The Martian star has reportedly been added to the wish list of actors on the project - a drama series based on the doomed journey of the Titan sub to the Titanic wreckage. Star of romcom The Big Sick and Marvel star Kumail Nanjiani is also tipped to be on the wish-list alongside Matt, but more Hollywood actors are set to be added as plans for the project are yet to be confirmed. Titanic director James Cameron is said to be "ready" to bring the disaster to the small screen and is reportedly in talks with a major streaming platform about the production just weeks after the disaster happened. A source told The Sun: "The Titan disaster is already being looked at as a major series for one of the world's biggest streamers — and James is first choice for director. It is a subject close to his heart. "He told the story of the Titanic so compassionately it feels like a natural step for him to take this on. Retracing the steps of those on board the Titan is a massive undertaking but there would be a lot of time, money and resources dedicated to it." All five passengers on board the small submersible lost their lives after their journey went catastrophically wrong. It's thought the vessel imploded "in under a second" while attempting to dive to the bottom of the ocean. Cameron, who is an expert on deep-sea exploration, was vocal about the Titan mission when the search and rescue team was frantically looking for the at-the-time missing vessel. Following the announcement that debris had been found of Titan, Cameron told BBC the Coast Guard search "felt like a prolonged and nightmarish charade where people are running around talking about banging noises and talking about oxygen and all this other stuff".){kind=link}
