Anson Mount confirms he has had talks with Marvel execs about Black Bolt’s future return

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor Monte Ansone first appeared in the MCU in the ABC series Marvel In humansaired for eight episodes in 2017. He returned to the role in the amazing lineup in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), making a cameo appearance as a member of Earth-838’s Illuminati alongside superheroes that included Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), the Maria Rambeau Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), Reed Richards (John Krasinsky) of the Fantastic Four, and Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) of the X-Men.

The Black Bolt of Earth-838 met his end during an encounter with the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) along with the rest of his crew, but due to the multiverse, we know he’s not gone forever. The actor was excited to get a second chance to play the part, he previously tweeted last year:

“I’m getting a call from [Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige] it was one of the most unexpected of my life. It was an honor and a joy to finally work [with] [Doctor Strange 2 director] Sam Raimi who reached out to me to involve me in the best way to do it. More than grateful for the experience.”

When asked if he’s had an offer to return to the MCU since then, Mount told RadioTimes.com:

“If the answer was yes, I couldn’t tell you, but the answer is no, so I can. I’ve had a few informal conversations with the powers [at] Marvel and it’s a conversation, but they have their own current phase that they need to do. I don’t know, we’ll see. I’d love to get back in the hood and do it again. I love Black Bolt as a character.”

Wonder In humans AND Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are available to stream on Disney+. New episodes of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premieres Thursday on Paramount+.
