"Mark Ruffalo may have lined up his next big role, and it would be quite the change from what he's been up to in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as of late in movies like Avengers: Endgame. The actor is said to be up for one of the lead roles in HBO's Parasite TV series, which is currently in the early stages of development.
According to a new report, Mark Ruffalo is being eyed as a series lead for the Parasite TV show. At present, it isn't clear who he would be playing, as the movie is going to be adapted for English-speaking audiences and will be a relatively loose interpretation of Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning thriller. It's suggested Ruffalo could take on a part that mirrors the one Song Kang-ho played in the movie as the head of a lower-income family. HBO did pour a little cold water on the report with a statement, but they certainly didn't deny that Ruffalo is in the mix.

"The HBO limited series inspired by Parasite is in the early stages of development, and to speculate on any characters or casting is wildly premature."
This would make for a potentially great start for the HBO limited series. Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice) is heading up the creative team alongside Bong Joon-ho. It's expected that Parasite will run for five or six episodes. The movie centered on a lower-income family who infiltrates an upper-class household, which comes with surprising consequences."
