Matthew McConaughey states in an interview that he would be open to playing a superhero for either company.

[dropcap size=small]M[/dropcap]atthew McConaughey is one of the most popular actors right now, starring in movies like Interstellar, Dallas Buyers Club, and Magic Mike. The superhero movie genre is also at the height of its popularity. McConaughey would be a great fit for one of these movie but there has been no news on the subject until now. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the topic of superhero movies is brought up and the interviewer, Ramin Setoodeh asks McConaughey if he would ever consider being in a superhero movie to which he replies:

“I’ve read some Marvel and DC scripts and I’ve talked about working with them on some scripts, none of which I’ll share with you what they are — or were. Yeah, I’ve circled some of those. Nothing has been right for me yet. But I’m sure open to it.”

In a follow-up question, Setoodeh asks what would convince McConaughey and he says that:

“It’s very simple for me. I look at the script. Is the opportunity exciting? Is the money that comes with it exciting? Sure. Is it the possibility of going, “Hey you can get on a train and it can be a franchise and you could do 3, 4, 5, and have a great time as some kind of superhero or anti-hero.” But I would also look at something like that and say, “Hey, in success that means you are on the train for a while.” Contractually, you’re going to return to the character over and over. It’s something I asked myself is it something I’d want to return to. Would I be excited to go back and put the shoes on the character again? Going and doing the press tour with that group of people again? I always ask myself those questions again. It starts with the story and character.”

Although neither Marvel or DC have said anything about any of these talks, it is still a possibility. Marvel has many of its movies locked in for the next few years but its actors are not. One role McConaughey could possibly portray for Marvel is Black Bolt in the upcoming Inhumans. Another could be Adam Warlock who is shown above.

In the original Infinity Wars story arc, Adam Warlock gathers a team of heroes to combat Thanos. It is possible he could be introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 as he classically has been a recurring character in the comics. On the DC side of things, there are many different places McConaughey could possibly fit due to the newly expanding universe.

Currently Green Lantern is not cast for the upcoming Justice League movies so it is a possibility that McConaughey could fit in for Hal Jordan.

Again none of this is confirmed, just personal speculation. Who do you think McConaughey should play in a superhero movie? Let us know in the comments!
