Adam Brody, who was connected to George Miller’s now-stalled Justice League movie, told reporters that he’d still like to play the character of the Flash should the movie go forward, but that he has no inside knowledge about when that might be.

"I am a huge George Miller fan, and I’m a huge comic fan, so I’d still hang in," Brody said in a group interview on the set of Jennifer’s Body in Vancouver, Canada, on May 13. "But maybe I won’t be. I know Ryan Reynolds was attached to The Flash for awhile, and then I got the part, and then I read on the Internet, ‘Oh, he’s no Ryan Reynolds! He’s the only Flash.’ So if I don’t do it, hopefully in a year or so it’ll go to somebody else, and he’ll get s–t for not being me, and I was the only person that could ever have conceivably been the Flash."

Brody was one of several young Hollywood actors who were linked with Miller’s superhero movie, which is now on hold.

When asked if he’d consider playing a different superhero in the proposed adaptation of the DC Comics franchise, Brody laughed. ""F–k Ant Man, man," he said. "As for other heroes? There are a lot. I’m trying to think more in terms of graphic novels off the beaten path. They’re making a lot of them. But as I kid, I mean aside from The Flash, which I like, who’s always been a dream, would be to be Spider-Man. I always associated the most with Peter Parker. The rest are all [cool]. I mean, I could never be Batman, obviously. So they’re making a lot of awesome graphic novel movies that maybe I could be in, but the only one that from a kid that I’ve always been jealous of is Spider-Man."

Brody is currently wrapping the horror movie Jennifer’s Body, which is slated to open in 2009.
