Method Man Wants To Join The Marvel Cinematic Universe As This X-Man

Method Man is ready to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, CASSIUS reports. During an interview with the publication, Meth expressed his desire to enter the acclaimed franchise. Specifically, he asserted that if he had the chance to join as the X-Men’s Bishop, he would kill it. Plus, he’s already done all his “research” on the mysterious mutant.

“Those guys at the MCU, they know their stuff. I haven’t had any problems with any of their casting choices so far,” the Tical emcee said. “So whoever gets the job… I think Omar Sy did an excellent job as Bishop [in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past], but that was before the MCU. If they chose him again, I think he’d kill it. There’s a few people out there. But if they’re willing to give me a shot, I’d go for it. Plus, I’ve done all the research already.”

Back in 2020, the rapper, né Clifford Smith, Jr., posted himself cosplaying Bishop on his Instagram. The now-deleted post showed a comic book-accurate depiction of the gun-toting hero, kitted out in his 90s-era costume.

A year before that, famous graphic designer BossLogic imagined what Meth would look like as Bishop in the MCU. “So, Method Man is one of my favs so I thought I’d try to hook this up #bishop #xmen #mcu.”

Lucas Bishop debuted in Uncanny X-Men #282 in 1991. Whilce Portacio and John Byrne created the X-Men’s enforcer. He is most known for his role as a member of Xavier’s Security Enforcers in an alternate timeline. But, he travels back to the 20th century, joining the X-Men, a team that exists as folklore in his timeline. As a part of the mutant team, Storm served as his teacher, educating him on his new team and immense powers. Bishop also served as Professor X‘s unofficial bodyguard.

Elsewhere in the interview, Method Man spoke about Hip-Hop’s evolution. The Wu-Tang Clan member asserted that the mighty genre is responsible for setting trends for many cultures worldwide.

“You seen how it went from a million-dollar business to a billion-dollar business. Just know this, Hip-Hop sets the trend for a lot of the cultures. A lot of the fashion, whether it be Timberland boots or those ugly-a** Balenciaga socks sneakers, Hip-Hop did that.”

“There’s no denying that this music genre has changed the landscape of how music is even listened to or how music is accepted,” he added. “They keep moving the goalposts on us ’cause every time we get a little win it’s something [that] drags us back, or they put something in the forefront that doesn’t represent all of us, just a small group of us. But you live and you learn. In those 20 years, I’ve seen people come, I’ve seen people go. And I am glad that I am still here, not just here but relevant enough to be mentioned amongst some of the greats that came before me.”
