Viola Davis Reveals She Would "Absolutely" Join The MCU: "My Daughter Is A Marvel Fanatic"

Viola Davis is pitching herself to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as 'Iron Mania,' and revealing that she's seen most of the MCU movies 'five, six times' because her daughter is a massive fan.

In her new film G20, the Oscar-winning actress plays the president of the United States and is thrown into a Die Hard-esque hostage situation at an international conference, leading one character to jokingly refer to her as "Captain America." She's also one of the only actors to play the same role in both the previous incarnation of the DC movie universe (which launched with Man of Steel) and James Gunn's retooled DCU, as she voiced Waller in the new continuity's first project, Creature Commandos. Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark perished in 2019's Avengers: Endgame and hasn't been replaced with a new Iron Man since his death (whereas we've seen a new Captain America and a new Thor via Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson and Natalie Portman's Jane Foster).
