Hey Marvel! Al Pacino Would Like to Be in One of Your Movies
Marvel Studios has gotten some pretty awesome legendary talent to appear in their awesome superhero movie. There was Jeff Bridges in Iron Man, Anthony Hopkins in Thor, Robert Redford in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Ben Kingsley in Iron Man 3, Glenn Close in Guardians of the Galaxy, and Michael Douglas in Ant-Man. They don't seem to have any issues getting talent like this to be in their films, but in case they want to throw Al Pacino into the mix, he recently revealed in an interview with Deadline that he'd be open to doing it! I have no idea who he would play, but if they ever have a role that would fit Pacino they should definitely attempt to get him on board.
The conversation about Marvel started when he admitted to loving James Gunn's Guardains of the Galaxy, saying,
"I recognized the ingenious stuff they were doing; the invention, the attractiveness of the way they were performing it. It had Shakespearian feeling to it at times. I was caught up in the big screen, the great sound…"
That led to the actor being asked if he would ever get involved with a Marvel project if they approached him, and this was his reply:
"I would do anything that I could understand in terms of how I fit in it. And you know, of course if I could fit in it. Anything’s possible. You know, I did Dick Tracy and I got an Oscar nomination, so come on. I mean, what can I say?"
I love Pacino's attitude! I think it would be so cool to see Pacino in a superhero film, and I hope that one day a part comes along that would require the talent of this legendary actor. Getting involved with a Marvel movie wouldn't hurt his career, that's for sure.
So Marvel, if you're reading this, and you have a role that Pacino would fit into, now might be a good time to start talking to him about it.
