Woody Harrelson wants to star in a superhero film

Los Angeles June 23 (IANS) Hollywood actor Woody Harrelson has had offers to appear in a superhero film and he is interested in joining that genre.

We did talk about it actually. We had that talk but it didn t come to fruition. It wasn t the right time. I guess I am open to it. But generally I do love little movies. These little indie movies. There s something I kind of like about them. But this is great. I love this Harrelson told Comicbook website.

The Han Solo spin-off movie is set to follow a younger version of the titular character -- portrayed by Alden Ehrenreich who is taking over the part from Harrison Ford and his sidekick Chewbacca as they first encounter Lando Calrissian (Donald Glover) and became space smugglers.
