Adam Driver's reluctance to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has become something of a tradition, according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Despite Marvel's persistent attempts to persuade Driver to take on roles within the franchise, the actor has consistently declined, even when pitched potential blockbuster opportunities. This includes the highly anticipated X-Men reboot, which is currently in development. Feige's persistent Zoom meetings with Driver have become a regular occurrence, often ending with the actor politely declining. While the reasons behind Driver's decision remain unknown, it's unlikely that it stems from a reluctance to star in blockbuster films, given his previous roles in Star Wars and other high-profile projects. Instead, Driver seems to prioritize a balanced filmography, featuring both indie films and blockbusters. His recent projects, such as House of Gucci, Ferrari, and Megalopolis, showcase his versatility as an actor. Interestingly, Driver's interest in returning to the Star Wars franchise remains strong, despite the cancellation of a standalone Kylo Ren movie. This suggests that Driver's decision to turn down Marvel roles may be driven by a desire to explore different avenues in his career, rather than a personal preference for indie films over blockbusters.
