Zac Efron lined up for 'Flash Gordon'?

Zac Efron is reportedly in talks to play Flash Gordon in a new movie.

The High School Musical star recently admitted that he would love to star in Spider-Man, but sources told Showbiz Spy that he is "excited" about joining Flash Gordon.

"Zac is one of the frontrunners to play Flash and he's making no secret of the fact that he would love the role," an insider said.

"Spider-Man has been done and he doesn't want to follow someone like Tobey Maguire. Flash would be all Zac and a chance for him to make a mark with his own franchise. He's very excited about the possiblity."
