Daniel Craig Speaks Up on Casting Rumors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Rumors before the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness included that of Daniel Craig making his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the sequel as Balder the Brave and months after the release of the film, Daniel Craig finally speaks up on the issue.

In an interview with Comicbook.com for his upcoming movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Daniel Craig was asked about his alleged casting as Balder the Brave in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and all he could say was, "I should be so lucky."

It turns out that the rumors weren't true as there was no showing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness about anything relating to Balder the Brave and while there are still a lot of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies about to arrive, there is still no confirmation as regards the casting of Craig.
