Unleashing The Force: Star Wars Actor Sets Sights on Unforgettable Marvel Hero in the MCU

Highlights

Ahmed Best, known for his role as Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars, expressed interest in joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Blue Marvel.

Best, who has encountered criticism and career obstacles as a result of his depiction of Jar Jar Binks, has recently become more involved, even making a comeback in the Star Wars franchise.

Though it is improbable that Best will have the chance to portray Blue Marvel in the ongoing MCU, the potential arises if Kevin Feige decides to reboot with Avengers: Secret Wars.

Star Wars actor Ahmed Best, famous for his portrayal of Jar Jar Binks, has expressed interest in expanding his work with Disney. He has his sights set on potentially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Blue Marvel.

Although Best gained recognition for his role as Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, the character faced widespread criticism. The backlash was so severe that it pushed Best to the brink of suicide and halted his career for a significant period. However, he has since bounced back and is currently enjoying a resurgence, even making a return to the Star Wars franchise on television as a Jedi.

Rather than considering the portrayal of Jar Jar as a Sith Lord, as suggested by some fans, Best has expressed interest in playing the character of Blue Marvel in the Marvel universe. Sharing fan art on Instagram, Best captioned the post with his enthusiasm for the role. The fan art received positive feedback from commenters, showcasing admiration for both the art and Best himself. Blue Marvel, a relatively lesser-known character in the Marvel universe, has gained a following among devoted Marvel Comics fans due to his unique powers and origins. Best has also shown interest in a role in the Fantastic Four, a notion supported by some fans in the comments section.

The fanart and Best's interest in the character are appealing, but it is unlikely that Blue Marvel will make a live-action appearance anytime soon. Disney's recent attempts to deviate from the popular heroes have not been successful, as seen with The Marvels and its low pre-sale numbers. It seems that Best's wish for Blue Marvel to be included in the current MCU may not happen. However, there are reports suggesting that Avengers: Secret Wars could be a reboot point chosen by Kevin Feige. If this is true, Best may have a chance to portray the obscure hero in a new MCU, with a gradual introduction of new characters similar to the earlier phases. Fans will have to wait and see if this opportunity materializes or if Best's wishes remain unanswered.
