Summary
Kevin Feige said Adam Driver has repeatedly declined offers to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, calling their recurring Zoom meetings and rejections a "long-lived tradition."
Feige said Marvel still wants to work with Driver but did not disclose which parts he was offered, adding that the actor is cordial and usually direct about his feelings.
X-Men reboot speculation has linked Driver to Marvel's developing film, though the studio has confirmed no casting and The Hollywood Reporter said last year Jake Schreier was in talks to direct.
Driver has avoided the MCU despite major franchise work as Kylo Ren in three Star Wars sequel films, while balancing blockbuster projects with indie roles.
