Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood admits he’s ready to be in a bigger franchise again, like the Marvel movies or preferably a live-action Star Wars. Wood previously voiced the character Jace Rucklin in Star Wars Resistance.
Speaking with ET, Wood admitted that he hasn’t been able to “play in a giant sandbox” recently, and would love to appear in a Marvel movie or preferably a live-action Star Wars. He admits that there has been a lot of discourse lately about whether Marvel films are truly cinema, but he also admits that doesn’t bother him because the movies are so fun and well-made. Read the full quote below:
“I think that’s just inherently fun. I haven’t had a chance to play in a giant sandbox in a while… Star Wars gets precedent because I’m a huge Star Wars fan. So more of that, certainly in the live-action sphere, would be awesome. But working on a Marvel film, I mean, there’s obviously a whole conversation that happens certainly in film Twitter about sort of the cinematic relevance of Marvel. Is it cinema? All this sort of sh-t. And whether you like superhero movies or not, they are inherently fun. And those movies are extremely well made.
I think getting to play again in that universe’s sandbox would be a blast. It’d be totally awesome, because it’s at such an insane scale.”
We will be watching to see if his dream comes true!
