Marvel Wants In On Joseph Gordon-Levitt Action

Nobody in this business of show wants to "share" actors. Let alone the franchise players. There's yet to be an actor to successfully accomplish said task. Juggle two film-series at two opposing studios at the same time. Ryan Reynolds tried (The man can't open a picture to save his life) and failed. Daniel Craig got bolder with three viable properties, crashing-and-burning with those vehicles without the license to kill.

Down the line, someone's gonna pull it off. No telling who but knowing how this works, it'll be the least-likely actor imaginable. Like how unimaginable it was to say a decade ago how Joseph Gordon-Levitt would go from a kid actor to grown-up chameleon, character-actor who masterfully played Bruno JR. (Looper), Cobra Commander (G.I. Joe) and "Robin" (The Dark Knight Rises).

Something could be in the cards. "Could" being the operative word.

Levitt is the latest young thespian in contention for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (per "TOLDJA.") James Gunn is writing/directing and said leading role is Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord); leader of the group. Not a connoisseur on those comics, afraid to admit, but when asking a more-comics-literate pal this afternoon, I was informed Levitt is a fine choice. Assuming this goes beyond "consideration" – one in many names thrown in the hat.

The rumor-mill envisioned a future with Levitt doing "the Batman voice" in Justice League. If this Guardians item is the real deal, then wave goodbye to that.

That's a bingo. My mistake!
