The Office star John Krasinski wants to play a Marvel villain, having narrowly missed out on the role of Captain America in 2010.

The actor, best known for playing Jim Halpert in the US adaptation of the Ricky Gervais sitcom, hits UK cinemas in Michael Bay warzone thriller 13 Hours this Friday.

Asked if now he has an action movie on his CV, he'd like to take another run at a Marvel role, Krasinski told Digital Spy: "I'll take a Marvel movie, any time! I love watching them so I'd love to be a part of it."

"The Captain America thing was hilarious... I had so much fun doing it and got to wear the suit and screen-test and sign my life away that I wouldn't tell anyone."

The role eventually went to Chris Evans, but Krasinski didn't mind too much. "Chris is a good friend and very good at what he does, so I was so happy to see him do it," he said.

"Maybe now I need to play a villain and fight Chris," he continued. "That's what we need to do."

13 Hours is out on Friday, January 29.
