While promoting the DVD/Blu-Ray release of The Woman In Black in an interview with Collider, former Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is asked about his thoughts on the growing popularity of comic book movies, as well as if there was a character he would like to play. His answer may surprise you.

"Yeah, absolutely. I dunno who’s left, I mean a lot of comic books have...they’ve all been done. I don’t think anyone’s done The Flash yet, and that’s one I’d probably have a go at. Other then that, I’m not sure which comic book heroes are left.

Warner Bros. has been developing a Flash movie off and on over the years. Last we heard, the studio had a "solid script". However, after the non-success of Green Lantern last year, many are not expecting WB to actively pursue many other DC characters beyond Batman or Superman.

As for whether or not Radcliffe should play The Flash, I'm personally not fond of the idea. If WB decides to move forward with an adaptation, though, it wouldn't be hard to see them be interested in casting Radcliffe (considering they previously worked with him on the Harry Potter franchise). But would you like to see Radcliffe play The Flash?

I could see him as Bart. He isn't funny enough for Wally and not old enough for Jay or Barry.

Nice that you're a fan Danny boy, but no. That being said he was pretty good in Woman In Black, I'm sure there is some CBM role he could suit.

Sorry to be the one to burst his bubble, but he's only 5'5 and isn't going to get any taller. I doubt a superhero role is in his future.

If JLA has the Atom, he's in.

If not, no. Though WB would probably cast him for the green anyway.

And yes, JLA is coming.

Armie Hammer for Superman.

Not a bad idea actually. I could see him as Wally. My pick for Bart is NPH himself.
