McConaughey for Spider-Man reboot?

Matthew McConaughey has been approached to star in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot.

According to reports, the 45-year-old actor is being courted by Marvel to take on the role of Green Goblin/Norman Osborn in the new film.

The casting claims were first made by PointofGeeks.com.

Matthew has previously revealed he wouldn’t rule out starring in a comic book adaptation movie.

"I’ve read some Marvel and DC scripts and I’ve talked about working with them on some scripts, none of which I’ll share with you what they are — or were,” he said during an interview with Variety earlier this year. “Yeah, I’ve circled some of those. Nothing has been right for me yet. But I’m sure open to it.”

Matthew first made a name for himself as a romantic comedy lead before achieving critical acclaim in films such as The Wolf of Wall Street and the Oscar-winning Dallas Buyers Club.

And in the Variety chat, Matthew said it would take something incredibly unique to lure him into a franchise opportunity.

“It’s very simple for me,” he said. “I look at the script. Is the opportunity exciting? Is the money that comes with it exciting? Sure. Is it the possibility of going, 'Hey you can get on a train and it can be a franchise and you could do 3, 4, 5, and have a great time as some kind of superhero or anti-hero.' But I would also look at something like that and say, 'Hey, in success that means you are on the train for a while.’

"Contractually, you’re going to return to the character over and over. It’s something I asked myself is it something I’d want to return to. Would I be excited to go back and put the shoes on the character again? Going and doing the press tour with that group of people again? I always ask myself those questions again. It starts with the story and character."
