The Marvel Cinematic Universe largely revolves around a group of recurring cast members that help keep the storylines and continuities together as they evolve. Of course, with so many actors involved, there are those who have failed to return. Now one such Marvel star his cast doubt on making a return to the MCU.
This particular actor last appeared in the MCU over 5 years ago – and hasn’t been seen in a film since. Of course, many fans would love to see him reprise his role, something he did at least vocally for the Disney Plus series What If…?. Of course, fans are eagerly to see the actor in a live-action capacity in the main MCU, so that’s what he’s finally addressed.
While speaking in a new interview, he discussed his character and the likelihood of returning to the MCU. Unfortunately, he doesn’t think there’s much left for his character to do in the franchise – casting doubt on a return to the MCU that so many would love to see.
Here’s what Jude Law specifically had to say about his character, Yon-Rogg, likely being over in the MCU while speaking with Variety:
“I don’t think there was much more they could get out of Yon-Rogg … That, for me, was the height of Marvel.”
On that note, he did appreciate working as much as he did get the opportunity to:
“It was a really good experience. I wish I’d been allowed to have a bit more fun with the part. I wanted him to be more arch. I wanted to lean into the humor more.”
Law also discussed some of the negatives of playing in the MCU, including the difficulty with wearing his suit in the film:
“Also, those suits are hard to move in because they’re thick rubber. You go to stunt camp for a couple of months, where you’re doing all these fight rehearsals and learning to do all this stuff. And then you put the suit on, and you go, ‘Oh! I can’t touch my toes! How am I going to do all that stuff with this thing on?’ You figure it out though.”
It seems as though while Jude Law enjoyed most of his time in the MCU, there just isn’t much more for his character to do. Nevertheless, if they found a way to bring him back for What If…?, there are certainly a few other doorways they could explore if they really wanted a reason to have Law come back.
