"Ozark" star Jason Bateman has revealed he wants to play a woman, but "in a very real way".
In a Hollywood Reporter round table with Darren Criss, Jeff Daniels, Michael B Jordan, Matthew Rhys and J K Simmons, the actor said he likes playing the "normal guy," but would be up for performing as a female character.

The actor, however, does not want to remake the 1982 Dustin Hoffman movie.
"Not to suggest that film needs to get redone," he said, "which it should never.
