Hollywood star Jon Hamm is gung-ho to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe▨ (MCU) but said that those decisions get made at such a “high level at this point, definitely above his pay grade.”
🍒Asked recently by Screen Rant about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the star replied: “Those decisions get made at such a high level at this point, definitely above my pay grade. I would love to. I’ve been a fan of Marvel Comics and comics in general since I was probably single digits.”
ღ“I think there are tons of stories that I’m familiar with, at least, that are still out there to be told.”
ꦅHamm specifically called out The X-Men and The Fantastic Four as properties that still have a lot of tread on their tires. In terms of characters, he namechecked F4 villain Doctor Doom, reports deadline.com.
🌠“Hopefully, whatever their plans are, they include me. But if not,” he continued: “I know that they have a pretty deep bench of folks that are ready to be a part of those stories.”
🍰Hamm and producer Shawn Ryan are teaming on a live-action television series adaptation of the podcast American Hostage, with Hamm set to reprise his role from the audio series.
♔The actor will also star in and executive produce the animated detective story Grimsburg for Fox.
