As if being in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, one of the most incredible movie events in all of cinema wasn’t enough (as well as Deep Impact and Back to the Future 2), Elijah Wood has made it known that a live action role in a future Star Wars project would be huge fun after voicing Jace Rucklin in Star Wars Resistance.

I think that’s just inherently fun. I haven’t had a chance to play in a giant sandbox in a while… Star Wars gets precedent because I’m a huge Star Wars fan. So more of that, certainly in the live-action sphere, would be awesome. But working on a Marvel film, I mean, there’s obviously a whole conversation that happens certainly in film Twitter about sort of the cinematic relevance of Marvel. Is it cinema? All this sort of sh-t. And whether you like superhero movies or not, they are inherently fun. And those movies are extremely well made.

I think getting to play again in that universe’s sandbox would be a blast. It’d be totally awesome, because it’s at such an insane scale.
