The creator of Kick Ass says he has plans to make a Charlie Sheen superhero movie.

Mark Millar revealed the news at the weekend's Kapow! Comic Convention in central London.

It's the first time the convention, usually held in San Diego, has been held in the UK.

He told Newsbeat that he is already working on plans and would love to work with the former Two and a Half Men star as the lead.

He said: "That's one of my ideas. I would love to do a superhero project with Charlie Sheen and I have something in mind. I genuinely have something in mind."

'Story would write itself'

Charlie Sheen is currently touring with his Violent Torpedo Of Truth: Defeat Is Not An Option show.

But what superhero powers would Charlie's character have in the movie? Mark says there may not be a need to give Charlie's character any supernatural powers.

"He's got enough real life powers," he said.

"I think a guy like him, I'd have his own personality in it.

"Robert Downey Jr did it. Robert Downey Jr turned what was a negative into a massive positive and I think you could do the same with Charlie Sheen.

"But I just think those guys get so interesting when they get to this stage in their career, the story would write itself."
