radar, while Gunn has already responded to his comments, so it could happen! "I would do anything that I could understand in terms of how I fit in it. And you know, of course if I could fit in it. Anything’s possible. You know, I did Dick Tracy and I got an Oscar nomination, so come on. I mean, what can I say?" What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts below!

I mean, he did do Jack & Jill (ugh), so of course he's down for this. It seems like he has a little comeback in him with THE HUMBLING and MANGLEHORN slated for 2015.

who could he play...

Only way dc can rival this news is if Deniro insisted to be in a DC movie

While I'd love to see Pacino in one of these, I think he'd be way too distracting. Way too big of a name that's been concreted in films for years.

Or if the Rock was cast as Black Adam, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

You're right Groot, Pacino would've made a great Dr.Strange in his younger years.

That would be so friggin cool if they could get him in the MCU somewhere. Even if it's something really small.

Yes please! Put him in the next Marvel film! The Devil's Advocate, just to name one of his vintage, brilliant performances makes him a great fit for Dr. Strange. How psychedelic would it be for him to be part of that world?!? Please...while he can still walk!

I'd like to see him in a comic book movie. Don't care if it is DC or Marvel.
