David Kaufman<\/strong>‘s not going ghost on the conversation about who should play Danny Phantom in the live-action movie … telling TMZ he’s got some clear casting ideas.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The actor — who voiced the titular character in all 53 episodes of the television show and reprised his role in subsequent movies and video games … told us he’s all for Tom Holland<\/strong><\/a> playing DP though he thinks Spider-Man might be all done with superheroes for a while.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Here’s the deal … Butch Hartman<\/strong>, creator of a whole bunch of well-known animated shows for Nickelodeon in the 2000s, recently spoke at MegaCon in Orlando and said if there ever was a “Danny Phantom” live-action movie, he’d only want Tom Holland in the role.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

For those who don’t know, “Danny Phantom” followed a teenager named Danny Fenton who gained ghost-like abilities after a portal to another world exploded and turned him into half-human, half-ghost.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

A big if of course … nothing like this has gone into production or even been announced as far as we can tell — but it’s still something Kaufman really put his mind to, and he decided TH is fine by him if he wants to do it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

DK pointed out Tom’s headed to the West End for a production of “Romeo & Juliet” … a fact David thinks is great for him since it’s a departure from the superhero roles Holland has nailed to this point in his career.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Quite frankly, it’s not difficult to imagine Tom wanting to pursue different kinds of roles moving forward either since the dude’s a talent tour de force.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Kaufman wasn’t just countering Butch’s idea though … he also came up with a couple casting calls of his own — “Stranger Things” actor Noah Schnapp<\/strong><\/a> as Danny and Billie freakin’ Eilish<\/strong><\/a> as his friend-turned-love-interest Sam.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

David complimented Noah on his comedic timing, saying he thinks that’s a huge part of Danny’s character — so any actor playing him needs to know their way around a joke. And, just look up some pics of the characters … pretty perfect casting, at least appearance-wise.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Billie doesn’t have much acting experience, but that’s never stopped Hollywood before … and she’s up for her second Best Original Song Oscar, so maybe she’ll be inspired to give acting a try.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
