Bill Skarsgård may still have a role waiting for him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to a new rumor from an industry insider, the actor is reportedly in talks for another highly anticipated MCU project after missing out on the X-Men role.
Scooper MyTimeToShineH took to X and shared that Skarsgård remains in discussions with Marvel Studios. While no official details have been confirmed, fan speculation has heavily tied him to Ryan Gosling’s upcoming Ghost Rider movie. However, the exact character he might portray remains unknown.
Previously, reports indicated that the IT star auditioned for the role of Professor X in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men reboot, a part that allegedly went to Christopher Abbott. The latest rumors suggest Marvel is keen to keep Skarsgård in their cinematic universe, potentially casting him opposite Gosling.
The news of a potential Ghost Rider role has fans speculating about the character. Many fans have pointed to iconic Marvel villains like Mephisto or Blackheart as natural fits for the actor’s sinister screen presence.
That said, this is only a rumor and should be treated as such since it has not been confirmed by Marvel or Disney.
