In an in-depth interview with Collider about The Muppets (click on the link below to check it out) the comedic actor revealed that there's one more thing he'd love to do in future...play a super villain in a comic book movie!

Is there anything left you would like to do?

I’d like to be President of The United States. [laughs] No, I’d like to play the villain in a superhero movie. I think I’d be really good at it. I’m like 20% creepy. [laughter] No, I really am. I have 20% creepy. I exclude it from this movie. But look, when you watch Sarah Marshall, the Dracula musical is funny, but it’s 20% creepy. So I really want to play a villain in a superhero movie.






While Segel may have been saying the above quite jokingly, are there any comic book movie roles in particular that you think he'd be well suited to? I'm a huge fan of the actor and can't actually think of anyone in particular he could play, but be sure to share your ideas and thoughts on his comments in the usual place!

After reviewing the poll, i've come to a conclusion...You Mother Fcukers Are On Crack!

Listen, I love Jason Segal, HIMYM is one of my favorite shows and i've enjoyed every movie i've seen him in, but......a big FCUK NO to him portraying some campy @ss villian in one of my beloved CBM's.

he should work on learning how to act first, or just stick to be the awkward guy in comedies.

why do comedians want to [frick] up cbm.. didn't seth rogan do enough damage. hahahaha

a villain that always wears a mask. Dr Claw? wtf. I like him but cant put his face to a known CB villains. Maybe someday, not turned off by the idea and if he is passionate enough to make it happen then who knows. He could be the next Heath Ledger, do enough drugs to reboot his system and then self destruct. Better call an Olson twin
