The latest gossip to hit he rumour mill is the potential casting of Matthew McConaughey. McConaughey has had massive success of late with movies like Dallas Buyers Club and his short but unforgettable role as Mark Hanna in The Wolf of Wall Street and it comes as no suprise that the comic book movie universe is looking to convice the actor of signing on. McConaughey indicated that he was open to joining the Marvel or DC shared movie universe if the right role (and script came along).

The Hashtag show has provided some accurate news in the past with the reveal of the new Avengers line up at the end of Age of Ultron and the fate of Quicksilver's character in the  movie so the source is certainly as good as any. In their report they suggest that McConaughey is eyeing up the role of Norman Osborne. A character like Osborn is a good fit for the actor - he can explore the emotional dichotomy and we are confident he would knock it out of the park. The actor has previously stated;

“It’s very simple for me. I look at the script. Is the opportunity exciting? Is the money that comes with it exciting? Sure. Is it the possibility of going, ‘Hey you can get on a train and it can be a franchise and you could do 3, 4, 5, and have a great time as some kind of superhero or anti-hero.’

But I would also look at something like that and say, ‘Hey, in success that means you are on the train for a while.' Contractually, you’re going to return to the character over and over. It’s something I asked myself is it something I’d want to return to. Would I be excited to go back and put the shoes on the character again? Going and doing the press tour with that group of people again? I always ask myself those questions again. It starts with the story and character.”

So it sounds like McConaughey is certainly open to the idea if the right role came along and we couldn't think of a better character than Norman Osborn. Check out the video from schmoesknow below.
