Many fans suggested possible X-Men roles. Some said he could play Bastion or William Stryker. Others mentioned Venom, Alex Summers, or a Captain America variant. The speculation did not come out of nowhere. Rhodes has spoken about his interest in acting before. He has said that he would like to take on comic book roles.
He once revealed that he moved to Los Angeles with acting in mind. He called Black Bolt one of the best characters in comics and tried to land the role. On Logan Paul’s podcast, he was asked which mutant he would like to play. He reacted positively when Cable was suggested. Rhodes has also spoken about following in the footsteps of Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista. All three moved from wrestling into successful acting careers.
Cody Rhodes Sparks Marvel Casting Rumors After Studio Visit
Cody Rhodes has sparked speculation about a possible role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He shared a photo on his Instagram story showing himself at the Marvel Studios office. He did not provide any details about the visit.
Rhodes has a history with comic book projects. He previously appeared as Derek Sampson in seven episodes of Arrow. His wrestling character Stardust also had a comic book-inspired look. He has openly expressed his love for Marvel Comics. He has named Omega Red and Cyclops as his favorite characters. He also pursued the role of Black Bolt for Marvel’s Inhumans series in 2016.
Fans have already started suggesting roles for him. Some think he could play Captain America, Hyperion, or an X-Men character like Wolverine or Angel. However, other WWE stars have not been as lucky with Marvel casting. Becky Lynch filmed a post-credits scene for Eternals that was cut. Seth Rollins also had his role removed from Captain America: Brave New World. There is no confirmation yet about Rhodes joining the MCU.
4 Marvel Roles Cody Rhodes Could Play After His Marvel Studios Visit
Cody recently visited Marvel Studios, which has sparked a lot of speculation among fans. While the visit could just be a normal meeting, many are already guessing which Marvel character he might play. Here are four possible roles he could land.
The Stranger
The Stranger is a cosmic entity from the X-Men comics. He first appeared in X-Men #11 in 1965. He came to Earth for research purposes. If Marvel decides to bring this character into live-action, Rhodes could be a strong choice. His build and acting style would suit the role.
The Beyonder
The Beyonder is one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe. He is even stronger than Thanos. The character has not yet appeared in live-action. If Marvel wants to give Rhodes a major cosmic role, The Beyonder could be a good fit. In the comics, he played an antagonistic role in Secret Wars II.
Richard Rider (Nova)
Nova is a popular character from the comics. He is a human rocket who has appeared in TV shows and cartoons. Marvel is expected to bring Nova to live-action soon. Rhodes has the look and presence to play this role. Fans have already suggested him as Nova.
The Next Steve Rogers (Captain America)
After the events of Secret Wars, the Marvel universe is expected to reset. This could mean recasting characters like Captain America. Chris Evans has played the role for years, but he may not continue after Doomsday. Rhodes could be a great fit for a new version of Steve Rogers. His charisma and physical presence make him a natural choice.
For now, nothing is confirmed. But the visit has given fans plenty to think about. Rhodes has already shown interest in acting. He has appeared in Arrow and will soon play Guile in Street Fighter. A Marvel role would be the next step in his Hollywood journey.
