Superhero films have taken a lot of flak lately, but that's not stopping even Academy Award-winning Matthew McConaughey from considering them for his next big role. 

In a recent interview with Variety, Matthew McConaughey told the industry mag that he's been reading both Marvel and DC scripts—but none have really been quite for him just yet.

“I’ve read some Marvel and DC scripts and I’ve talked about working with them on some scripts, none of which I’ll share with with you what they are—or were," said McConaughey. "Yeah, I’ve circled some of those. Nothing has been right for me yet. But I’m sure open to it.” 

But still: Not quite a role we ever thought of for the seasoned actor, but he's definitely keeping an open mind—just as long as it's the right movie and story.

"It’s very simple for me. I look at the script. Is the opportunity exciting? Is the money that comes with it exciting? Sure. Is it the possibility of going, 'Hey, you can get on a train and it can be a franchise and you could do 3, 4, 5, and have a great time as some kind of superhero or anti-hero.' But I would also look at something like that and say, 'Hey, in success that means you are on the train for a while.' Contractually, you’re going to return to the character over and over. It’s something I asked myself is it something I’d want to return to. Would I be excited to go back and put the shoes on the character again? Going and doing the press tour with that group of people again? I always ask myself those questions again. It starts with the story and character."
