Ryan Phillippe Reveals That He's In Talks For A Marvel/Netflix Series; Could He Be IRON FIST?
Damages star Ryan Phillippe was among those considered for the role of Captain America a number of years ago, but the actor has now revealed that he's in talks with Marvel for a role in one of their shows on Netflix? Iron Fist? The Punisher? Bullseye? Hit the jump for details...
According to Bleeding Cool, Ryan Phillippe appeared on the Howard Stern show this morning and revealed that he's in talks with Marvel to appear in one of their Netflix shows. Casting for A.K.A. Jessica Jones is more than likely finished with at this point and it seems a bit too early to start finding actors for season two of Daredevil, so could it be that he'll star as Iron Fist in Luke Cage?
There are a number of other possibilities of course, including characters like Bullseye and The Punisher, and there's absolutely nothing to say that he won't end up having only a very minor role. After all, he didn't say whether or not he's being eyed for a part anywhere near as big as Iron Fist.
We'll just have to wait and see, but now the word is out there, expect to hear something from the trades or Marvel fairly soon! Who do you guys think Phillippe would be well suited for in the Netflix corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? As always, be sure to share your thoughts below!
