Al Pacino was a big fan of this summer’s blockbuster, Guardians of the Galaxy, but that doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily see him in a Marvel Studios film.

Al Pacino made some waves this fall when he gushed about how much he enjoyed Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy after seeing it with his kids.

During an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, Pacino said he’s taken a meeting with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.

Pacino admitted he was surprised at the buzz his appreciation of Guardians got.

"“Why wouldn’t I like a movie like that?” Pacino asked. “Why wouldn’t I appreciate a movie like that? I’m not necessarily going to be in it, but at the same time, there’s value to it and you can see it.”"

Pacino has met with the Marvel folks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he will be in an upcoming release.

"“It’s a Marvel how these things happen,” Pacino joked. “I would imagine either there’s something he feels is right for me, or … “"

At that point, Pacino’s phone rang, interrupting the thought.

The 74-year-old Pacino turned a bad Foghorn Leghorn imitation into a Best Actor Oscar in 1993 for Scent of a Woman, his first win after six previous Oscar nominations, including four previous bids for Best Actor and two as Best Supporting Actor.

He was up for Best Supporting Actor for Glengarry Glen Ross the same year he won for Scent.

Pacino rose to fame in his role as Michael Corleone in The Godfather films and also for his role as Tony Montana in Scarface.
