On Wednesday (Aug. 30), CASSIUS published a cover feature with Method Man, who opened up about his hip hop legacy, growing acting resume, and much more. At one point, he was asked about a rumor that positioned him as a future character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — specifically the energy-absorbing mutant Bishop. As it turned out, it was the Staten Island talent himself that sparked the gossip to see if he “could hook something.”

“Those guys at the MCU, they know their stuff. I haven’t had any problems with any of their casting choice so far,” Meth 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 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.”

He also spoke on hip hop’s overall growth and impact as its 50th year of existence begins to wind down. “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,” the Wu-Tang legend explained.

As previously reported by REVOLT, Method Man has been transparent about his battle with mental health issues much earlier this career. “I was just angry. It went from this childhood joy, to this euphoric feeling of celebrity, to feeling inadequate and not good enough,” he stated in an interview with Men’s Health. “That’s where the depression and stuff came in. I didn’t even know I had been depressed since I was a youngster… In hindsight, you delve deeper into your psyche and see where certain things come from.”
