In a recent interview with Cassius, actor and Wu Tang Clan front man Method Man says that he’s like to tackle the role of Bishop, a human mutant who is also a descendant from the Aborigines of Australia.
Meth says that he’s been planning to play Bishop for quite some time, despite his success in no-fictional roles from 50 Cent’s Power series as well as his early supporting role on HBO’s The Wire.
“I was just putting it out there to see if I could hook something,” Meth said. “Those guys at the MCU, they know their stuff. I haven’t had any problems with any of their casting choice so far. So whoever gets the job… I think Omar Sy did an excellent job as Bishop, but that was before MCU. If they chose him again, I think he’d kill it. There’s a few people out there. But if they’re willing to give me a shot, I’d go for it. Plus, I’ve done all the research already.”
