Sam Worthington favourite to play the Phantom

Australian actor Sam Worthington is a strong favourite to play the coveted character of the Phantom in the latest movie adaptation of the comic book.

The actor recently won a vote of confidence from the film's screen writer.

Tim Boyle, who has been handed the job of taking the superhero to the big screen in The Ghost Who Walks, is keen to work with fellow Australian, the 'Contactmusic' reported.

The duo had worked together in a low budget action flick Fink and if everything goes well, the pair may be reunited once again.

The two have yet to discuss the role and Boyle has yet to learn from studio chiefs if he will also be allowed to direct the movie.

Worthington's next film is Terminator: Salvation with Christian Bale.
