Bryan Cranston Wants to Play a Marvel Villain

Bryan Cranston is interested in “Breaking Bad” once more, as the Emmy victor told the U.K.’s Metro he would like to play “some big superhero villain in a few Marvel classic”. “I don’t know what I would do, but it would be nasty”.

While he’s jokingly dismissed that in the past (mostly because he’s pretty sure people only named him as a favourite due to him already having done such a great job as one bald villain), there’s no denying that Cranston would be ideal for that role or any other he takes a fancy to in the superhero genre.

The 59-year-old actor, who played the infamous meth king-pin in the crime TV series, said he wants to explore his dark side more, reported Metro.

That’s where it gets tricky: Marvel has a vast library of comic-book characters good and bad to draw upon for its movies, and even relatively minor screen bad guys like Batroc have their roots in the pages of Marvel’s publishing history.

That would be pretty interesting, especially because just about every major villain to appear in the Marvel films so far has been based on a pre-existing comic book character.

As to what kind of villain he’d create, Cranson said, “I don’t know what I would do but it would be nasty”.
