10 Actors Who Want To Join The MCU
5. Ryan Hurst
Best known for bringing to life Opie Winston on Sons of Anarchy and Beta on The Walking Dead, Ryan Hurst has over the years built himself something of a loyal group of fans to eventually call upon to support his dreams of joining the MCU.
Back in October 2021, Hurst took to Instagram to answer the much asked question of which superhero he would like to play on the big screen. Though he didn’t know exactly who for a while, he ultimately settled on Sentry, citing the character’s troubled past, Superman and Thor-esque powers, and ability to talk to dogs as the biggest reasons why.
Ever since, the actor routinely shares articles written on the subject, and fan art of himself in the role of Sentry on social media, with his fans campaigning on his behalf to get him a meeting with Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios.
Hurst already has the look down for the character, has a physique that could easily pass for that of a superhero, and has proven his ability to form intense connections with audiences in the past. All of this could add to up to a phenomenal casting choice when the inevitable moment of Sentry’s MCU debut finally comes.
