Then again, Dastmalchian has already been within the MCU, not as one, however as two characters within the Ant-Man franchise. In Ant-Man and its first sequel, Dastmalchian portrayed Kurt, an Japanese European ex-con who works with Scott Lang and Luis. Dastmalchian put in a voice function for Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, portraying Veb, the gloopy alien with translation powers.
On the different different hand, one other high-profile actor with darkish options already performed Morbius on display. Tron: Ares star Jared Leto portrayed Morbius within the 2022 movie, a part of Sony‘s now-aborted try to construct a franchise out of Spider-Man supporting characters and never out of Spider-Man. Famously, Morbius was extensively mocked on-line, which Sony execs mistook for real curiosity, driving them to place the film again into theaters after it initially bombed… solely to have it bomb once more.
One would suppose that such an embarrassing exhibiting would consign the Sony Morbius to the dustbin of historical past, leaving room for Dastmalchian to tackle the character. But, as seen by the inexplicable nostalgia for lame 2000s Marvel motion pictures similar to Elektra and Incredible 4, nostalgia that noticed Jennifer Garner and Chris Evans reprise their roles as characters from these movies in Deadpool & Wolverine, individuals on the web will reclaim something.
Which isn’t essentially an issue for Dastmalchian, because of the richness of the Marvel Universe. “Oh, my God. There’s so many nice characters in in within the MCU, and I’ve at all times been a fan of the horror and the weirder characters,” he enthused. The truth is, he even put in a request for a wierd spinoff of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, a group that features lesser-known people similar to U.S. Agent and Marvel Man. “Anyone from the West Coast Avengers could be enjoyable for me to get to mess around with,” he admitted.
Might we see Dastmalchian don tiger stripes and a black bikini to play Tigra? It wouldn’t be the weirdest factor he’s ever completed. Furthermore, he will surely kill it within the function.
