Legendary actor Tom Hanks has been discussing the possibility of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The MCU has emerged as the biggest juggernaut movie franchise in the world over the past few years, with many A-list stars taking roles within the series of movies.
Hanks is one of a few big names yet to appear in the superhero franchise, and although it seems like he would be open to the idea, he hasn't had discussions with Marvel about a role yet.
"No! Not to my knowledge, have they…I do not know, I do not know," Hanks said on Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast when asked whether Marvel had him in mind for a role.
"Boy, talk about coin of the realm, you know, it's like holy cow!"
Marvel movies have received criticism from film auteurs like Martin Scorsese in the past who likened them to theme park attractions rather than films.
Hanks is more appreciative of them, though and believes some of his peers have delivered some outstanding performances.
"Look, I haven't seen them all, I'll give you that right now. But the ones I've seen, I've never come away from it without thinking 'There's a couple of great performances in there, man, those people really gave their all.'
"I don't know how they do that, I do not know. And then, after that, it's like, 'Did they examine the theme that I wanted to be seen?'
"And I can tell you, all of them are quite good, Josh, they're all quite good."
Hanks is currently promoting the live-action remake of Pinocchio in which he stars as Geppetto.
It was released on Disney+ this week and you can watch the trailer below.
