Ryan Phillippe has hinted that he could soon be joining the Marvel Studios universe as part of one of its Netflix television shows.
Phillippe is currently starring in the mystery series Secrets and Lies on ABC, which airs Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter.
The actor revealed to The Howard Stern Show today (April 29) that he is in active discussions with Marvel about a potential series.
"Marvel is interested in talking about Netflix, a series possibly," Phillippe said, adding: "The Daredevil series is great, right?"
Netflix recently premiered the first of five inter-connected live-action Marvel shows with Daredevil, to be followed by AKA Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and a team-up Defenders show.
It is already known that Krysten Ritter will have the title role in AKA Jessica Jones and Mike Colter will lead Luke Cage, but Iron Fist casting announcements have not been made yet.
