Marvel movie star Sebastian Stan has said he's interested in playing WWE legend Ric Flair in a future biopic.
In a recent interview with Collider, the Hollywood actor revealed he would love the opportunity to play the Nature Boy in a movie about his life and career. The inspiration behind the idea apparently came from Stan's friend and former co-star Paul Walter Hauser, who is a self-confessed wrestling fanatic. From the way Stan discussed the role, it seems the idea may have been in the pipeline for a while.

While he would go on to wrestle for a number of years, his "retirement match" came against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24 in Orlando. The two legends tore the house down in what was widely considered to be the Match of the Year.
