Harry Potter star Rupert Grint should play a villain in his next film, according to movie director Martin Scorsese.

Grint, 21, is currently best known for playing the comedy role of Ron Weasley in the wizarding movie series.

But the movie franchise will finish next year when the final film is released.

Scorsese, who has created flicks such as Goodfellas and Raging Bull, said Grint should take on a darker role next.

He said: “I thought he was a great actor in the Harry Potter movies. In a lot of scenes, the boy stole the show.

“He will always have respect for the movies that gave him such a huge break, but at his age it’s important he doesn’t become typecast.

“He has to do something really out of his comfort zone in the next few years – play a gangster, play a dirty cop, play a kid with learning difficulties.”

He added: “I would be interested in working with him. I would have no issues in casting him as a gangster, he is a very talented young man.”
