Ethan Hawke discusses returning for The Black Phone 2. Get a look at the opening of the new Chainsaw Man movie. Plus, what’s to come on The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. To me, my spoilers!
The MCU
During a recent interview with The Direct, David Dastmalchian revealed he’s interested in playing Morbius or Marvel’s Dracula, if Marvel has no further need for his supporting character in the first two Ant-Man movies, Veb.
I’ve always wanted to take a crack at Morbius, the living vampire. I would love the opportunity to play Dr. Michael Morbius. Oh, my God. There’s so many great characters in in in the MCU, and I’ve always been a fan of the horror and the weirder characters. Anybody from the West Coast Avengers would be fun for me to get to play around with. I love the idea of the Marvel version of Dracula, which I always loved. I thought that any of the monster stuff, the Midnight Suns, the stuff that was part of the old Defenders, would be cool.
However, the actor makes the case Veb could still serve a purpose in future Fantastic Four stories.
I tell you what, I think that it makes no sense that the Fantastic Four are going to be traipsing around all the different universes within the galaxies and all these different realities and all these different beings and creatures from other places. They need a Veb to help interpret all the language barriers. So, I’m putting out the call right now. Marvel, if you’re listening, I think Veb needs to come and be part of the ‘Fantastic Five.’ And Kurt could fix all the computers at Avengers HQ. So, that needs to happen.
