5 Marvel Characters Brad Pitt Would Be Perfect To Play

Hyperion

Metro Man – Brad Pitt’s aforementioned character from the 2010 movie Megamind – was, essentially, an animated parody of the DC movies’ Superman. By voicing this boisterous, virtually unstoppable superhero, the actor is already primed to bring the character often referred to as the Man of Steel of the Marvel Universe to the big screen for the first time.

There has been a lot of talk since mid-2020 that Marvel Studios was considering Brad Pitt for the role of Zhib-Ran, otherwise known as Hyperion – an extraterrestrial with flight, super strength, and almost every other superpower under the sun. There are many different versions of the character within the Marvel Multiverse, but the one most likely to be integrated into the MCU is a member of the Eternals, because the immortal heroes have their own upcoming movie. However, I would like to see Pitt play Hyperion’s more villainous persona, as an opportunity to savagely poke fun at his similarities to Kal-El.
