Matthew McConaughey Open To Marvel Or DC Role

It looks as though Matthew McConaughey wouldn’t mind suiting up in his own comic book movie… as he admits he’s open to playing a Marvel or DC role.

During an interview with Variety at the Cannes Film Festival, the 45-year-old actor revealed that he’s already circled various comic book movies… and he’s still open to playing a hero.

“I’ve read some Marvel and DC scripts and I’ve talked about working with them on some scripts, none of which I’ll share with you what they are — or were,” he said. “Yeah, I’ve circled some of those. Nothing has been right for me yet. But I’m sure open to it.”

“It’s very simple for me,” he added. “I look at the script. Is the opportunity exciting? Is the money that comes with it exciting? Sure. Is it the possibility of going, ‘Hey you can get on a train and it can be a franchise and you could do 3, 4, 5, and have a great time as some kind of superhero or anti-hero’.”

Of course, working for extended periods as part of a franchise is no passing commitment. And while the likes of Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr. make a living from those kinds of deals, it’s certainly not for everyone.

“I would also look at something like that and say, ‘Hey, in success that means you are on the train for a while’,” he added. “Contractually, you’re going to return to the character over and over. It’s something I asked myself is it something I’d want to return to. Would I be excited to go back and put the shoes on the character again? Going and doing the press tour with that group of people again? I always ask myself those questions again. It starts with the story and character.”

Thankfully, McConaughey still hasn’t ruled out starring in his own comic book movie.

But which Marvel or DC hero would he be perfect for?

I can’t help thinking he’d make a great Adam Warlock… and with a cocoon resembling Adam’s already showing up in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, perhaps that’s a role we might one day see him in.

But for now, we’ll have to wait and see.
