TMZ Sports caught up with St-Pierre in Los Angeles. He was in the U.S. because he underwent a surgery on a torn ACL he suffered during training. The TMZ reporter praised St-Pierre on his performance in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and asked if he was willing to do another acting job. St-Pierre said that he had always been a fan of "Star Wars," but he doesn't want to portray the role of a superhero. Instead, he revealed he would rather play as a villain.
"Villains are way more charismatic," St-Pierre told TMZ.
Would St-Pierre embrace a new career other than being an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter? Only time will really tell. St-Pierre has previously revealed in an interview that he had so much fun shooting the Marvel movie, and he was hoping that it wouldn't be the last acting role for him.

St-Pierre stepped away from the octagon ring in December 2013 following his controversial victory against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. The welterweight title that St-Pierre has successfully defended since August 2007 has a new owner in Hendricks, after the former defeated Robbie Lawler at UFC 171.
It is still unclear when St-Pierre will ever set foot back into the UFC. He once told The Canadian Press that his ACL surgery shouldn't be a factor that will determine his comeback in the octagon ring. "I didn't plan to comeback to competition before 2015," said the 32-year-old mixed martial artist.St-Pierre said that he will only be better, especially now that he has "two bionic knees."
St-Pierre had surgery on his left knee on April 9, 2013. In December 2011, he injured his right knee that had also resulted in a reconstructive surgery.
