Jon Hamm is hoping to get the chance to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Hamm was asked about the likelihood of him showing up in a Marvel movie now that the X-Men are gradually being introduced into the MCU. For years, Hamm has been rumored to be up for the role of Mister Sinister, an iconic X-Men villain created by Chris Claremont.
“I don’t know,” Hamm said. “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. I think there are tons of stories that I’m familiar with, at least, that are still out there to be told.”
He continued, “Hopefully, whatever their plans are, they include me. But if not, I know that they have a pretty deep bench of folks that are ready to be a part of those stories. There are certainly a lot of stories in the X-Men world to be told. Fantastic Four as well, [like] Doctor Doom. There are so many great things out there. But yeah, I hope I get a chance. Who knows?”
