When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it feels as if everybody wants a slice of the pie.
I shouldnāt think thereās a major actor in Hollywood who canāt get a meeting with Kevin Feige, should they want one.
After all, itās surely in Marvelās best interests to keep the doors open to the industryās top talent.

There are still plenty of household names who have yet to appear in the MCU - although one more might soon be taking the plunge.
Any guesses? Meryl Streep.
ICYMI: Take a look at the brand new trailer for Thunderbolts* below. The film is set to launch in May 2025.
It was Agatha All Alongās casting director Sarah Halley Finn who let the cat out of the bag.

Finn said that Streep could play āanything she wantsā in the MCU in an interview with Variety.
When pressed to see if Streep had been approached by Marvel, Finn added, āMaybe,ā before confessing that there hadnāt been āthe right roleā.
Of course, Streep would make a fantastic addition to the MCU and yet fans responded to the news with humour.
Should we be surprised?

āAt [five foot, six inches]ā, sheās a bit tall for a comic accurate Wolverine, but I think she can pull it off,ā said LettuceC.
āA better version of Madame Web? I could see it,ā added trentjpruitt97.
āMephisto confirmed,ā joked Mister_Green2021.
Other suggestions included Ghost Rider, Nighthawk, Emma Frost, and ⦠Groot 2.0? Oh you are a silly lot.

Just because Marvel has seemingly spoken to Streep, it doesnāt necessarily mean that something will work out.
The right role, as Finn said, hasnāt surfaced yet but it might never surface.
I hope Iām wrong though. How great would it be to see a potential Streep character cross paths with Harrison Fordās Thaddeus Ross? Two onscreen legends.
