In the event you like observing massive blockbuster films and listen to the name Adam Driver, what is your first psychological symbol? It is Kylo Ren, is not it? The conflicted villain of the most recent “Megastar Wars” trilogy has been an instrumental a part of the franchise for years now, and his ultimate movie got here out in 2019. Any manner you play it, it is manner too early for Driver to tackle a brand new high-profile franchise position like that nowadays. Positive, even supposing he is introduced as Reed Richards the following day, the MCU tackle “Improbable 4” is not set to drop till 2025 … however is even that sufficient time to omit Kylo?
Positive, there are actors who’ve been ready to transfer freely between massive blockbusters, however Driver has an overly explicit, manic power, and — the entire stretching factor apart — his Reed Richards would visually be simply Kylo Ren in spandex, a distinct haircut, and possibly a small beard. Once more, he is a excellent actor, and he’d without a doubt make it paintings. However out of each unmarried to be had actor available in the market, why pass with the big name who is best identified for the Space of Mouse’s different mega-franchise, and matter your completely excellent “Improbable 4” movie to an onslaught of “When will Reed invent the lightsaber” jokes?
But even so, Driver is at his best in smaller films and stranger roles.
