MCU Targets Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm, renowned for his role in Mad Men, is reportedly in negotiations with Marvel Studios for his MCU debut. Hamm has actively pursued MCU roles, even pitching himself for specific parts based on comic book storylines he admires.

His previous attempt at a Marvel role, Mister Sinister in The New Mutants, was ultimately cut due to the film's troubled production. However, this hasn't deterred him. A recent Hollywood Reporter profile revealed Hamm's discussions with Marvel executives about adapting a particular comic book he's passionate about, suggesting he's the ideal choice.

While the specific comic book remains undisclosed, fan speculation runs rampant, with Doctor Doom being a popular suggestion. Hamm previously expressed interest in this iconic Fantastic Four villain. His past experience with Mister Sinister, though ultimately unused, further fuels anticipation for his MCU entry.

Hamm's career showcases a deliberate choice against typecasting. He prioritizes roles that genuinely interest him, evidenced by his recent work in Fargo and The Morning Show. This selective approach, coupled with his past interest in villainous roles, makes his potential MCU debut all the more intriguing.

Although he declined the role of Green Lantern, Hamm remains eager to portray a compelling comic book character. The possibility of revisiting Mister Sinister under Disney's direction, or even taking on Doctor Doom (despite Galactus's rumored role in the Fantastic Four reboot), remains open. The future of this collaboration, and whether it translates to the big screen, remains to be seen.
