Friends Star Mulled for Fantastic Four Film?
Will Paul Rudd (Mike from NBC’s Friends) be cast in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie? Read on…
Paul Rudd, who plays Mike –Phoebe’s husband— on NBC’s Friends, says he may be up for a role in the Fantastic Four film.
A Superhero Hype scooper said he asked Rudd about rumors he was up for Superman. Rudd reportedly replied: "I never tried to get Superman, they never contacted me about playing Superman, and while I would love the career boost, I was just a name thrown into the hat and promptly removed. I have recently been contacted about the Fantastic Four movie, but I don't think I'll be playing the lead or anything. I think they might want a bigger star to anchor the picture."
Lord of the Rings’ star Sean Astin has reportedly been talking with Fox and Marvel about directing the FF film from Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost’s script.
