New Rumor Claims That George Clooney Is in Talks to Join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Undisclosed Role
George Clooney played Batman in DC’s 1997 film Batman & Robin, and we even got to see him back in the role of Bruce Wayne at the end of last year’s The Flash.
But he was sure to tell fans that the appearance was only a cameo and he wasn’t looking to be back as Batman again. That may not be the last time we see him in superhero mode though.
According to a new rumor from scooper MTTSH (via CBM), a report is claiming that Clooney is in talks with Marvel Studios for an undisclosed role.
Clooney is 63, and while he doesn't look it and could get away with playing younger, this does narrow down the characters he could be in the mix for to at least some extent.
Right now, the most popular theory seems to be a Multiversal Variant of Nick Fury, who could certainly be introduced in or in the build-up to Avengers: Secret Wars. There's also some speculation that he might be in line to play Doctor Doom in The Fantastic Four.
If this turns out to be true, who would you like to see George Clooney play in the MCU?
