In a surprising turn of events, actor Kevin Spacey has once again resurfaced as his former "House of Cards" character, Frank Underwood, teasing a potential presidential run in a recent interview. Spacey, who had been effectively canceled during the #MeToo movement, made the announcement in a 7-minute video chat with Tucker Carlson that was released on Sunday.

Although Spacey never explicitly confirmed his intention to run for President of the United States, he strongly hinted at the idea, remarking that the country needs someone like him during these dark times. When directly asked by Carlson about his candidacy, Spacey stopped short of making a firm commitment.

This annual Frank Underwood shtick has become somewhat of a tradition for Spacey, who has been attempting to mount a comeback following the scandal that led to his removal from the final season of "House of Cards." Despite facing numerous criminal and civil cases both in the United States and abroad, Spacey has managed to evade serious legal consequences. Nevertheless, he continues to battle lawsuits from his accusers.

The video interview showcases Spacey's unwavering commitment to acting, albeit in a diminished spotlight compared to his earlier mainstream success. The actor's portrayal of Frank Underwood has garnered both criticism and curiosity since he first adopted the character several years ago.

Given the controversial nature of Spacey's past, his aspirations for political office are likely to be met with skepticism and opposition. However, it remains to be seen whether this latest stunt will aid in his quest for redemption or further cement his status as a figure of controversy.

As the public eagerly awaits further developments, one thing is certain: Kevin Spacey's enigmatic persona and his unexpected return as Frank Underwood have once again captured the attention of the public, leaving us puzzled and intrigued about his future endeavors.
