'Expendables' star Terry Crews has said that he would like to portray "Fantastic Four" character the Thing on screen.

The 45-year-old actor, who recently provided the voice of Blade in the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' cartoon, also expressed an interest in portraying X-Men hero Colossus in the future, reported Digital Spy.

"One character I always thought I could play is the Thing from Fantastic Four. Another character I've always loved as a fan is Colossus. If there was a way to make that happen that worked, I would love to be Colossus," Crews said.

Crews has been tipped to play superhero Luke Cage in the past, but the actor said that Marvel's apparent lack of interest in bringing the character to screen deters him from pursuing the role.
 

"Some people bring up Luke Cage, but honestly I have to step out of that because Marvel's never really expressed an interest in making it," he said.

"If Marvel hasn't expressed interest in it, why should I? I'm interested in actually doing a character that'll see the light of day; that's one of the reasons I chose to do Blade here. I don't want to be a part of something that's going to sit on the shelf and never get made.
