Daniel Radcliffe Thinks He Would've Been “A Good Spider-Man”!

Daniel Radcliffe reveals that he wanted to play Spider-Man!

A lot of actors have dreamt about playing Spider-Man on the big screen, but only three actors have had the opportunity to do so - Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi's trilogy, Andrew Garfield in Marc Webb’s movies, and our current version of the webslinger, Tom Holland. Daniel Radcliffe, in a recent interview, reveals that he is one of those actors who wished to play the iconic Marvel superhero.

While speaking to Metro UK, the British actor claims that he loves superhero movies and adds:

I would've been a good Spider-Man, but the boat has sailed on that, and I'm very happy to watch Tom Holland do it. He's fantastic.

Radcliffe is 27 years old now, but the Russo Brothers and Kevin Feige suggested that they were looking for a teen actor to portray the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Spider-Man right from the beginning. So, it's unlikely that Marvel Studios would have considered the actor for the role, even if he had spoken out earlier.

While Radcliffe may never get a chance to portray Spider-Man, he seems to be open about the idea of suiting up as some other superhero. But the actor, who played Harry Potter on the big screen in eight different movies over a decade, would prefer not to take up a role that requires such a long-term commitment. Here's what he says:

If it was good enough and something I was interested in. I'm not sure if I'd sign up for something that was another seven or eight films or ten years, but a shorter franchise, yeah.

This isn't the first time Daniel Radcliffe has expressed his interest in playing a superhero. Back in the summer of 2014, during a rapid-fire interview with BuzzFeed, he shared that he would want to be Batman if "they reboot that again". He also added that he would be "perfect" as Robin next to Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader.

Maybe Warner Bros. can approach the actor to portray Jason Todd. Although that version of Boy Wonder is already dead in the DC Extended Universe, he could appear in flashback sequences, or perhaps bring the character back to life as Red Hood. Would that be unwise?
