I said "ugh" out loud when I read this. Go away Marvel.

If it's true, no one is twisting his arm. It's almost required for a top actor to have a comic book franchise role, and he doesn't have one. He was killed off in his Star Wars franchise, he's not coming back in that.

I just want to see how method he goes for Reed Richards, lmao

[a_files06]

Pretty sure having a Star Wars franchise under your belt is just as good. Just depends on how easy of income he wants

[aristobrit]

Totally. Star Wars put him on the map, but his character is dead. He's not going to be in any of the sequels or spinoffs, that's over.

Look at the Avengers/Marvel bunch, they do a zillion crossovers and keep coming back all over the place. Spiderman has been in Avengers End Game, Civil War, Infinity War, Venom, and he could be in a Dr Strange or Kraven movie if they wanted to put him in it because they're in a shared universe.

I'm just saying a new comic book gig is a good idea if he wants the paycheck and the visibility. His last five films haven't exactly set the world on fire.

he said this 2 years ago:

Adam Driver never wants to do Comic-Con again: ‘It was scary’

being a marvel lead is so much silly promo stuff i really can't see him enjoying

[erin805]

Maybe he’s doing it for the money? Aren’t he and his wife expecting another kid soon?

[automaticpeople]

I know kids cost a lot, not surely he’s doing well enough without this?

[erin805]

I would think so too, but I know living in NYC is ridiculously expensive, it’s the only reason I can think of that he’d want to do a popcorn movie like this with all that it entails like you said soooo much press

We could have had Dev Patel. I'm sad.

[awakejupiter]

Dev was in consideration? What a shame he missed out :( He's such a great actor.

[asnindie]

The actors Marvel was allegedly chasing were Penn Badgley, Adam Driver, Ryan Gosling (idk if this was bull), John David Washington, Dev Patel and Tom Ellis.

[benihime99]

Dev is too good for this but Tom fits the role perfectly

[laceandskin]

Marvel just needs to stop, we need a break urgently.
