Zac Efron would jump at the opportunity to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
By Mark Lynch
Since Zac Efron wants to be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there’s no reason to keep him out of it.
Disney knows how to pick stars. People often forget that Zac Efron was once a Disney kid as he has come a long way from his High School Musical days.
One of the most talented actors in Hollywood, Efron can sing, dance, and act with the best of them. However, his performance as Ted Bundy in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile showed the world a completely different side to him.
Meanwhile, playing Phillip Carlyle in The Greatest Showman showed off all of his traits. He sang, danced, and played both comedic and dramatic. It was the perfect example of what he’s capable of and why he can be in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
During an interview on ExtraTV, Zac Efron was asked if he would join the MCU. His response should make fans happy. He said:
"“I love the Marvel universe. I’ve been a fan of Marvel since I started walking. If the right character comes along, and they want me to jump in, I would jump at the opportunity.”"
Once upon a time, it was somewhat taboo for an A-list actor to be in a comic book movie. Now, it seems like everyone wants a piece of the action. In the case of Zac Efron, it’s a fantastic idea.
As this writer mentioned earlier, there isn’t anything that Zac Efron can’t do as an actor. And with Marvel Studios continuing to evolve through new types of films and TV shows, there is more to the MCU than just being action flicks. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is more horror than anything we’ve seen. There’s also Moon Knight that dealt with childhood trauma in a way that hasn’t been seen in Marvel. Who knows what they will do next with the plethora of characters that haven’t been used.
There are so many Marvel Comics characters that haven’t made their debut in the MCU. It goes without saying that Zac Efron, being a phenomenal actor, could be capable of playing almost anyone. Combine that with his popularity and it’s easy to see that whoever he plays will guarantee the success of whatever he does in the MCU.
