Zac Efron is reportedly up for a role in one of Marvel Studios franchise projects, according to the Latino Review.
The "That Awkward Moment" star is in talks to star in a "massive" Marvel project, but Disney has declined to comment about the rumor. The Latino Review reports speculates he is up for a role in one of four flagship franchises: Netflix's exclusive "Daredevil," "Dr. Strange," "Agents of SHIELD" or "X-Men" character.
"[Efron] was given a script for the project just recently and currently no one knows which part is actually in play," the Latino Review reports. "The only one that knows that answer is his Manager and he will not comment on it."
Efron's latest film with Seth Rogen called "Neighbor" demolished "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" at the box office, grossing $49 million its debut weekend. Efron is slowly transitioning to box-office gold and his pals at Disney could be taking notice.
The film is currently certified fresh with a 78 percent rating give by Rotten Tomatoes. For those unfamiliar with the film, check out what one Rotten Tomatoes user had to say about "Neighbors" and the official trailer below:
"'Neighbors' was exactly the comedy genius that I needed to see. Seth Rogen rarely disappoints and his disgusting and crazy frat comedy not only brings the laughs but gives us new heights for Zac Efron and Rose Byrne. The entire cast is hilarious and some of the small cameos were in great taste and brilliantly paid off. The physical comedy is outrageous and gut busting hilarious. They even managed to put a little heart in it as well. By far the best comedy so far this year and worth watching several times."
