The actor has met director Steven Soderbergh about starring as Napoleon Solo in film about two crime-fighting secret agents, Hollywood Reporter explained.

Still in early advancement, it will be considered the film will retain its 1960s setting.

British actor David McCallum also starred as Illya Illya Kuryakin, doing work as part of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement, fighting the evil organisation Thrush.

Clooney is really a long-time collaborator with Soderbergh, the pair doing work with each other previously on films which includes Out of Sight, the Ocean's Eleven collection and Syriana, for which Clooney won an Oscar.
