During last year’s New York Comic Con, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star Alan Tudyk revealed that he would be open to playing Blue Beetle in a movie if his Firefly and Con Man co-star Nathan Fillion were cast as Booster Gold. But that isn’t the only superhero genre character that the actor would consider portraying.
In a recent interview with Screen Rant, Tudyk expressed his interest in landing a role in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Since he has been in a number of Disney projects, the interviewer asked him whether he would like to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe portion of the family. The actor responded:
I don’t know how we get me in a Marvel movie…I’m open to suggestions (laughs). I’d love something in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. They’re so much fun. I wouldn’t expect any less from James Gunn. He’s a perfect fit for those movies. So one of those would be great.
However, the actor also added that he doesn’t see himself “as a superhero by any stretchâ€.  He went on to say that he hasn’t read enough comics to suggest a particular character as a perfect fit. When the interviewer suggested that he could have played Ant-Man in the MCU, Tudyk said:
Yeah but you know, Paul Rudd nailed it. He’s perfect. I couldn’t have done that as well. You know, maybe a villain? I think a villain who’s sort of scattered…
The actor added that an “off-the-rails, insane person who succumbs to his own madnessâ€Â would be the kind of character that he could relate to!
It seems that James Gunn, too, is eager about signing Alan Tudyk for a role in a Guardians of the Galaxy movie. Fandango’s Erik Davis relayed the actor’s interest to him on Twitter, and he responded:
@ErikDavis @AlanTudyk is my friend and I’m always on the lookout for ways to work with him again! Our first two team ups are masterpieces!
