David Dastmalchian he’s made a name for himself playing bizarre and complex characters in the superhero multiverse, but now he’s set his sights on something darker.
THE Ant-Man AND The suicide squad the actor recently shared that he’s eager to enter Marvel’s horror territory, particularly as Morbius, the living vampire.
Speaking to The Direct, Dastmalchian spoke about his dream role in Marvel, saying:
“I’ve always wanted to try Morbius, the Living Vampire.”
Fans know Dastmalchian as Kurt Ant-Man AND Ant-Man and the Waspand most recently as the clingy and lovable Veb Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
But, when it comes to what he wants next, the actor wants something with a little more bite. “I would love the opportunity to play Dr. Michael Morbius. Oh, my God. There are so many amazing characters in the MCU, and I’ve always been a fan of horror and weirder characters.”
His appeal doesn’t stop with Morbius. Dastmalchian revealed he was drawn to Marvel’s entire supernatural lineup, adding:
“I love the idea of the Marvel version of Dracula, which I’ve always loved. I thought any monster stuff, the Midnight Suns, anything that was part of the old Defenders, would be great.”
This passion aligns perfectly with Marvel Studios’ growing interest in exploring the creepier side of its universe. Recent projects such as Werewolf at night, Knight of the MoonAND Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have embraced supernatural storytelling, proving that there’s plenty of room for monsters, vampires, and all things macabre in the MCU.
Sony’s Morbius (2022), starring Jared Leto, didn’t hit the mark with fans, but the character’s absence from the official MCU continuity leaves the door wide open for a new version, and Dastmalchian might be just the right person to give him new life.
I think he would be great in the role! Outside of Marvel, Dastmalchian has appeared in The suicide squad, Duna: first part, Oppenheimer, Late night with the devil,The black manAND The Boston Strangler.
His love of the strange and supernatural has always defined his work, and his desire to bring that energy into the MCU feels like a natural evolution.
If Dastmalchian ever had the chance to become Marvel’s next creature of the night, it’s safe to say that fans would be excited to see him.
