However, as well as being an actor, D’Arcy is also a feature film director. His debut,Made in Italy, is set to hit some cinemas next week. Whilespeaking to FandomWireto promote the film, D’Arcy also let slip he would totally take up the reins on an MCU project, if given the opportunity.

He was posed with the question asking if he would return to theMarveluniverse, to direct. After a pause, he responded cheerily:
“I mean, I’m not going to say no to that.”
D’Arcy has proven himself thoroughly adept behind the camera withMade in Italy. However, it’s unclear how he would handle the huge technical and CGI aspects of shooting a blockbuster.
It also remains a mystery which character D’Arcy himself would like to tell a story about. Although a feature length Jarvis and Peggy Carter film could be an opportunity to round off Season Two’s loose ends, it also doesn’t serve much of a purpose to expand the MCU.

Perhaps D’Arcy would like the opportunity to introduce a new character into the MCU. His notorious wit and humor are evident in his screenplay forMade in Italyand it’s bound to be something he carries over to future projects.
Whilst speaking about directing again in the future, D’Arcy explained how he doesn’t want to remain set in one film genre:
“That would be a dream for me, to not be stuck in one genre. I just love the movies. If I can work in a number of different ways, that’s great. The bottom line is that you just wanna tell stories that touch people, or move people in some way. The only thing I would probably say is that I’m not going to do a horror movie, because they don’t really interest me.”
