Harry Potter star quietly teased for Batman role

Although the news has been full of potential castings for the upcoming HBO Harry Potter reboot, it is time to see what the original cast is up to, more specifically, Daniel Radcliffe himself.

Since their roles in the Harry Potter movies, fans have kept up to date with their favourite stars, especially Mr. Daniel Radcliffe who has gone on to have a sparkling career since playing the Boy Who Lived.

However, it seems as though he is about to welcome his (second) biggest role yet in the upcoming Clayface by director James Watkins.

The DC Studios movie is expected to be one of the biggest horror entries but we will soon see more when it begins filming later this year.

Ahead of then, we now have our first rumour surrounding the upcoming cast and according to insider The InSneider, Radcliffe is one of two actors being eyed for the main role of Basil Karlo, a.k.a. Clayface.

This won’t be the first horror-esque movie for Radcliffe who previously starred in 2012’s The Woman in Black so this role should be a walk in the park for the acclaimed actor.

Especially as, according to DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn, Clayface is expected to be a horror-filled R-rated extravaganza.

"One of the things Peter and I talked about when we first got the script is if we were producing movies five years ago, like when we were doing Belko Experiment and all of that stuff, and somebody had brought us this horror script called Clayface about this guy, we would have died to have produced this movie,” Gunn said in a conversation with Cinema Blend.

"Because it was just a really excellent body horror script.

And the fact that it's in the DCU is just a plus.

Then we have Clayface: pure [frick]ing horror. Like totally real. Their version of that movie, it is so real and true and psychological and body horror and gross. It's definitely R-rated."

Since the rumours of Radcliffe’s potential casting dropped, fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts.

“Absolutely on board for Radcliffe casting,” one Twitter user said.

Brandon Lopez added, “He would be FANTASTIC!! Love this idea, but let’s still hear more before making a decision.”
