“I would love to get that call,” Lewis told Variety. “It’s a brilliant idea. I’m here. I’m here. I’m ready.”

Lewis recently received an Emmy nomination for his work in Lessons in Chemistry and he can be seen in the new Max movie Salem’s Lot. Next year, he’ll appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Thunderbolts.
