(CNN) -

Some "Harry Potter" fans might have a hard time accepting Rupert Grint in a role other than that of Ron Weasley, the character he played on the big screen for 10 years.

Others, however, might be thrilled to learn that the actor will reportedly star in a new CBS comedy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Grint has been tapped to play the title role in "Super Clyde," which centers on a fast-food worker who decides to become a super hero.

"Raising Hope" creator Greg Garcia will write and executive producer the series.
