Jon Hamm, renowned for his role in "Mad Men," is reportedly in negotiations with Marvel Studios for a potential MCU debut. Hamm has actively pursued MCU roles, even pitching himself for multiple parts based on comic book storylines that resonate with him. His previous attempt to join the Marvel universe as Mister Sinister in Fox's "The New Mutants" was ultimately unsuccessful due to the film's troubled production, resulting in the deletion of his scenes.

However, a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter reveals Hamm's renewed interest and ongoing discussions with Marvel executives. He expressed his enthusiasm for a specific, yet undisclosed, comic book adaptation, proposing himself for the lead role. While the exact comic book remains a mystery, fan speculation is rampant, with Doctor Doom from the Fantastic Four frequently cited as a popular choice. Hamm previously voiced his interest in portraying Doctor Doom, further fueling fan excitement. Although not confirmed for the upcoming Fantastic Four reboot (with Galactus rumored as the antagonist), the possibility remains.

Hamm's career trajectory demonstrates a preference for diverse, compelling roles rather than being typecast. His recent high-profile work in "Fargo" and "The Morning Show" reinforces his current relevance and widespread appeal, making his potential MCU entry highly anticipated. Despite previously declining the role of Green Lantern, his continued interest in comic book characters suggests a strong preference for a villainous role, increasing the likelihood of his portrayal of a character like Doctor Doom. Alternatively, a reimagining of Mister Sinister under Disney's production could also be a possibility. Ultimately, the success of this collaboration and its eventual cinematic release remains uncertain.
