"I would love to reboot The Avengers - with Eddie Izzard as John Steed. That would be wonderful."

Fuller and Izzard, of course, worked together on Hannibal - where the latter played serial killer Abel Gideon.

The pair also have form when it comes to reboots, even if their last effort to revive a classic property - 2012's The Munsters revamp Mockingbird Lane - didn't get a series pick-up.
