Kevin Smith is the go-to guy for comic book nerds. The cult filmmaker has a reputation that stands up to even the biggest fans, and Smith has transformed his love of superheroes into a career. Some of Hollywood?s biggest stars look to Smith for advice on what comic book characters they can play, and Matt Damon may be the latest leading man to approach Smith.
At New York Comic Con, ComicBook.com?s Brandon Davis had a chance to speak with Damon about his upcoming film, The Great Wall. The two talked cinematic magic before the topic turned to superhero flicks, and Damon admitted he didn?t know what characters were out there for him to play.
?The comic book fans would know better than me if there was any cool character I could come and play,? he said. ?Maybe I?ll call Kevin Smith and ask him if there?s anything out there.?
Of course, Smith would surely jump at the chance to mentor Damon about his superhero debut. The actor has previously said he?s not particularly interested in suiting up for such roles, but the idea of playing a villain or overseers could pique his interest.
