Tyra Banks wants Taylor Swift to play Whitney Houston's role in The Bodyguard remake

Tyra Banks suggested that Taylor Swift should play Whitney Houston's role in the new "Bodyguard" remake.

When Banks co-hosted Monday's episode of "Today With Jenna and Friends" with Jenna Bush Hager, they theorized who could take over Houston and Kevin Costner's roles in an upcoming remake of the 1992 romantic thriller.

"I think Taylor Swift, because business, commerce, art, and she would frickin' sell like crazy," Banks said.

The former "America's Next Top Model" host added that since the original film starred Houston, a black woman, and Costner, a white man, they could "flip it" in the new version.

"What if we flipped it, and it was Taylor Swift and Idris Elba?" Banks asked.

The co-hosts also pointed out that the director of Swift's blockbuster "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" film, Sam Wrench, is set to direct the reboot.

Deadline previously reported that Warner Bros will be revamping the "Bodyguard." 

The studio, which released the original, has set Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour director Sam Wrench to helm and script by Juror No. 2 writer Jonathan A. Abrams, Deadline has learned.

No casting has been set, but after the first film’s star duo and box office success it certainly will be a casting process to watch. Beyond Swift, there are many singers who could play the singing star that this should be a magnet for an exciting cast.

Well Taylor can't act 

[LadyxGaGa 1,761]

like sweetheart we came to kno the star of the bodyguard has got to have pipes 

[Borisapillar 9,061]

remember that movie Taylor made where she got run over

[Kayi 2,628]

I like Taylor's music but come on, this role is for vocalists with multifaced voices 

You can't play this role after Whitney without this element 

And Taylor isn't what we can call a decent actress, let's be real
