The Daily Star claims that director Peter Kosminsky is about to begin casting for The Spare.
The biopic will depict Prince Harry's reaction to his mother Princess Diana's death and his experience of serving in the army in Afghanistan.
Rupert Friend is reportedly also being considered for the lead role.
Kosminsky said: "I feel a sense of compassion for the guy [Prince Harry]. His parents break up in the most spectacularly public way, his mother dies in the most tragic and, again, public way, and everything is picked over.
"He's a man born to no role. His brother's the heir and Harry's the spare."
He added that he might cast an American actor, explaining: "My personal approach as a director is that I read the script and people start to pop into my head."
