Dave Franco is "open" to playing Luigi Mangione in a movie.

The 40-year-old actor has revealed that he would give consideration to portraying the man who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City last December as he has frequently been asked to do so by fans.

Speaking on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Dave said: "Oh, how do I answer this. Um, no one has approached me about it yet, I'll say that.

"This is something that more people in my life reached out about this exact thing than anything else that has ever happened.

"So let's just say I'm open if it's the right people, and let's leave it at that."

Dave revealed earlier this year that he has "never received more texts in my life" about the possibility of playing Mangione - who has pleaded not guilty to the murder and is set to face trial next year.
