Alexander Skarsgard will not star in `The Crow`

London: Actor Alexander Skarsgard has denied rumours that he will star in a remake of cult classic `The Crow`.

Rumours began swirling earlier this week that the `True Blood` hunk was in the running for the lead role of Eric Draven, who returns from the dead to track down thugs who killed his fiancee, in a re-imagining of the 1994 thriller, reported Daily Star. Speculation began after Tom Hiddleston distanced himself from the part, clearing the path for Skarsgard, who was reportedly interested in the movie, but he has since denied any involvement in the project. "No, I`m not attached to anything right now after True Blood," Skarsgard said. PTI
