Shah Rukh Khan in talks to join Marvel Cinematic Universe for upcoming superhero film: Reports

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan may soon be making his Hollywood debut, and in none other than the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Popular Marvel scooper @MarvelLeaks22 reignited speculation by sharing a photo of SRK on their handle and teasing a potential future collaboration. The handle had promised more updates, and according to the latest scoop, talks between Khan and Marvel are indeed underway.
However, the post clarified that the project in question does not involve the upcoming 'Avengers: Doomsday', which is in production. If confirmed, this development would mark SRK’s entry into the MCU, making him one of the few Bollywood actors — alongside Farhan Akhtar, Harish Patel, and Mohan Kapur — to feature in the global franchise.
The tweet read, "NEWS/RUMOR: Shah Rukh Khan ( SRK ) is Rumored to be in early talks with Marvel Studios for a role in a future project ( NOT AVENGERS DOOMSDAY )."

This update comes just months after 'Captain America: Brave New World' star Anthony Mackie named Shah Rukh as his top pick for a Bollywood actor to join the Avengers. Mackie famously called SRK a “damn best” and expressed a desire to “fly” to an island near India. His film that touched upon the emergence of an Eternal in the Indian Ocean, after the events of the 'Eternals', possibly set the plot for an Indian superhero or villain to emerge. However, there is still no confirmation about the same.
Khan’s influence on the Marvel fandom is not new. The actor not only exists as himself in the MCU, as Ms Marvel, Kamala Khan's favourite actor, the song from his film Swades also featured in 'Deadpool 2'.
Benedict Cumberbatch, who portrays Doctor Strange, had also previously endorsed the idea of SRK joining the MCU, acknowledging his talent and stature.
While no official confirmation has come from either Marvel Studios or Shah Rukh Khan, the possibility has fans waiting on the official final announcement.
