According to STV, the Avatar star has been linked to the role of sci-fi comic book hero Steven 'Flash' Gordon in the remake of the 1980 film.
A source said: "If he gets the role it would be quite a big deal as Flash is an all-American hero.
"Right now it's between Sam, Ryan Reynolds and one or two others for the lead role should the project actually get off the ground."
Worthington can next be seen in the upcoming Clash Of The Titans, which is to be released in March 2010.
