Jamie Dornan is a wanted man, as Warner Bros and director Guy Ritchie are thought to be keen on the Irish actor to play King Arthur in a possible new franchise.

Dornan too is keen on the role, but the issue is apparently his commitment to sequels to Fifty Shades of Grey. When the first film hits, and it will, he'll begin work on the two follow ups fairly sharpish if Universal Pictures have their way. 

The Belfast born actor is currently filming The Fall, and is also part of the ensemble cast for Bradley Cooper chef flick, Adam Jones.

His first post Fifty Shades of Grey starring role will come with Irish flick, The Siege of Jadotville by Dublin helmer Richie Smyth.
