Paul Rudd, who plays Mike –Phoebe’s husband— on NBC’s Friends, says he may be up for a role in the Fantastic Four film.

A Superhero Hype scooper said he asked Rudd about rumors he was up for Superman. Rudd reportedly replied: "I never tried to get Superman, they never contacted me about playing Superman, and while I would love the career boost, I was just a name thrown into the hat and promptly removed. I have recently been contacted about the Fantastic Four movie, but I don't think I'll be playing the lead or anything. I think they might want a bigger star to anchor the picture."

Lord of the Rings’ star Sean Astin has reportedly been talking with Fox and Marvel about directing the FF film from Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost’s script.
