Kristen Stewart would love to star in a sequel to 'Wanted'.

The actress - best known for her role as Bella Swan in the 'Twilight Saga' - has been tipped to take over from Angelina Jolie in the follow up to the 2008 action movie and admits she would happily work with James McAvoy on the project because she was such a fan of the first film.

She said: "Would I do it? Yes. Definitely, as long as it was good and I mean, it's really exciting to see that could be an opportunity.

"'Wanted' was a great movie, like, James McAvoy makes that movie different than most other action movies because he's a real guy, and I feel like most action movies don't have that. So if it had that element, definitely."

However, the actress admits the plot of the movie would have to be right before she would agree to appear.

She added to MTV News: "But I wouldn't just want to be in a mindless, blow-up movie. I'm not into it."

Meanwhile, Kristen rejected recent speculation she is planning to make her stage debut in London later this year, but admits she would love to branch out into theatre.

She added: "People have been asking me that. That's so weird. I don't know where that came from.

"I would love to. That's also something that really intimidates me and I have no experience in it. But I would want to, definitely. I'm just not doing that right now."
