GAME OF THRONES' Kit Harington Would "Love" To Play A Superhero...Specifically BATMAN
The majority of the cast of Game of Thrones would be ideal for any number of superhero roles, Kit Harington (a.k.a. Jon Snow) included. Here, he expresses his interest in starring in a comic book movie, but specifically as a much lighter version of the Caped Crusader...
Kit Harington in a comic book movie? Yes please. He's going to be pretty busy with Game of Thrones for at least a few more years though, but the genre is one he's keen on getting involved with in the near future. "I’d love to play a superhero," the actor told MTV News while promoting Testament of Youth. "I would love to play Batman." That role belongs to Ben Affleck of course, but asked whether he would bring Jon Snow's brooding qualities to the role, Harington surprisingly replied: "I’d camp him up again. He’s gone way too dark and serious. I’d like proper spandex. Superhero movies got all too serious — they need to get silly again." What do you guys think?
