10 Actors Who Want To Join The MCU
6. Jessica Chastain
In spite of Fox’s X-Men hitting the dizzying heights of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Deadpool, and Logan, it sadly limped over the finish line. There is debate over the worst movie in the entire franchise, however Dark Phoenix is always in the conversation.
This hasn’t stopped Jessica Chastain, who portrayed the painfully forgettable Vuk, wanting to try again with Marvel. The It Chapter Two star is so much better than what was shown in the X-Men franchise, so there is a potential for redemption in the MCU at some point. However, Chastain does have some surprising conditions.
Whereas many aspire to play a superhero in their lives, she would much prefer a villainous role as she believes they have more fun. This character would also have to be already established in the comics, and as she has no interest in a long term contract, have their entire arc told in just one appearance.
Arguably the most surprising thing about all of this is that she is describing exactly Vuk, the villain that she portrayed in Dark Phoenix that absolutely no one considered anything more than a waste of time. Maybe under the Marvel Studios umbrella she would be able to bring a better villain to the table. It couldn’t get much worse, right?
