Matthew McConaughey “eyed for villain role in “Spider-Man” reboot”May 21, 2015 - 11:40 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Matthew McConaughey has been targeted by Marvel Studios for a villain role in upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot. As AceShowbiz reports citing Point of Geeks, Marvel is eying Matthew to play Norman Osborn a.k.a. Green Goblin in the upcoming reboot. The site claims that there have been "basic talks" between the "Interstellar" actor and the studio, before pointing out the actor's previous quote to Variety about reading Marvel scripts, saying, "Nothing has been right for me yet." Matthew previously confirmed he had been eyed by both Marvel and Warner Bros. to star in superhero movies. "I've read some Marvel and DC scripts and I've talked about working with them on some scripts, none of which I'll share with with you what they are - or were. Yeah, I've circled some of those. Nothing has been right for me yet. But I'm sure open to it," he said. According to the site, it's not surprising for Marvel to target such an A-list actor as Norman Osborn character's overall prominence in the comics has risen over the past decade. While it is unclear to what extent Sony and Marvel intend to include Norman Osborn in MCU in the future, in recent years the villain character has been crucial as an "anti-hero" in the comics as the director of the Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers. "Spider-Man" reboot is scheduled for a 2017 release. Previously, Asa Butterfield, Nat Wolff, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet and Liam James were reported as candidates to take the role of Peter Parker.
