Star Wars Actor Adam Driver Rumored to Join the MCU

There is no doubt that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is currently the number one movie franchise thanks to the large success of its films and TV shows. The franchise has also attracted some of the best actors in the world like Anthony Hopkins, Robert Redford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ben Kingsley, Cate Blanchett, and many more. It has also turned some of its actors to become big movie stars like Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, the late Chadwick Boseman, among others. In other words, there are a lot of talents that have joined the franchise and it looks like they are recruiting yet again another award-winning actor.

Giant Freakin Robot has reported that Oscar-nominated actor and Star Wars vet Adam Driver is in talks to join the MCU. However, they didn't provide details regarding the potential project or role that he might take in. We do have to take note that this didn't come for the major trades nor confirmed by Marvel Studios so we have to take this with a grain of salt for now.

If the House of Gucci star is indeed going to join the MCU, what kind of role he might play? Given that he is known for playing Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, one can assume that he might also be playing a villain in the MCU and there are a lot of potential characters that he can play whether it's Doctor Doom (as the report suggested) or someone like the Silver Surfer. Either way, we can bet that the actor will be cast as an iconic character in the comics if the rumor is indeed true.

Nevertheless, it is just exciting that a wonderful actor like Driver might be joining the MCU. Besides the Star Wars sequel trilogy, he is also known for his Oscar-nominated roles in BlacKkKlansman and Marriage Story as well as in other films such as The Last Duel, The Report, Paterson, Silence, Lincoln, and Logan Lucky. He also starred in the HBO series Girls and has hosted three episodes of Saturday Night Live.
