19 year old actor Asa Butterfield was very close to becoming Marvel’s new Spider-Man, before they ultimately decided that Tom Holland was the best guy for the job. In a new interview with Flickering Myth, Butterfield revealed that he’s more of a DC Comics fan anyways, and expressed interest in a role in the DC Films Universe.
Check out an excerpt below:
Are you more a DC or Marvel fan?
DC honestly – just from the comics and the cartoon series. I like the grittiness of DC.
Would a role in the DC Extended Universe be something that may peak your interest? Looking at you, maybe playing Robin or Nightwing would fit?
Don’t jinx it! I’m maybe a bit too tall for Robin and about the same height as Ben Affleck but maybe someone who’s taller and sleek and a little sneaky!
They went younger with Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Maybe you could be the new Riddler, he’s tall and sleek!
Stop, you’re getting me excited!
Are you a fan of the new DC films, Batman v Superman, etc.?
I’m a big fan and I’m really excited to see Justice League!
