Daniel Radcliffe Expresses Interest In Playing THE FLASH

When asked which comic book character he would like to play, former Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe reveals his interest in portraying the DC Comics character The Flash.

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?

That'd be interesting.

EHhh....he'll always be Harry in my mind

As if The Flash couldn't get any lamer...
LordCole - 5/23/2012, 10:49 AM
@Firg, or Jay? Likely not Jay as he is always shown up as an older guy...
DanteSparda - 5/23/2012, 10:59 AM
Silly Potter, Flash doesn't use magic, go back to fighting Voldemort and the Woman in black.
JatevinM - 5/23/2012, 11:00 AM
I could see him as Bart. He isn't funny enough for Wally and not old enough for Jay or Barry.
Marjoh63 - 5/23/2012, 11:02 AM
He would fit as a Peter Parker IMO
RorMachine - 5/23/2012, 11:10 AM
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.
AGENTJAY1130 - 5/23/2012, 11:11 AM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

DukeAcureds - 5/23/2012, 11:13 AM
This is bad, duders. He's a big BO draw, technically speaking. Shit. This bad. Bad.
tazmaniak - 5/23/2012, 11:14 AM
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.
darthstern - 5/23/2012, 11:14 AM
what he's like 5'3"
midget flash!!!

MrChuff - 5/23/2012, 11:20 AM
Daniel, go away, mate....
Peteyparker - 5/23/2012, 11:20 AM
.................O_o.....Someone alert DC and tell them to lock their doors.....
schneider625 - 5/23/2012, 11:21 AM
Hell NO!!!!
TH3TRUTH007 - 5/23/2012, 11:21 AM
watch him pull a magic stick out of his ass at the speed of light
marvel72 - 5/23/2012, 11:22 AM
wrong choice for the flash.
Sortis - 5/23/2012, 11:23 AM
IIII don't think so
Thegoddamnrobin - 5/23/2012, 11:26 AM
I wonder how does he sounds like if he speaks in american accent
TheRedSkull - 5/23/2012, 11:28 AM
May as well say to him "Yeah fairplay for being intrigued and interested in that character Daniel"...because this will never come into fruition...ever...of all time...no
Danbojohnj - 5/23/2012, 11:29 AM
Sorry Dan but can't see it myself.He woould make a good Johnathan Harker if they ever make a proper version of Dracula.
UltimaRex - 5/23/2012, 11:29 AM
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.
Greengo - 5/23/2012, 11:31 AM
DA FAWQ?
mrHJK - 5/23/2012, 11:31 AM
Not a bad idea actually. I could see him as Wally. My pick for Bart is NPH himself.
Watcher - 5/23/2012, 11:32 AM
oh please....


RunDTC - 5/23/2012, 11:36 AM
what? no no no no no no no no........





DEADP0000L - 5/23/2012, 11:41 AM
i can see him play the role.
Christuffer - 5/23/2012, 11:42 AM
If the movie did well, it would become my new favorite CBM. Daniel is a great actor
TheDesertGorilla - 5/23/2012, 11:42 AM
Hahahaha, not rich enough huh wizard boy?
GiantNerd0720 - 5/23/2012, 11:44 AM
This idea is [frick]ing ridiculous.

That is all.
GiantNerd0720 - 5/23/2012, 11:46 AM
Gosling was my choice for Barry Allen too. He would own that shit.
HelaGood - 5/23/2012, 11:47 AM


thats about as dumb as Ryan Reynolds playing Green Lantern... oh wait...
HelaGood - 5/23/2012, 11:47 AM
Gosling would be a great barry allen!!
SLK - 5/23/2012, 11:51 AM
CALM DOWN, scaremongers! He was only asked about it! And just answered the question without any big excitement. That doesn't even mean he wants to play the role! He just answered the [frick]ing question!
SLK - 5/23/2012, 11:53 AM
And, by the way, Ryan Gosling sucks as any Superhero! I would rather see Radcliffe!
rock209 - 5/23/2012, 11:54 AM
god no
lntrn8 - 5/23/2012, 11:55 AM
OK, if there is a buzz about it & a solid script & team are formed . . . then let this project gain momentum again. WB has to take risks (after Green Lantern movie) and go for a Flash project. Otherwise it'll be Batman & Superman again for another 20 years.
CampBlood - 5/23/2012, 11:56 AM
the only person i want to play the flahs is sean william scott as wally west
MrSuperheromoviefan - 5/23/2012, 12:01 PM
sorry, no
JDUKE25 - 5/23/2012, 12:03 PM
I like Daniel, but I can't see him playing the Flash.
TheJoker52 - 5/23/2012, 12:04 PM
@ RunDTC are you casting the CW version of flash !!!
jonedc - 5/23/2012, 12:06 PM
In a word no!
vtopa - 5/23/2012, 12:08 PM
Hell no. He's 5'5"

Also, I love how he doesn't know what comic book characters are left...uhmmm, about 99% of them dude.
JatevinM - 5/23/2012, 12:08 PM
Its funny that alot of you are saying no only because he played Harry Potter. Get over it the guy can act. If anything any movie he is in has the potential to draw in the Harry Potter audience.
vtopa - 5/23/2012, 12:09 PM
Also, Chris Pine would make a perfect NOVA.

"RDJ is only 5'-8" and cue the Bane comments.."

What does RDJ's height have to do with anything? RDJ plays Ironman. His power comes from a suit of armor. His physical height/stature has nothing to do with his presence on screen, because all that matters is the presence the armor gives him. The suit makes up for any lack of height he might have. Flash is a whole different story, while he does not have to be big and strong, you still don't want a shorty speeding around taking on the rogues.
