While speaking with Digital Spy, John Krasinski confirms he was up for the role of Captain America at one time (also said to have been up for Star-Lord) and mentions he wouldn’t mind playing a villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“Yeah, I’ll take a Marvel movie anytime! I love watching them, so I’d love to be a part of it. The Captain America thing was hilarious. As much as I had fun doing it… I definitely got to wear the suit. I screen-tested and all those things, and I signed my life away that I wouldn’t even talk about it, so they’re going to kill me now. Thanks. But as soon as I heard that Chris [Evans] was considering it, I applauded. Chris is a good friend, and very very good at what he does, and so I was so happy to see him do it. Maybe now I have to play a villain where I fight Chris. That’s what we need to do.”
Any ideas which villain Krasinski could play? How about Red Guardian?
John Krasinksi stars in “13 Hours,” in theaters now.
