Karl Urban has already played on Marvel Cinematic Universe character. Could he come back as another?

ComicBook.com attended Dallas Fan Days 2018. Urban was a guest there and during his panel, a fan asked which Marvel Comics character he'd like to play

"Skurge," Urban said, jokingly referring to the Marvel Comics character he did play in 2017's Thor: Ragnarok. "Skurge'd be a good one to be. I don't know if I could ever do it, but if I could, it'd be that one."

More seriously, Urban admitted that he hadn't really given the idea of returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as another character much thought.

"Listen, I don't know," he said. "That's a really great question. I don't know, I haven't even thought about the possibility of doing anything else in that world. And I don't know if you even can, once you play something in the Marvel Universe, I don't know if you can come back and be someone else. Can you?"

Maybe he can't come back as a new Marvel character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Urban would love a shot at playing a different Marvel character in a Deadpool sequel.

"Yes, I will," Urban said. "I'd love to be in a Deadpool movie. I've seen Julian Dennison [who's from] New Zealand was in Deadpool 2. I love Deadpool and I certainly, when I watched the first one I saw that there were similarities, particularly in the opening sequence, that reminded me a lot of, and I think they drew some inspiration from, Dredd, at least cinematographically the way Dredd was shot. Sorry. Dredd was a little bit before it's time in terms of being an "R" rated comic book movie.

"I thought Deadpool was fantastic and Ryan Reynolds is just a beast. Yeah. He did such a good job on that."
