Nowadays, as soon as an actor hits the big time, the first question that follows is: Which character should they play in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? However, the MCU legion might be disappointed with Glen Powell’s answer: He told The Hollywood Reporter that he isn’t interested in joining forces with the Avengers anytime soon. This may come as a surprise to those who know that Powell auditioned for the part of Captain America before it went to Chris Evans, but he’s in a very different place now.
Discussing his career choices with the Hollywood trade, Powell mentioned how he has become picky over his roles and has learned not to accept anything and everything that comes his way, regardless of how big the property may be. For instance, he has turned down parts in the “Bourne” and “Jurassic Park” franchises. That being said, there is one superhero role that could tickle Powell’s fancy and implore him to step into a cape and cowl at some point: Batman.
“I would have a wild take on Batman,” he told GQ UK as he discussed his love for the Dark Knight. “It definitely would not be like a Matt Reeves tone — it’d probably be closer to Keaton.” What you may not know is that Powell has already been in a Batman movie. “I get my head smashed in by Bane in ‘The Dark Knight Rises,'” he said, clearly proud of his small role in Christopher Nolan’s classic.
