Jon Hamm, renowned for his role in Mad Men, is reportedly in talks with Marvel to potentially join the MCU. This follows previous attempts, including a now-scrapped role as Mister Sinister in Fox's New Mutants.
Hamm has actively pursued MCU roles, even pitching himself for parts based on comic book storylines he admires. He revealed he's discussed adapting one particular comic book with Marvel executives, suggesting his involvement. While the specific comic remains undisclosed, fan speculation runs rampant, with Doctor Doom being a popular choice, a role Hamm has previously expressed interest in.
The actor, known for his diverse roles and avoidance of typecasting, is currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity. His recent work in Fargo and The Morning Show keeps him relevant, making his potential MCU debut all the more anticipated. While he passed on Green Lantern, a villainous role, perhaps similar to Doctor Doom, appears a more fitting choice for Hamm, aligning with his career trajectory. However, the possibility of a Disney-produced Mister Sinister role also remains.
The future of this collaboration, and whether the chosen storyline makes it to the screen, is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, the prospect of Hamm joining the MCU excites fans and fuels ongoing speculation.
