"I don’t know if it's a possibility," he said. "I mean, at one point or another, being able to be in the Marvel Universe was like a dream come true and if there was an opportunity for me to come back, of course I would

"I'm not one of those guys like 'oh no, I would never.' Working with Ryan [Coogler], what we did on that first project and what Marvel does as a whole is something that, as a fan, as a nerd and geek that I am, I just love to see those movies and those characters come to life."
