There is no doubt that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most popular film franchises today, if not at the top of the list, depending on the metric used for the measurement. Of Man of Steel to the new release Thor: love and thunderThese Marvel movies have had a huge impact on the entertainment realm and they won’t be going away anytime soon. This means there are far more opportunities for the main cast to contribute to the superhero franchise, including Hollywood heavyweight Tom Hanks, who was recently asked to appear in the MCU and also voiced his take on the performances that play the their actors.
appearing in the Happy Sad Confused podcast to talk about his work in live-action Pinocchio remake (now viewable with a Disney + subscription) and other aspects of his career, host Josh Horowitz asked Tom Hanks why he wasn’t in a Marvel movie, with the host adding that Hanks already knew they must have asked. . The actor replied:
No, not that I know of. I do not know.
It’s something Tom Hanks has yet to appear in a Marvel movie, but the fact that no one at Marvel Studios has approached him for a role is curious. After all, Marvel Studios is under the Disney umbrella and Hanks is pretty much a King of Mouse House with all the characters he has played for the company for decades, including Woody in the toy story film, Walt Disney himself Save Mr. Banks and Geppetto in the latest Disney issue Pinocchio. Also, Hanks almost appeared in the Star Wars openness through a secret Alone cameo that ultimately didn’t work out, although in this case it probably had more to do with this film directed by Ron Howard, a director he has worked with multiple times. Regardless, Hanks has enough credibility at Disney to ensure Marvel Studios at least put him on a list for consideration.
We’ll have to wait and see if Tom Hanks ever appears in the MCU, but like anyone who regularly watches movies, the actor is connected to the franchise as an audience member, at least in part. Hanks mentioned later in the interview:
Look, I haven’t seen them all, I’ll tell you right away, but the ones I’ve seen have never left me without thinking: ‘There are great performances in there, these people really all given’. I don’t know how they do it, I don’t know. Then, afterwards, it’s like they touched on the topic I wanted to see, and I can say that they are all really good, Josh. They are all very good.
Tom Hanks compliments the MCU movies he has seen and noting that he enjoyed some of their performances may be enough to push his name further up the list of considerations above. However, let’s be honest, it’s not like Hanks needs the MCU to further his career. The man is still doing pretty well these days, including the role of Colonel Tom Parker recently Elvis (which HBO Max subscribers can watch now) and appeared on yellow stone prequel 1883 like George Meade. Hanks will appear in the comedy drama in December. A man named Ottoand was also added to the cast of the next Wes Anderson film, city of asteroids.
Rest assured though, 24 News Bulletin will let you know if Tom Hanks will be announced to join the MCU, both as a protagonist and antagonist. As for what’s on the cinematic horizon in general in the near future, check out our 2022 movie release and 2023 movie release guides for this information.
