Would You Want To See Sawyer In A Marvel Movie?

AvengerNews has an interesting possibility in the world of Marvel casting news this week involving everyone’s favorite bad boy, Josh Holloway (Lost):

Apparently there’s been talk between Marvel and his [Josh Holloway] group to play a “lead” role in an upcoming Marvel film. We mention a “lead” role because these bigger actors often won’t sign “retainers”, meaning everything should be 100% locked (character, film, etc) for Josh once he’s signed the dotted line.

AvengerNews also put together an interesting short list of possible Marvel characters Holloway might be playing based on “the subtle hints we’ve received.”

The list includes: Hank Pym (The Avengers or the planned Ant-Man solo movie), Clint Barton/Hawkeye (possible S.H.I.E.L.D. member in The Avengers and the planned S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off movie), and Timothy “Dum Dum” Dugan (high ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. member in The Avengers and lead role in the planned S.H.I.E.L.D. spin-off movie).

Of those listed above I’d personally like to see him as Clint Barton aka Hawkeye.

Some of you may recall Holloway was a fan favorite choice to play Gambit for many years, but that never panned out. I’m a big fan of Holloway and I’ll be following this news closely.
