Daniel Radcliffe plays an eccentric, evil billionaire in his new film "The Lost City," which also stars Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum. But the actor revealed in a recent red-carpet interview with Insider that he thinks he'd be a "natural fit" for the role of Spider-Man.
When asked by Insider if he was interested in doing superhero movies, Radcliffe admitted he's "not rushing to."
"Like everything, if it was cool and weird and different and had something that I really loved about it, then absolutely, I would do that," the "Harry Potter" star said on the red carpet before the SXSW Film Festival premiere of "The Lost City" on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
"The one I would be a natural fit for has now been done by three very good actors," Radcliffe added. "Tom Holland is incredible and no one could ever replace him, so I'll let that one go."
Though he didn't name drop the
Maguire played the role in "Spider-Man" (2002), "Spider-Man 2" (2004), and "Spider-Man 3" (2007). Garfield took on the mantle in "The Amazing Spider-Man" (2012) and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" (2014). And Holland most recently portrayed the hero in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019), and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021), as well as several other Marvel films.
Radcliffe has been vocal about his love for the superhero throughout the years, and even revealed that he once dressed up as the webslinger to go incognito at San Diego Comic-Con. The "Swiss Army Man" star previously spoke about his interest in playing Spider-Man in a 2016 interview with Metro UK.
