The 74-year-old Oscar-winning actor was a guest on [the _Happy Sad Confused_ podcast](http://happysadconfused.wolfpop.com/audio/20427/al-pacino) on Monday where he teased a possible role in an upcoming film from the _Guardians of the Galaxy_ and _The Avengers_ studio. “I’ve met with the Marvel guy,” said Pacino, referring to the studio’s president Feige. “It’s a marvel how things happen.” He continued,“I would imagine that either there’s something he feels is right for me —” before he was interrupted by a ringing phone. He then joked that the call was from the studio telling him to quit talking. He said that he watched _Guardians of the Galaxy_ with his children. “It was just inventive, funny, strong, the production of it, the ingenuity of it,” he said. “Why wouldn’t I like a movie like that, appreciate a movie like that? I’m not necessarily going to be in it, but there’s value to it.” Though Pacino didn’t reveal further details about the meeting, Marvel certainly has a lot of upcoming projects in need of casting. The studio has a total of [nine new comic book movies](http://time.com/3544262/marvel-phase-3-captain-marvel-black-panther-avengers/) in the works, with releases scheduled as far in the future as October, 2019. \[[_Happy Sad Confused_](http://happysadconfused.wolfpop.com/audio/20427/al-pacino)\] Al Pacino Says He's Discussed Guardian of the Galaxy With Marvel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3627483/al-pacino-marvel-studios/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3627483/al-pacino-marvel-studios/"},"headline":"Al Pacino Says He's Discussed Guardians of the Galaxy with Marvel","datePublished":"2014-12-10T12:46:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:43:30.556Z","description":"The Oscar-winning actor suggested Marvel had a role for him","url":"https://time.com/3627483/al-pacino-marvel-studios/","keywords":["movies","Marvel","comic books","guardians of the galaxy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt024b8ef1cc79403c/69876dee5f570f4756b141a5/al-pacino.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan Gibson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/megan-gibson/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt024b8ef1cc79403c/69876dee5f570f4756b141a5/al-pacino.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Al Pacino","caption":"Al Pacino at Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 7, 2014.","creditText":"Aaron Harris—WireImage/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3627483/al-pacino-marvel-studios/","name":"Al Pacino Says He's Discussed Guardians of the Galaxy with Marvel"}}]}] ```
