'Doctor Who' David Tennant: 'I could star in Fantastic Four movie'
David Tennant has suggested that he could play Reed Richards in a Fantastic Four movie.
The Doctor Who star was discussing his interest in comic book films with Collider, when he teased that he is about the right age to portray Mr Fantastic on the big screen.
"I'm a bit old for a lot of [the comic book roles] now, which is a terrible, alarming truth," Tennant joked to the website.
He continued: "Who could I be? I could probably still do Reed Richards - Mr Fantastic. I don't know."
Reed Richards has previously been played by Ioan Gruffudd on the big screen in Marvel's first two Fantastic Four movies.
The Fantastic Four film series is currently being rebooted by 20th Century Fox and director Josh Trank of Chronicle fame.
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies writer Seth Grahame-Smith is working on a script for the project, and X-Men: First Class helmer Matthew Vaughn is attached to produce the movie.
Marvel's Fantastic Four will reportedly begin production in September , with casting announcements to be made soon.
The movie will hit cinemas on March 6, 2015.

'Fast & Furious 6' director Justin Lin 'won't return for seventh film'.

Lin has apparently cited "timing" for his decision not to return for Fast & Furious 7, which is reportedly being lined up for a summer 2014 release.

According to Deadline, Walk The Line star Phoenix is the first choice to play Henry Sturgess, a man who saves the teenage Lincoln from vampires and teaches him how to slay the bloodsuckers.

Timur Bekmambetov will direct Vampire Hunter, while Tim Burton is producing.

Stewart, Agron linked to Lois Lane role

Kristen Stewart and Glee star Dianna Agron are reportedly in the running to play Lois Lane in the new Superman movie.
According to What's Playing, Rachel McAdams, Jessica Biel and Malin Akerman, the star of Superman director Zack Snyder's Watchmen, are also in contention to play Clark Kent's Daily Planet colleague and love interest.
A source claimed that Stewart is unlikely to sign up for the superhero picture because she has "too many other juicy offers", while Agron has been "getting in the door" to audition for several high-profile movies.
Anne Hathaway has allegedly been removed from the Lois Lane shortlist after winning the role of Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises.
Margot Kidder, Teri Hatcher, Erica Durance and Kate Bosworth have previously portrayed Lois Lane on screen.
Henry Cavill will play the title role in Superman, due out in cinemas in December 2012.
Howard Marks: 'I have no regrets'

Howard Marks has claimed that he does not regret anything he did as a drugs smuggler.
The Mr Nice author told Metro that the positives of his past life more than made up for the negatives.
Marks said: "It was well worth it. The gains to me personally outweighed the losses."
When his years in prison away from his family were raised, he added: "Yes, even given all of that stuff. It did get stressful. I don't want to underestimate the suffering but there's suffering in everyone's life. None of us get an easy ride."
Asked if he had any regrets about things he did, Marks replied: "No. If you regret something then you want to turn the clock back and change something and I don't feel that."
