The 'Epic' Superhero That Kellan Lutz Would Love To Play

When Hollywood heartthrob Kellan Lutz sat down with The Huffington Post on Wednesday, he revealed a desire sure to make his legions of fans swoon.

In the four years since his run as Emmett Cullen in the “Twilight” series, Lutz has had a steady stream of big-screen success, but there’s a certain legendary character he’s eager to play.

“He-Man and the Masters of the Universe,” the animated superhero show that spawned a cult following during its early ’80s run, is getting a feature film reboot and Lutz is fighting for the lead role. Lutz told HuffPost Entertainment that he’s such a “huge fan” that when he met with the film’s director, McG, “I actually handed him a power sword.”

With so many superhero roles already taken, Lutz said he has his sights set on this one.

“I auditioned for Thor. I auditioned for Captain America. Both Chrises got those. Chris Pratt is doing ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ [and] ‘Jurassic Park.’ A lot of these roles are getting eaten up,” he said.

The film is still in early development , but Lutz is confident that “once the script is done, I’ll get my chance.”
