Matthew McConaughey Rejected GOTG Vol. 2 Villain Role!
Matthew McConaughey "“ the actor who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in Dallas Buyers Club "“ gave the thumbs down to the offer of playing the big baddie in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! That's what Variety revealed while reporting Pom Klementieff casting confirmation. According to site, the studio and the director were both interested in casting McConaughey as the villain of the sequel but it was the actor who "˜passed' it.
They also suggest that the search for the villain of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is "˜in progress' at the moment. Their sources have claimed that the studio is likely to make a final decision "˜in coming weeks'. The sequel is expected to kick off its filming in the first half of 2016.
Either the script or the villainous character of the sequel must have seemed unimposing to Matthew McConaughey as he stated earlier this year to Variety that he is "˜SURE OPEN' to play a Marvel or DC role if "˜the story and character' look convincing. He also claimed then that he had read script from either of the comic book giants' film franchises!
If Marvel couldn't impress him, can DC? Don't forget that his name has been linked more than once to Hal Jordan role of DC Extended Universe's Green Lantern Corps! But so was Chris Pine's name and he ended up being cast as Wonder Woman's love interest Steve Trevor! So, we can't be sure!
Share your views on Pom Klementieff's casting and Matthew McConaughey's rejection. And STAY TUNED for all the latest updates from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
