Unfortunately Michael Shannon wouldn’t elaborate about the project in question, but it is clear that it was either for a Star Wars movie or a Marvel movie, given the question.

During a recent interview with Fandango while promoting his latest movie Nocturnal Animals, Michael Shannon was asked if he would ever want to join a Marvel or Star Wars movie.
