The actor Kumail Nanjiani has already been in sagas like Marvel and Star Wars, but he wants to complete his filmography with DC Comics and his choice is quite particular.
Kumail Nanjiani became famous thanks to Silicon Valley of HBO Maxthen his film career has not stopped growing and we have been able to see it in films like The Eternals of Marvel Studios where he plays The edge and the series Kenobi where he gives life to Haja Estree. Now, you want to jump to DC Comics and this has been revealed in a recent interview at HSD.
“I would love to address something: Do you know DC Comics? Do you know who Ambush Bug is? Not well. Well, I want to do an Ambush Bug movie… It’s like this news reporter. Is rare”.
“It’s because there’s no pressure on it, you know? If I do Superman, everyone has a different idea of Superman and if it doesn’t match, they’re upset. Ambush Bug, nobody cares.”
Strange choice, but it would certainly be interesting to see this character in the movies.
