Shah Rukh Khan’s fans react on social media
Shah Rukh Khan’s fans expressed their excitement on X as soon as the post was published.
“MCU rumours don’t just create hype. They break the internet and awaken global star power in its purest form. #SRK: King for a reason,” one user wrote.
“SRK in the MCU would be insane, man, I need that, we need that,” another chimed in.
“If the rumours about SRK joining the MCU are true, then the world isn’t ready for this level of epicness. SRK + Marvel bring it on!” a third person commented.
The rumors that Shah Rukh Khan would be joining Marvel Studios comes after actor Anthony Mackie referred to SRK as his favorite Bollywood star in Captain America: Brave New World. He even selected him as one of the Avengers’ leading candidates. Mackie also referred to SRK as “a damn best” and expressed a desire to accompany him to an Indian island.
Prior to his inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Benedict Cumberbatch, who is most renowned for his roles as Doctor Strange in the Marvel films and Sherlock Holmes in the television series Sherlock, hailed Shah Rukh as “great.”
