Now that Lost is off the air, its cast is currently looking for new jobs. And Marvel may have had their eye on at least one of the Losties for a potential franchise.
What franchise we don’t know yet, but we hear the star they are chatting with is Josh “Sawyer” Holloway.
It seems Marvel took notice: it is rumored that the studio talking with Holloway about starring in an upcoming film. There’s no word on which character he might play, but it is exciting news nonetheless. Marvel Studios is really the place to be if you’re looking to launch a film career (though the pay might not be great). Hit the jump for speculation on roles that might fit the Holloway profile, including Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Dum Dum Dugan.
I still want Nathan Fillion for Ant Man, and while Holloway has a rough look that would suit DumDum Dugan, he is supposed to be a WWII vet, and Holloway is just too young to do that.
That leaves Hawkeye. And while Hawkeye is a natural leader and he grows into his position as a superhero he has a rough past and a dark side as well.
I hope that they get him to play Clint Barton in the Avengers, and then have this charismatic star carry on in a Hawkeye film… with Black Widow at his side.
