Nicholas said that if he could star in any remake, he would choose between Braveheart and Troy. In the former, he would want to play Mel Gibson‘s character William Wallace. He’d take over Brad‘s role of Achilles in the latter.

On the topic of his star-studded collaborators, the actor joked, “I got sent a tweet one day that I am collecting award-winning actors like Infinity Stones. I’ve got a few of them. I need to collect a few more before I have the complete gamut.”

Some of the people that he still needs to work with include Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep and Emily Blunt. He’s very well aware that a Devil Wears Prada sequel could make the latter two possible.

“Listen, if Annie’s down for it, if they want to do a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, I’ll be someone. I’ll be the assistant who runs and gets coffee for everyone.”
