Mark Hamill Wants A Role In GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 And James Gunn Is Interested

Mark Hamill seemingly said farewell to the Star Wars franchise with The Last Jedi last year but he's now campaigning for a role in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and James Gunn wants to talk to him...

Mark Hamill is a sci-fi icon but could his next destination be the Marvel Cinematic Universe rather than a Galaxy Far, Far Away? Yesterday evening, a fan reached out to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn to ask him to include the Star Wars: The Last Jedi actor in the upcoming threequel to which the filmmaker said he would be open to meeting with the actor to discuss some sort of role.

Hamill spotted that conversation and quickly replied saying that he, "would be happy to do so, both as a good 
neighbor & an unemployed actor." Things proceeded to get more interesting from there, though, as the two started talking about discussing things further on Twitter via Direct Message! 



So, there you have it! There's nothing to say anything will come of this but Gunn could easily find a cameo or voice role for Hamill (a lead part would arguably be even better). We'll have to wait and see how things pan out as it will probably be a while before we start hearing anything definite about casting for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 but nabbing Hamill would be a huge win for the MCU.

@ChangAlang - Not really my idea, a few months ago, I remember hearing something about Mark Hamil liking a tweet about someone wanting him to play Doc Oct

@dracula - He's a bit old for that I think. He won't be able to do much physical stuff.

@dracula - I don't know, he'd be good, but if we get Doc Ock I want the marriage to Aunt May storyline and I don't know if it would work with that casting

@Boyle360 - He wouldnt have to do that much physical stuff in the movie if they do the Master Planner Arc, it would mainly be near the end

@noahthegrand - I was thinking they could do the Master Planner arc, with that Mark wouldnt have to do too much physical work, mainly near the end

James Gunn will do a much better job with Mark than Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy.

Hahaha... So it IS who you know.

I’m not a fan of Twitter but not a bad way to score potential employment.

If only the MCU and Star Wars weren’t owned by the same company, it would be hilarious to see Mark Hamill throw a little jab at The Last Jedi the same way Deadpool did with Green Lantern and Justice League.

Dont suppose he could be an elder of the universe, like the grandmaster.
