Jon Hamm has been in the industry for quite some time now and has dabbled in various genres in his career. However, he has yet to make his debut in a big-budget superhero film in the MCU or DCU. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor stated that he is in constant conversations with the heads at Marvel and DC for potential roles.

Although he passed on the role of Green Lantern back in the day, he is still hoping for a great role, especially in the Marvel universe. Hamm has even pitched himself for a couple of roles in the MCU. The Mad Men star said,

Yeah. And it’s not like they were saying, ‘We want you to be Iron Man.’ But there were a lot of conversations, and I’m still in those. I talk to the guys that run Marvel and DC. And I’m a comic book nerd. So, we’ll see. Even that part of the industry is changing. That was one I definitely didn’t want to do. But I’ve pitched myself for a couple parts of the Marvel universe.

On X, fans have already started to cast him in potential MCU roles that he will do a great job at. Many believe that he would be a great villain and a great fit for Mr. Sinister or Dr. Doom. Here are some of the reactions,

 

 

 

 

 

While fans want him as Mr. Sinister or Dr. Doom, Hamm is a versatile actor and would do a great job with any role he’s given. It remains to be seen whether Kevin Feige and his team hire Hamm for a significant role in the franchise.
