Jon Hamm as Don Draper in Mad Men with MCU heroes
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Marvel Studios may be in talks to bring Jon Hamm into the MCU, which could see the acclaimed actor bring any number of iconic Marvel Comics characters into live-action. Jon Hamm has long been speculated to be joining a superhero franchise, and suspicions of his superpowered debut have only increased in recent weeks.
Theo James voiced Bastion in X-Men '97, and he would be a strong choice to bring his animated character into live-action. However, Hamm's more years of experience, particularly as handsome and domineering characters, and those with a twist, such as Matt Trent in Black Mirror, makes him a closer match for Bastion. It may be several years before Bastion makes his live-action debut in the MCU, so the fact that Hamm may join the MCU sooner suggests this haunting villain may be discounted.
Hamm's dark hair, playful personality, and experience in both comedy and drama make him a strong match for a live-action Beyonder. The Beyonder initially has a childish, inquisitive temperament, wanting to learn about humans and heroes.
7 Reed Richards, A.K.A. The Maker Jon Hamm's Reed Richards Variant Could Oppose Pedro Pascal's Mister Fantastic Close Marvel Studios recently confirmed the casting of Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards' Mister Fantastic, the leader of the Fantastic Four, dashing some fan-cast theories that placed Jon Hamm in the coveted role.
Yes, Jon Hamm himself has appeared in Marvel Comics, popping up at the second Hellfire Gala in 2022's X-Men: Hellfire Gala #1, and being surprisingly revealed to have had a prior relationship with mutant Emma Frost. This, of course, creates the opportunity for Jon Hamm to simply play himself in the MCU, but this would be an incredibly brief role for the actor, so he may be better matched to another character related to the Hellfire Club: Sebastian Shaw.
In all of his previous MCU movies, Tom Holland's Peter Parker has sought older and more-experienced superhero mentors, including Iron Man, Mysterio, and Doctor Strange. Norman Osborn may fill this role in the MCU's new Spider-Man trilogy, perhaps altered from Marvel Comics so as not to make him a villain immediately.
Henry Gyrich most recently appeared in X-Men '97, voiced by Todd Haberkorn, though he eventually had his memories absorbed by Rogue before being killed by Bastion. Cyclops and Havok have previously been played by James Marsden, Tim Pocock, Tye Sheridan, and Lucas Till, respectively, but the pair's father has never been seen in live-action.
