Ashton Kutcher is Flash Gordon?

The film would centre on a lunk-headed quarterback who, with the help of some pals, takes on the totalitarian planet of Mongo, who're planning to blow Earth to smithereens.

Kutcher was recently up for the role of Superman but he wasn't too interested. "There's a couple of [reasons why Superman doesn't appeal to me] – my television show [That '70s Show], it would interfere with the schedule. So I don't think I'm gonna do it, because I'll have to sign up for another year of the show in order to get out on time. It would just kinda set me back more than it would do for me," Kutcher said at the time. "Also I think there's a bit of a curse behind that role – the things that have happened to people. Also, I think once you've played that role then you're just forever known as Superman. It's kind of hard to play other things. I have a lot of other characters I'd rather play."

So the likely hood of him playing Flash Gordon doesn't look to good. With films today especially superhero ones a sequel is always a possiblilty so it would not work with his schedule.
