If the fact that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's global success has proved anything, it's that (most) wrestlers can indeed act. One such example of those that can is Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, a reality star turned pro wrestler with more than a few acting credits to his name. Like most actors, he's a fan of Marvel and DC movies, and in a recent interview with Uproxx, he revealed who he wants to play.
Of course, with so many of the big roles taken, it's not easy to find a vacancy in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or even the newer DC Films Universe. However, after expressing a longtime desire to take on the role of Deadpool, The Miz came up with a perfect casting suggestion for himself; Booster Gold.
"My dream project? I mean, I think anyone’s dream project right now is how amazing the Marvel/DC comic book era is really coming together and really blowing up the scene. Anytime you have a movie, it’s breaking records, it’s doing great things, so obviously I’d want a Marvel character.
Obviously, Deadpool is already taken and Ryan Reynolds did an absolutely fantastic job. That was always my dream role ever since I saw the video game seven years ago, I was like “Oh my god, I want to play this guy!” But, Ryan Reynolds took it and knocked it out of the park and did an absolutely incredible job, so I can’t fault him at all. But I think anyone would want to do Marvel or DC, maybe WWE can combine with them and do something, but you never know.
I mean a lot of the main ones are kind of taken. I’ve always wanted to play Booster Gold."
If you're at all familiar with The Miz's work, you'll know that he would be a great fit for that role. Unfortunately, while we have previously heard that Booster Gold would be getting his own movie, there's been no movement on that front for quite some time. With any luck, that will change soon, but for now, be sure to head to the comments section below to let us know your thoughts on this news!
