Rex Features

John Cusack has revealed an interest in starring in a comic book adaptation, pointing towards Preacher as a project he would consider.

The 2012 actor was quizzed whether he knew of any comic book movies floating around Hollywood that he would like to be involved in.

"Yeah, I can, there was one or two that I heard of that sounded really cool," he told io9.com.

"One of them was about, I think... it's a vampire and a killer, and they're on the road, and it's this really strange story. I thought that sounded pretty cool."

He added: "I think it might have been Preacher."

Preacher, written by Garth Ennis and pencilled by Steve Dillon, follows down-and-out preacher Jesse Custer as he goes on a journey across the US trying to find God after becoming possessed by a supernatural creature named Genesis.

Sam Mendes is currently attached to direct.
