Bloom is best known for Hollywood franchises like "The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"When it comes to superhero movies, I would love to do the right kind, that would be fantastic. There are a couple of characters that are really interesting but I have never not been open to any of that stuff. It is really about timing," Bloom told PTI in an interview here.
However, he called the idea of starring in a superhero series as "fantastic".
"I think when you had two big franchise successes like I have, you become very identified in something. Then it is sometimes hard for people to envision you doing other things.

"When I was a boy, I was obsessed with Superman and Indiana Jones. When I realised that Superman was an actor, I thought 'oh my god I can be an actor then I can be anything I want. I can live the life of all these characters'."
Bloom says in his 23-year-old film career, he has been fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in big projects such as "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Troy".
"I look at my peers and I see that a lot of them have been acting in movies since they were nine like Leo (Leonardo DiCaprio). I started working when I was 21. I just happened to work in some really big films where I was really exposed.
"In terms of the amount of work I have done, I still have a lot to do. I am 40. I am in the most interesting phase of my life. Most actors did their interesting work in this stage of their life. I am looking for those performance pieces."
Bloom says though it is a cameo, he really got excited to rejoin the series when he got a call from the makers.
"I am a father now myself, so it was nice to play a father. I had a rich understanding of what it is. Weirdly when you have just two scenes, it is quite a pressure to get it right. I only have little moments to explain those stuff. I thought the way they described the character's comeback made sense."
