Ewan McGregor wants to play Scottish comic book hero

Ewan McGregor wants to play comic hero Oor Wullie in a movie.

McGregor says he would love to involve an all-star Scottish cast in the project.

According to reports, he said: "You could have Dougie Henshaw playing Wee Eck and Peter Mullan playing PC Murdoch.

"I grew up with Oor Wullie. I recently found a bunch of the annuals again at my parent's house in Perthshire and I'm reading them again."

He is currently starring in Ridley Scott's new movie Black Hawk Down.
