Matthew McConaughey Expresses Interest In Starring In A STAR WARS Movie
After starring in one of the greatest sci-fi movie of all-time with Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, would True Detective's Matthew McConaughey be interested in appearing in a future Star Wars? Hit the jump to find out what the actor had to say about just that...
In a recent interview with IGN, Matthew McConaughey (who has already expressed interest in a superhero movie role) revealed that Star Wars is something he would definitely consider under the right conditions. "Sure – there’s not anything that I’m not open to embracing. I want it to be a quality script, I want a quality character. I want to be a little scared of it. I want to have new challenges. I want to do something… find in a character where I can get to a point where I feel like nobody could be doing this but me. I’m going to have an original experience… an original take. That takes work to get to that point, but whatever the genre I’m wide open." He then went on to reveal his love of Wookies, leading him to reflect on another of his favourite movies. "King Kong is one of my favourite love stories. I’ve got an affection for the mammalian in all of us. I’m simple – I’ve always got a soft spot for the furry creatures." McConaughey would undoubtedly make an amazing addition to any future Star Wars movie, but whether or not he'll end starring in one remains to be seen! What do you guys think?
