Scottish actor Gerard Butler is the favourite to star in the West End sequel to The Phantom Of The Opera.

The 300 star impressed creator Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber with his performance as the Phantom in the 2004 film of the same name - and the theatre impresario now wants Butler to reprise the famous role for his forthcoming stage sequel.

Lloyd Webber tells British newspaper the Daily Express. "I have got my own new show coming on next year, which is my sequel to The Phantom of the Opera, which I think is going to be called Phantom: Once Upon Another Time. That will come on in November next year, if everything goes well."

And although Butler hasn't confirmed his involvement in the project, he is the main contender for the part.

A source close to Webber reveals, "Because it's a sequel to a film which helped the career rise of Gerard, Lord Andrew believes he will do it. There could be another film down the line. There's a massive audience out there who love the original."
