Marvel Studios cannot seem to secure AdamDriver as their next superhero.
In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the studio’s president, Kevin Feige, shared that the actor has repeatedly rejected offers welcoming him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“It’s no secret we’d like to [work with Adam],” Feige shared. “But it’s a tradition to Zoom with him and then he passes. That’s a long-lived tradition. He couldn’t be more cordial. He is usually upfront about how he is feeling.”
The Marvel head shared this tidbit at a time when the internet is filled with rumors about Driver playing Magneto in Marvel’s X-Men reboot. Feige claimed that they haven’t made any casting decisions for the film.
The 42-year-old actor has seen quite a successful career. He has been nominated for two Academy Awards, for Best Supporting Actor in BlacKkKlansman and for Best Actor in Marriage Story. He is well known for his portrayal of Kylo Ren in the Star Wars franchise in films such as The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
Driver enjoyed his time in the Star Wars universe and would've reprised his role if given the opportunity. He told the Associated Press last year that he and director StevenSoderbergh worked on a film about Kylo Ren called The Hunt for Ben Solo. The movie was killed by Disney executives.
“I always was interested in doing another ‘Star Wars,’” Driver told the outlet. “I had been talking about doing another one since 2021. Kathleen [Kennedy] had reached out. I always said: ‘With a great director and a great story, I’d be there in a second.’ I loved that character and loved playing him.”
Adding, “We presented the script to Lucasfilm. They loved the idea. They totally understood our angle and why we were doing it. We took it to BobIger and Alan Bergman, and they said no. They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.”
