John Krasinski Wants A Marvel Villain Role

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.
