“I loved it. It was quite a small role in that movie. I think the character in the comic books … I would say this — but I do think amongst X-Men fans, it’s very much true — I think that there’s so much to explore there. I think it’s not really been explored that much on film,” Hardy confirmed to ComicBook. “And who knows? Whether it’s me or if it’s someone else, I’d love to do it, because I did so much research on that character and I’d love to bring that to the screen. But who knows? I’m waiting on a phone call, so just generate some buzz to at least give me the opportunity, please.”
After a trilogy of successful X-Men films, 2011’s X-Men: First Class served as a prequel to the original movies, while X-Men: Days of Future Past helped bring multiple generations of X-Men performers together. Apocalypse and the subsequent Dark Phoenix featured a blend of both generations’ casts, though the X-Men actors confirmed to be appearing in Doomsday are all from the original iteration of the characters. Whether we’ll get to see the second generation of X-Men actors joining the MCU is yet to be seen, though the cast and fans alike will agree on how much potential is left in characters who were underused in previous big-screen adventures.
