Watch: Kit Harington Wants to Play a Superhero!

Kit Harington may be loving every moment on the set of Game of Thrones.

But even with an impressive (and SAG Awards nominated) gig, the talented Brit can't help but picture a future job where he plays a superhero!

"I think I got put on the spot and [they asked], ‘Do you want to play a superhero' and of course I want to play a superhero," he told E! News during Live From the Red Carpet. "I don't know. I'd love to play Batman. As a matter of fact, camp him up, maybe without the spandex."

So maybe he's thinking some retro Batman from decades ago?

"I just miss the speech bubbles," he explained. "I think they should do it as a TV show. That's my theory. Yeah, I'd put my neck out there. I'd do it."

Before he suits up for a completely different role, Harrington has a whole lot to give fans on the popular HBO series Game of Thrones.

While the 28-year-old can't reveal too much about season five, the next episodes will be a whole lot more "lavish."

"We hear on-set in previous years that we can't afford that and they say no, but this year we ask, ‘Can we afford that' and the answer is 'Yeah,'" he shared. "They're throwing money at it. We're in season five and we're coming towards the real peak of the story."

He added, "There's some huge action and battle sequences that won't leave audiences wanting more."

Money well spent HBO. We can't wait for the premiere this April!
