Cinema Blend have managed to get the scoop from one of their “long time scoopers,” The deal appears to be that Matthew McConaughey is being scouted as a possible contender for the beloved role. They believe their source to be reliable, but it is still so early on that even if the source is correct, whether McConaughey actually plays the role is up for time to decide.
A quick visit to Google Image search later, and I’m a little confused as to why they’d want McConaughey for the role though. Sure, he’s got that nice all-American muscley build, but I’m not convinced that he’s got the face, or the acting chops, to pull off a movie of this import.
I think Marvel may be looking in the wrong direction (if they are looking in this direction at all), especially with the prospect of McConaughey leading the Avengers movie. Either way, time will tell, and no doubt we’ll report a half-dozen more rumors by the time we know for sure.
