Tobias Menzies was in F1... Do you remember the rumors from some week ago?

A lister Tobias Menzies?

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Pitt would be an insane get. Especially as Dent. I have literally never found an actors level of fame distracting, I straight up don’t understand that.

 

[Boom]

Honestly the more that's come out about Pitt, Jolie and their children, the less I care for him. I wouldn't pitch a fit if he were cast, but I also wouldn't be particularly thrilled either.

Bardem or Menzies, on the other hand.

Oh he’s a bad person. Him and Scarlett as the co-leads would be super troubling on that level. Bardem is just as bad as Scarlett too.

Please no one tell me anything bad about Menzies.

Been watching Outlander with my wife for years, would love to see Menzies here.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Menzies is an incredible actor and I’d be delighted if that fake rumour was true.

 

[Boom]

Who reported that Menzies rumor originally? That was back in October right?

A completely random, unknown website that was clearly clickbait trash. Sadly.

Hoping for Bardem over Pitt. Would prefer Menzies over either (been a fan of his since Rome), but he’s not an A-lister, so it wouldn’t be referring to him.

I’m sure Pitt’s a troubling person behind the scenes but man some of his performances in the last stretch of his career have just been remarkable. Moneyball, OUATIH, he even crushed it in F1. I think it’s Bardem though; I can see the Chigurh gif on Matt Reeves’ Twitter timeline already

 

[J.Drangal]

Bardem also looks like a Dick Tracy villain—in a good way—and so, would fit quite nicely into the stylized Gotham created by Reeves & co.

 

[Milkman95]

Pitt is a reliable box office star that can pull any role off - this is still about receipts at the end of the day, would take Bardem for talent, but I’d be just fine with Pitt.

Me, too! He's always been reliably great.

Brad Pitt? Damn, Reeves really just want to make Seven.

More seriously... I'm not sure I really want to see him here.
I realize that the franchise always had very recognizable faces, right from Burton's film with an already iconic Nicholson, but I don't know... As with DiCaprio, these are actors that I can't completely forget to see the character they are playing (I know, it's an unpopular take..).

I agree with all of this.

I dont think anyone is worried this film wont make money...

 

[Sawyer]

If I don’t see a gif soon, Matthew, I swear…

 

[Boom]

Something before Christmas I hope.

You’re being generous, I was hoping before the end of the week. But if we’re doing Supergirl promo this week, I could see holding off a bit.
