Bryan Cranston Wants To Play A "Nasty" Marvel Villain

Rumors, fan suggestions, and missed opportunities have linked Bryan Cranston to quite a few comic book movie roles, from X-Men: First Class's Sebastian Shaw to Batman v Superman's Lex Luthor. And though it would seem that the Breaking Bad star doesn't have much interest in joining the ever-expanding superhero bandwagon, the actor recently declared otherwise... to a certain extent.

"You know what I'd like to do? I'd like to do some big superhero villain in some Marvel classic," Bryan Cranston told Metro at the London Film Festival premiere of his new movie Trumbo. However, the Godzilla actor then implies that he's not interested in playing a long-established bad guy. "Create one from scratch… I don’t know what I would do but it would be nasty," he added.

With so many Marvel movies in the works, there are numerous roles that Cranston could tackle. There's Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, as well as the Spider-Man reboot, for which Cranston has persistently been fan-cast as Norman Osborne. However, given the actor's conditions of the villain being "nasty" and original or unknown, he just might fancy one of the Netflix shows if not one of Fox's upcoming Marvel entries including Gambit and Wolverine 3 as well as the inevitable Deadpool and X-Men sequels. What do YOU think?

If he really wants to play something nasty then he needs to pick up my mixtape.

Why would anyone want to play a Marvel movie villain? Only good ones are Loki and Stane.

Now if he wants to do a Marvel villain for Netflix, completely different story. Those villains are awesome.

Cranston is 59 years old.

He will not be Norman Osborn. Not that he's a bad pick but you gotta think about the future.

Honestly if anyone should be Norman Osborn, it's Christian Bale.

Winter Solider isn't a villain. He's a brainwashed soldier who wasn't in control of his acts.

Red Skull was pretty generic.

Abomination was good but not great.

You have to realize, Cranston is 59 years old. You really think he would be able to do all the stuff required to be Green Goblin? You would basically only have him in scenes where you see close up to extreme close up shots of him as the Green Goblin.

No one Crantson would be able to move fluently or do stuff as the Goblin unless they go CGI Hulk Ultimate Goblin.

Norman Osborn would be cool, also think he would make for a good the Leader,

I gotta admit that the age thing might be a problem, especially since I'd prefer at least one Spidey movie done before even introducing him.

But, tbh, I'm not so hyped on seeing the whole Goblin thing yet again, so maybe just put him in a suit instead of the costume.

I'm totally cool with him playing Norman Osborn, Red Skull, The Vulture, Mephisto, the actual Mandarin, etc.

Bryan Cranston in the MCU would be amazing. Connect Breaking Bad into the MCU and have Thanos resurrect Walter with the Infinity Gauntlet.

Stane, Loki, Kingpin, James Wesley, Grant Ward, Whitehall, Garrett, Killian, Alexander Pierce, all good to great villains.
