Having shot to fame in comedy hits during the 1990s, Jim Carrey’s biggest role in recent years has been playing Sonic the Hedgehog villain Doctor Eggman. Well according to the latest rumours, the 59-year-old could well be signed on to play a classic Marvel baddie in the MCU. This news, which should be taken with a pinch of salt, comes from a moderator update post on the Marvel Studios Spoilers subreddit.
The leak reads: “Jim Carrey cast as MODOK for multiple Disney Plus shows, possibly as early as She-Hulk.
“(We’ve also been told recently that MODOK appears in Ant-Man 3, but that’s unverified.
“This user also stated that Jonathan Majors listens to his Kang theme song on set).”
Marvel Comics fans will know MODOK stands for Mental/Mobile/Mechanised Organism Designed Only for Killing.

The Marvel villain, aka George Tarleton, underwent mutagenic medical experimentation, which saw his head grow to a huge size along with his intelligence.
However, the side effects also resulted in a stunted body, meaning MODOK needs to use a hoverchair.
While Carrey could be playing the MCU’s live-action MODOK in the She-Hulk (2022) Disney+ show and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quatumania (2023), he’s already portrayed in animation.
Patton Oswalt voices a tongue-in-cheek take on the character in the adult Disney+ comedy M.O.D.O.K, which is set in another universe to the MCU.
