Daniel Radcliffe Wants Star Wars Role

Daniel Radcliffehas signalled his willingness to appear in the new Star Wars movies.

The formerHarry Potteractor said he didn't want to play JK Rowling's boy wizard again - but had not been put off of appearing in movie franchises by the experience.

He told Time Out: "'Franchise' mustn't become a dirty word. If directors like JJ Abrams and Joss Whedon keep doing what they're doing, it won't be.

"I'd love to be part of one again. Maybe not leading it: a nice supporting role. Star Wars would be awesome. That'd be crazy cool."

Quizzed about whether he'd consider another Potter movie if JK Rowling wrote more books, he was very reluctant.

"Even if Jo did, which is unlikely, I'd take a lot of talking round.

"I've done so much work to establish myself as something outside that series I'd be really hesitant to go back. I'm 23, which is too old to be running round in a schoolboy's cape.

"I'd never totally close the door. But no more schoolboy stuff. A cameo as Harry's dad? That would be perfect!"

Al Pacino recently claimed that he rejected the role of Han Solo.
