For a long time comic book fans hoped that the Bryan Cranston of the award-winning series ‘Breaking Bad’ was to play Superman’s ‘awesome rival’ Lex Luthor for the DCEU, and unfortunately that never materialised, but now the American actor has made his way to Marvel! According to giantfreakingrobot, Cranston has signed on for a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We don’t know if the Breaking Bad star will make his MCU debut in a movie or one of the studio’s Disney+ original series. It’s also not known if Cranston will only be working with Marvel once, or if his role will evolve into something bigger.
If the actor ends up being a “Marvel villain” with a… future ahead of him, then Cranston himself may have given the answer for his role a few years ago. In 2015, the star admitted to Screen Geek that one Marvel villain he’d like to play was the X-Men antagonist, Mister Sinister.
He was vague about the villain role he was talking about at first, but when Mister Sinister was mentioned, he said: “Actually, that was the character, I’ll admit it. Mister Sinister was the character I was thinking of.” A big reason why Cranston chose the character was the simple fact that no one else had played him yet.
In fact, he mentioned as a “counter example” what role he does not want to play Batman’s “Commissioner Gordon”. which has been played by many actors. “I don’t want to do a character that’s been done many times before… I don’t want to be compared, like ‘well, his own Commissioner Gordon was blah blah blah.’ I don’t want to do something like that. I want to do something that hasn’t been done.”
