Earlier, the Captain America: Brave New World star Anthony Mackie picked Shah Rukh as his top choice if a Bollywood actor were to join the Avengers. Mackie not only called SRK the “damn best”, he also expressed his desire to “fly” to an island near India. But even he did not confirm SRK’s presence in the MCU.
Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Doctor Strange in the Marvel Universe, had expressed the desire of Shah Rukh Khan joining the MCU, praising his talent and stature.
Marvel has also showed its love for SRK previously. In the series Ms. Marvel, they paid tribute to him by playing Shah Rukh’s famous song “Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera” from his movie Swades.
Even though nothing is officially confirmed yet, SRK fans can’t wait to see their favourite star in a MCU movie.
