Coming off the heels of his role as Stakar Ogrod in Marvel's highly-anticipated superhero sequel Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Sylvester Stallone is eyeing a different superhero project. A new report claims the action icon is currently the front runner to play Duke McQueen in 20th Century Fox's long-gestating Starlight comic book adaptation. Nothing is set in stone and the project doesn't even have a director attached at this time, but if Sylvester Stallone does in fact come aboard, it could give this project new life.
Splash Report first broke the news on this potential casting, which is the first we've heard about this project in quite some time. We first reported on this adaptation of Mark Millar's comic book way back in December 2013, when 20th Century Fox won a bidding war for the project, where the studio beat out two unnamed companies for the rights to the project.
