Jamie Dornan

Jamie Dornan

Jamie Dornan is believed to be the favourite for the role of King Arthur in a new Guy Ritchie film.

Ritchie is set to return to the director's chair with this new project and has met with Dornan for the central role.

While there is no official word, a source said that the director was 'blown away' when he met Dornan.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Jamie is hot property in Hollywood. Guy was completely blown away when he met him and wanted to offer the part immediately.

"Jamie is keen on the role, too, and his US agents are keen to work out a deal where he'll be able to do both franchises.

"They have to convince Universal to allow Jamie to make the film with Warner Brothers, which isn't looking promising."

Dornan is just the latest name to be attached to this film, as Idris Elba was linked to the film earlier this summer.

Dornan has seen his star rocket this year after landing the role of Christian Grey in the adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.

The actor is currently filming a movie with director John Wells, alongside Bradley Cooper and Uma Thurman.
