Avengers Infinity War: Darkest Hour star Gary Oldman set for MCU debut?

The 59-year-old acting legend picked up yet another gong, for his performance in Darkest Hour, at last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.

While it’s almost certain he’ll win the Best Actor BAFTA and Oscar as well, what could such a varied actor have in mind for next project?

On SAG’s red carpet, he was asked if he would like to enter Disney’s Cinematic Universe.

Speaking with People, Oldman said: “Marvel hasn’t called me.”

One of Darkest Hour’s producers, Eric Fellner, admitted he was surprised by the news, saying it “very rarely happens.”

He added: “It has been reported back to us, not only here but in America, and across the whole of the country not just in the big metropolitan areas.

“We’ve been hearing it a lot. It’s very surprising. It very rarely happens other than at the premiere or special screenings of the films, so it’s quite extraordinary. It’s completely unusual, totally unusual.”
