Daniel Radcliffe has a new movie coming out in November, and Emma Watson is already stirring up excitement for 2017’s live action Beauty and the Beast. But what is Rupert Grint up to? Fans of the actor will be happy to hear that he will soon be on TV. That’s right; Ron Weasley Rupert will be starring in a brand new NBC show that was created just for him.
The currently untitled show follows the life of Grint’s character, who also happens to be named Rupert. According to Deadline, he is “obsessed with Imperial City, a comic book series his father created before his death. Rupert has spent his whole life believing he owned all nine issues. But when a mysterious comic book collector reveals the existence of a tenth issue, Rupert discovers that the world of Imperial City is real, and he is the one person who can save it.” In real life, Grint is a big fan of comic books.
Rupert Grint as a superhero? We love this idea. Plus, Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta is the mastermind behind this drama. The show is currently in development, but we’re looking forward to some serious TV magic.
