Zac Efron for superhero role?

Zac Efron is in talks to play sea-bound superhero Namor.

Movie bosses want the former High School Musical star to play Marvel’s Sub-Mariner in a big screen version of the comic book character.

“Zac is seen as perfect for the role,” reveals a movie insider.

“He can fit the role physically and has the acting skill necessary and he has a fanbase to help make the movie a hit. Namor is an unusual character but the underwater aspect is something producers are very excited to be putting onto the big screen.”
