Brad Pitt is desperately courting Cara Delevingne for a role in one of his upcoming movies, Radar Online reports. According to the site, the 52-year-old actor has offered the "Paper Towns" actress the lead in "World War Z 2".

"Brad thinks Cara's talents haven't been explored properly and he wants to take her under his wing," an insider told the site, "He's hoping she might sign an ongoing deal with his company." According to the insider, Cara declined the "World War Z" sequel offer. She "can't do it because of schedule conflicts," claimed the source.

However, the source said that "Brad won't give up" on scoring Cara as his "next big thing," adding, "He's opened his contacts book to her and given her numbers of the best acting teachers in Hollywood. He really thinks she's got what it takes to win an Oscar one day."

Following her roles in "Paper Towns" and "Pan", Cara will next be seen in "Suicide Squad" and Luc Besson's "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Islands". Brad, meanwhile, will be seen in upcoming comedy war film "War Machine".
