Will Shah Rukh Khan Join Hollywood? Rumors Are Buzzing!
Despite ruling Bollywood for over three decades, Shah Rukh Khan has never appeared in a Hollywood film. He has turned down multiple offers, yet his global fame remains unshaken. His movie trailers are showcased in Dubai theaters, and on his birthday, his image lights up the Burj Khalifa. Now, rumors are swirling that Shah Rukh might finally make his Hollywood debut—none other than in the iconic ‘Avengers’ franchise! Captain America himself, actor Anthony Mackie, recently expressed his desire to have Shah Rukh as part of his ‘Avengers’ team.
But will Shah Rukh agree? He has yet to comment on the matter. However, last year, when asked about working in Hollywood, he stated, "I am a superstar in my own country. If Hollywood offers me a role while maintaining that stature, I would definitely consider it."
Marvel Studios’ ‘Captain America: Brave New World’ is set to release on February 14, starring Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, aka Captain America. During the film’s promotions, Mackie was asked in an interview, "If you could have any Bollywood actor join the Avengers, who would it be?" Without hesitation, he replied, "I think Shah Rukh Khan is the best fit. He’s the one!"
As soon as this statement spread, Shah Rukh’s fans erupted in excitement. With a Hollywood star openly expressing his admiration, fresh speculations have emerged—Is Shah Rukh secretly preparing for a Hollywood venture?
Several of Shah Rukh’s Bollywood colleagues have already made their way to Hollywood. Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and Alia Bhatt have all worked in international films, along with Kareena Kapoor Khan. However, Shah Rukh has remained silent on the matter.
That being said, in a previous interview, he mentioned that his "English diction is clear, and both audiences and critics appreciate his acting. If he finds a suitable role, he is open to working in Hollywood".
