When it comes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it feels as if everybody wants a slice of the pie.
I shouldn’t think there’s a major actor in Hollywood who can’t get a meeting with Kevin Feige, should they want one.
After all, it’s surely inMarvel’s best interests to keep the doors open to the industry’s top talent.

There are still plenty of household names who have yet to appear in theMCU- although one more might soon be taking the plunge.

Just because Marvel has seemingly spoken to Streep, it doesn’t necessarily mean that something will work out.
The right role, as Finn said, hasn’t surfaced yet but it might never surface.
I hope I’m wrong though. How great would it be to see a potential Streep character cross paths with Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus Ross? Two onscreen legends.
