Rumor has it Marvel almost had another award-winning actor in line for Spider-Man: Homecoming’s sequel, but Matt Damon decided to pass on it.
Maybe Damon just didn’t feel like going down that road, or maybe superhero movies aren’t really his style.
In its humble beginnings, the MCU was often a chance for unknown or un-established actors to make names for themselves.
And, if you recall, Damon has already appeared in the MCU as an Asgardian thespian playing Loki during that hysterical opening scene in Thor: Ragnarok.
