WWE Superstar Sheamus wants to play Venom in the an 'Amazing Spider-Man' film.
The 36-year-old star has been inspired to launch a film career by his fellow grappler Dave Batista's performance as Drax the Destroyer in Marvel movie 'The Guardians of the Galaxy'.
As a massive fan of the Spider-Man comics when he was a kid, Sheamus admits his dream role would be to play the villainous Symbiote alien opposite Andrew Garfield as the web-slinger on the big screen.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I watched 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and I thought Dave Batista did a great job, and Bradley Cooper was great as Rocket.
"I always read comic books as a kid, I always remember Eddie Brock, who was Venom in the Spider-Man comics, he was kind of a red head. I'd love to play the role of Venom and Eddie Brock - Venom was one of my favourite characters ... It would be a dream come true for me to star in the next 'Amazing Spider-Man' film as Venom."
Sheamus has already had a few minor film roles, including playing a bare-knuckle fighter in 'The Escapist', and he thinks he definitely has something to offer Hollywood.
The in-ring performer - who is currently in Britain on the WWE UK Tour - said: "I definitely think there's a market for me to be in movies, because of what I've done in WWE. I'm recognisable - even if I'm out wearing a hat people always know I'm Sheamus from WWE. I do look distinctive with my red hair and I stand out a lot and I definitely would like to bring that to the movies ... I like actors like Michael Fassbender, I think he's brilliant. I think Hugh Jackman is great too - look at the way he took the role of Wolverine and made it his. Robert Downey Jr. I'm a big fan of as well. It would honour to work with any of those guys."
Sheamus is joined on the WWE UK Tour by John Superstars such as John Cena, Big Show and Seth Rollins and they will be in Britain until November 13. Information and tickets are available at Bookingsdirect.com.

Britain's Prince Harry attended a ceremony at the Field of Remembrance in London's Westminster Abbey earlier today (07.11.14).
The 30-year-old prince appeared in full military dress at the abbey, where he was greeted by The Dean of Westminster, John Hall, and took the time to meet members of the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory.
Prince Harry spoke to Lisa McKinlay - whose husband Lance Corporal Jonathan McKinlay was killed in Helmand, Afghanistan while serving with The Rifles - who said: "Harry was saying how nice it was to see the names on all the crosses. He knows about The Rifles and everything they do, and was saying how much support they give to their families.
"[Harry] said you have to strike a balance between spending your time remembering what has happened and moving forward with your job and family.
"I was a little bit nervous about meeting him but I like attending these events because it is Jon's name that I am able to remember and I want his name remembered for as long as possible."
The prince, whose military career has seen him spend time serving in Afghanistan, also laid a Cross of Remembrance in front of the graves of Unknown British soldiers from the First and Second World Wars and then observed two minutes' silence.

Jamie Dornan enlisted the help of a sex expert for his role in 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.
The 32-year-old actor will appear as the male protagonist, Christian Grey, in the film adaptation of the erotic novel and has revealed that he watched some real submissive action to prepare for the part.
He confessed: "It's such a big part of the character that I wanted to know what I was doing."
The film - which will be released on February 13, 2015 - will follow the hunk's escapades with Anastasia Steele, played by Dakota Johnson, with whom he embarks on a kinky sexual relationship.
Describing how he familiarised himself with the idea of domination and submission in the bedroom, he explained: "This guy came along with his submissive, I sat in the corner with a beer and watched.
"My driver was on the other side of the door, God knows what he thought."
The actor originally failed to secure the film's starring role, but was called in as an emergency replacement when 'Pacific Rim' star Charlie Hunnam abruptly quit the project shortly before filming was due to commence.
He has now admitted taking the part was a huge decision because his wife - Amelia Warner - was heavily pregnant with their 11-month-old daughter, but praised the singer-songwriter for being so understanding of his situation.
In an interview with Shortlist magazine, he explained: "A lot of people would have had a s**t fit at 30-something weeks pregnant, hearing, 'Darling, we're going to Vancouver this week for four months - we're going to have a Canadian baby and I'm going to do a film where, for parts of it, I will be naked'.
"That's a tough pitch, but my wife is an incredible person."

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are to reunite on 'Daddy's Home'. The duo starred alongside one another in the 2010 comedy film 'The Other Guys', which also featured Eva Mendes, and they've got together once again for Paramount Pictures and Red Granite...

Ne-Yo took a break because he felt "underappreciated".
The 'She Knows' singer has been on hiatus for two years as he felt he needed more recognition for his pioneering sound and was happy to see people still "cared" while he was out of the spotlight.
Asked for the reasons behind his hiatus, he said: "You want to give people the chance to miss you, especially if you're in a place where you feel underappreciated, which I gotta say is something I dealt with.
"Because I'm not this super-boisterous guy who runs around telling people [what I've done], people forget.
"Before 'Closer', there was no R&B cats doing EDM or dance music, it just wasn't happening, 'Closer' was the first one.
"I didn't get any credit for that, I'm not crying or complaining but when you don't feel like people are paying attention in the way they should, you go away to see if they care - and people cared, so I'm back."
Ne-Yo's latest music video for 'She Knows' is set in a strip club and the 32-year-old singer wanted to show how pole dancers are "athletes" who can do things that "average women" can't.
Speaking to 'BBC Newsbeat', he said: "Everybody has seen a strip club video.
"The track, when I first heard it, I was like 'This is something I have to hear in a strip club'. So we knew we wanted to go down that route, but we didn't want it to be typical.
"And on top of that, we wanted to show the art form that is pole dancing, it is not as easy as they make it look, those women are athletes, the average woman can not get up there and do that."

Dave Grohl wants to make another Them Crooked Vultures record.
The Foo Fighters frontman would love to reunite with his supergroup bandmates, Queens of the Stone Age singer Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, but admits their busy schedules makes it difficult to return to the studio together for the first time since 2009.
He said: "I would love to make another Vultures record. I think our biggest hurdle is just a logistic one, that the three of us are all pretty busy."
The 'Best Of You' hitmaker admitted he is keen to do other things outside of Foo Fighters, but ruled out a return to Probot, his 2004 heavy-metal group who released a self-titled album featuring the likes of Motörhead's Lemmy, Veonom's Cronos and actor and Tenacious D singer Jack Black.
He told NME magazine: "I mean, I'm trying to think of things that I would revisit. I get asked to do another Probot record all the time, but I can't do it. Those were my favourite singers."
Meanwhile, Dave also admitted he considered marking the 20th anniversary of Foo Fighters' self-titled debut album - which was recorded almost entirely by the singer - by rerecording it with the full band, but the idea was shot down by drummer Taylor Hawkins.
He said: "At one point I thought, 'You know what would be really funny? To re-record the first Foo Fighters record as the band we are now' - 'cos the first record isn't the Foo Fighters, it's just me. So what if, for the 20th anniversary, we went in and re-recorded the first record - same songs, same arrangements, in sequence - but as the Foo Fighters 2014? Taylor was like, 'Are you out of your f***ing mind?! That's the worst idea ever! People would f***ing hate it!' And Pat [Smear] said, 'That's exactly why we should do it!' "

Kasabian think rock bands could disappear because new acts don't work hard enough.
The band's frontman Tom Meighan made the comments at the launch of the NME Awards 2015 last night (05.11.14), adding that he believes his band is responsible for ensuring youngsters are into performing music.
The 33-year-old 'eez-eh' singer said: "We're a band that are getting kids back into playing guitars.
"I love what Johnny Marr said -- you want to be 18 and f**king fearless. That's what we were. We were 18 when we started. We were fearless."
Despite praising his band - which headlined Glastonbury earlier this year - he criticised other musicians for not being proactive enough in achieving their dreams.
He explained to the Evening Standard newspaper: "I think in rock 'n' roll there will always be a band that breaks through.
"Bands form now, put some music out and expect it to happen. We got on a tour bus and just toured. We were kids. But look where we are now."
The multi-NME Award winners performed at the event in exclusive London venue Under The Bridge to declare voting open.
The public are now able to choose who they'd like to win each of the many titles, including Best British Band and Best Solo Artist.
Other guests in attendance included 'Boom Clap' hitmaker Charli XCX and indie rockers Peace.
The NME Awards 2015 in association with Austin, Texas, will take place at London's O2 Academy Brixton on February 18 2015.

Laurence Llewelyn Bowen is looking forward to a break this Christmas.
The former 'Changing Rooms' star - who has two daughters, Cecile and Hermione, with his wife Jackie - insists it's as important to rest during the upcoming holiday as it is to enjoy the festivities.
He told BANG Showbiz: "It's very important that grown-ups have time off at Christmas. We work very hard these days. It is very important that grown-ups properly have time off at Christmas. Don't overdo it and don't take on too much. This holiday should be a time to sit back and recharge."
Interior designer Laurence has always been enchanted by Christmas and he has fond memories of his own house and the homes of his friends being transformed by Yuletide decorations.
He said: "All the coloured lights were exotic. I remember being really struck by how transformed ordinary familiar spaces were, like my own home or friend's family homes. They were transformed with fairy lights which seemed so unusual back then.
He jokingly added: "I guess that's one of the pitfalls of growing up in the Victorian era ... Well It was the 60s for goodness sake!"
Laurence was speaking ahead of his appearance at the Ideal Home Show at Christmas (Idealhomeshowchristmas.co.uk) which takes place at Earls Court in London from November 19 to 23 and at Event City in Manchester between November 14 to 16.
Laurence insists visitors to the show will be able to learn ways to improve their house that will last beyond Christmastime.
He said: "The main aim, of course, is getting the visitors to get inspired and excited by Christmas but of one of the great things about the Ideal Home Show is it is not just about Christmas at all. It is about giving people the ideas and inspiration and actually shopping opportunities to be to make sure their homes are Christmas ready on every level. It's about the interior decoration as well."
Other stars appearing at the event include TV chef Gino D'Acampo, Peter Andre, Amy Childs and Millie Mackintosh.

Blue are to run a bar in Ibiza for a new TV show.
The boy band - Lee Ryan, Antony Costa, Duncan James and Simon Webbe - will appear in ITV2 programme 'Blue Go Mad in Ibiza' for which they were set the challenge to turn a relaxed San Antonio bar into one of the Spanish island's top holiday hot spots in just 14 days.
Among the challenges the Blue boys will have to deal with are awkward customers intent on making trouble, difficult staff members, including a chauvinistic head barman, and an overly flamboyant PR intent on causing havoc.
Unbeknown to the foursome while they were shooting all the problematic people were actors who had been specifically asked to make mischief.
In a joint statement, the guys said: "We thoroughly enjoyed running the bar and definitely see a potential future in this for Blue, but we still can't believe we were fooled into believing our closest confidantes in the bar were genuine!
"We've got into some unusual predicaments during our time in the band, but what the team tricked us into on the show was unbelievable. We're still shocked we didn't guess!"
The four-part series is yet to get a start date.

Jackiey Budden is planning to auction off her late daughter Jade Goody's possessions because she is struggling for money.
The one-time 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant has had her benefit payments cut by the government after a new test concluded she is well enough to work, even though she lost the use of her left arm in a motorcycle accident in 1986.
Jackiey has been told she must find a job but at present she is desperate for cash and has made the decision to sell-off various items that belonged to Jade - who died from cervical cancer in 2009 at the age of just 27.
Speaking about her decision in an interview on 'This Morning' today (06.11.14), she said: "At the moment I'm struggling, I'm living off my disability to pay my rent. So I called Christie's and explained everything I had [to sell] and was advised to take to auction because there are some really serious collectors out there for what my dolly's are. I will sell them and my fox furs ... and the books."
When asked by hosts Philip Schofield and Amanda Holden what she has done with the £20,000 she was left in Jade's will, Jackiey replied: "Yes, she signed the will and I get pocket money. It's with the tax man at the moment, but that's still coming."
The 57-year-old grandmother - who regularly sees Bobby and Freddy, Jade's children with TV presenter Jeff Brazier - was stunned when she got a letter in the post telling her she was well enough to work and would no longer be eligible for income support.
Although she can use her right arm, she claims she's in constant pain with it because the limb is overworked because she can't use her other arm which would make her a risk if she were to get a job she has previously held - that of an au pair, nanny or housekeeper.
Jackiey believes Jade - who shot to fame when she appeared in the 2002 series of 'Bog Brother' - would approve of her plan to sell her things if she was still alive.
She said: "I think if Jade was alive she would still prefer me to do that than to be in the situation that I'm in. I've got so much of Jade's old possessions, some really old books and dollies."

Demi Lovato would rather be a role model than "vain".
The 'Skyscraper' hitmaker - who checked into rehab in 2010 over a number of issues, including self-harm and an eating disorder - can understand why some people "shy" away from setting an example to their young fans but she has now embraced the fact people look up to her because she wants to do good with her career.
She said: "I really embraced the whole role model thing, because when I was younger I realised that shying away from it and denying that I was gonna be a role model only made me resent the fact that people were putting boundaries on me of things I can and cannot do.
" I think that's why a lot of people shy from it, rightfully so. People sometimes just want to live their lives.
"At that moment, I knew I was doing a lot of things that weren't right and weren't role model-like until the day that I saw everything in the bigger picture where my voice - if you live your whole career just singing and just taking pictures and just living in front of everyone, if you don't use your voice for good, it's actually a very vain career, a narcissistic career.
"I want to use my voice for good and I know that I can do a lot other than singing. And that's what I want to do. That's what I want to show people."
Demi, 22, thinks it is important to be "honest" with her fans and not hide her "vulnerable" side.
She added to 'Access Hollywood': "I think it's important for people to realise that celebrities are human beings and that nobody has it easy just because they are a celebrity and people that you think are flawless are actually flawed themselves, sometimes more than you are.
"I love being open and honest and vulnerable with people, because it's just a part of who I am."

Marc Anthony was stunned by Jennifer Lopez's autobiography.
The 'On the Floor' hitmaker opens up about her personal life in new memoir 'True Love' and her former husband - with who she has six-year-old twins Max and Emme - was shocked by some of her thoughts and feelings about their relationship when he read an early draft of the tome.
Jennifer admitted: "He read it and was like 'Whoa, I didn't know all of this was going on'... and I was like, 'I'm happy that you learned something, that you grew.' "
The 45-year-old singer has been single since splitting from Casper Smart in June and is enjoying having time to look after herself.
She said: "There was something in my [previous] relationships that wasn't lining up... the missing component was me loving myself and being able to take care of myself... they always say put on the oxygen mask first, right? But it's true... you have to love yourself.
"I'm not dating right now. I just decided I was taking some time to be on my own. And be my own best friend."
And the brunette beauty admits she will be a lot more "cautious" in her next relationship, and though she is happy to be single at the moment, she has a list of qualities which she is looking for in a partner.
Speaking to 'Extra', she said: "I will go slower [in my next relationship]. I think I'll be a lot more cautious...
"[My ideal man] behaves very good, he's super faithful, he's super sweet. He's funny... he doesn't have to be [famous] at all."
