Daniel Craig confirms he ‘would love’ to star in a Marvel film amid speculation he could join the MCU
Further reacting to claims that he could still appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the James Bond star continued: ‘Sure, I would love to do a Marvel film… absolutely, definitely.’
Earlier this year, Marvel fans discovered that Asgardian warrior Balder The Brave was one of the many roles cut from the Doctor Strange sequel.
The character is reportedly set to be a member of the Illuminati in the flick and, in October, concept artist Darrel Warren shared what the vision for the character looks like in an Instagram post that appears to confirm the speculation.
‘BALDER THE BRAVE | Shame this character went no further than this watercolour,’ she captioned the image which bears a striking resemblance to Craig. ‘You already know the story and if not, look it up online……’

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness centers on the superhero of the same name and follows him as he deals with complications arising from casting a forbidden spell that opens a gateway to the multiverse.

In addition to Cumberbatch, the film stars performers such as Elizabeth Olsen, 33, Chiwetel Ejiofor, 45, and Benedict Wong, 51.
Craig also spoke about his time as Bond, explaining that he had one major fear before his 15-year stint as 007.
‘It’s on the pro and con list – that [the role] will change my life,’ he admitted. ‘I had a certain level of anonymity at that time, I could still go out and travel and walk through an airport – and I knew I’d lose that.
‘But it was also on the pro list, and it worked for the best.’
The actor’s candid confession came after audiences got a chance to see his upcoming film, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, at a special screening event held on 92NY on Monday night.
The premise of the new film is: ‘When a tech billionaire Miles Bron, played by Edward Norton, invites some of his nearest and dearest for a vacation to his private island in Greece, soon becomes clear that all is not perfect in paradise.’
The character suggests that he pretends to be killed, but soon someone is actually killed, making the party even more terrifying.
