When asked if he’d been contacted, John replied (via The Wrap), “There aren’t any discussions at all, the only discussion I had was actually in the second-to-last week of Jack Ryan. Kevin Feige called and said would you ever fly to L.A. and play in our sandbox for a day? I was honored to do it. I flew right from Budapest when we wrapped and went right to the ‘Doctor Strange’ set. I’m a big fan of all those characters and that world, so to get to play in that sandbox for one day was a real thrill.”

“It’s totally insane. To be in a room with all those people, and again to be a part of that narrative is crazy,” he added. “But yeah, being turned into spaghetti wasn’t my end goal in life as far as how it goes in the Marvel universe, but you know what it was fun nonetheless.”

John actually was almost cast in the Marvel Cinematic Universe over a decade ago in one of the biggest roles to date.
