I refuse to fall into the trap of thinking DDL will ever do a comic book movie… but damn, that mother****er is starting to look like someone who could play Hugo Strange.

I can actually see it. On a more positive note, this saga feels like it has a bit more of a serious tone than other comic book films, so maybe he would actually consider it. He would bring a LOT of intensity to Hugo. I’d be down to see Hugo if his story is good.

There is a greater chance of John the Baptist playing Hugo Strange than DDL even taking a half glance at the script. Let’s be real.

Sean Bean on the otherhand...

Didn't they offer DDL General Zod in MoS? I know they offered him Ras in Begins. Can you imagine lol

I can imagine Ra’s. I can’t imagine anyone but Michael Shannon’s shouty, belligerent ass being that version of Zod, though.

Shannon shrieking bad David S. Goyer dialogue is my favourite.

Confession time : somehow, I've yet to see a film with DDL.
I might have seen Gangs of New York a long time ago and forgotten about it, and There Will Be Blood is that kind of film that I've been saying to myself “Damn, I have to watch it soon” since pretty much its release.

So, I don't know much about the guy, but what I do know is that he'll never touch something like Batman, no matter how prestigious the current adaptation may seem to us...

 

[Boom]

He's seemed pretty chill in these Anemone press junkets. I dunno. If Reeves was interested he could at least ask.

Viggo had the role. It would've been a dream.

I can ask Hunter Schafer out. This does not mean it's going to happen.

 

[Luke995]

If I recall well, he was asked to play Batman in early 90s. Maybe right after Keaton.

 

[BigBatTheory]

Thinking about actors with proximity to Matt Reeves and crew for Hugo Strange. I think Brendan Gleeson would crush that role. Ohhh or Tim Robbins (edit: no connection to Reeves thoo)

 

[Mindreaper21]

It’s going to be fun going back to see who nailed the villain and the casting back in 2019.

Respectfully, not if you're slower than me to the punch

DDL would be absolutely bat**** crazy but weirder things have frankly happened. You could cast the dude as Posion Ivy and I'd be all for it
