Jon Hamm Breaks Silence on Mad Men Reboot Rumors and His Secret New Marvel Role

Hollywood mainstay Jon Hamm is having one of his busiest summers in years, with new commercial work, festival appearances and fresh reflections on his post-Mad Men career keeping the Emmy-winner firmly in the spotlight. New Carvana campaign re-introduces Hamm to millions On 10 June, the actor debuted as the face of Carvana’s first nationwide “Sell Your Car” push, starring in a series of humorous spots that position the online dealer as the painless alternative to traditional trade-ins. Analysts say the multichannel rollout could make Hamm one of the most visible celebrity brand partners of the year, exposing him to a younger, car-buying demographic. Red-carpet stop at New York’s ‘F1’ world premiere Less than a week later, Hamm walked Times Square for the world premiere of the new Formula 1 documentary “F1,” joining racing legends and A-list fans in celebrating the sport’s expanding U.S. footprint. His appearance fueled speculation that he could be circling a motorsports-themed film or series. Candid Men’s Journal interview reveals evolving role choices In a 19 June profile, Hamm admitted he is now “drawn to characters reckoning with reinvention,” a departure from the suave archetypes that defined his Don Draper era. The 54-year-old credited therapy and creative risk-taking for broadening his range, hinting that multiple indie features are in development. ‘Mad Men’ retrospective to headline ATX TV Festival 2025 Festival organizers confirmed this week that Hamm will reunite with former castmates in Austin next May for an on-stage look back at the landmark drama, complete with never-before-seen footage and a live script read. Tickets for the event’s “Mad Men Day” sold out within hours, underscoring ongoing fan appetite for the series and its leading man. SNL milestone underscores Hamm’s comedy chops Earlier this spring, Hamm hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time, anchoring Season 50, Episode 18 on 12 April and earning strong reviews for sketches skewering both political gridlock and Hollywood reboot culture. His dual reputation for drama and comedy continues to make him one of the industry’s most versatile talents. What’s next? Industry insiders point to Apple TV+ dramedy “Your Friends & Neighbors,” already renewed for a second season, and whisper about a possible cameo in the untitled Top Gun streaming spin-off. With new brand partnerships, festival buzz and a self-professed hunger for riskier material, Jon Hamm’s 2025 trajectory suggests that, two decades after Mad Men’s pilot was shot, the actor is writing an equally compelling second act—one commercial, one cinematic and entirely on his own terms.
