Mad Hatter casting thread

I didn’t say they wouldn’t recognize him. The GA for the most part would look at Dano and fumble on his name. As for Bell, Keoghan, MacKay...the GA would not even know where to begin if you showed them a photo. If those names are out of the shortlist then they need to rethink this trilogy.

For instance “Official news. Jamie Bell has been cast as the Joker”. A collective “who?” would be heard everywhere. And that’s OK. It doesn’t matter.

 

I don't think you're giving people enough credit. Rocket Man was a huge hit and he's like the second lead. Showpiecer, King Kong, huge movies where he had a big role. Everyone's Mom loves Billy Elliott!

 

Y'know what? Saw this tweet, and total outta left-field choice, Matthew Lillard.

 

He just wanted to go scuba diving!!!

 

Welcome to the club @shauner111. Doesn't feel so good, does it?

 

I still think we can do much better. I don't need the next Mad Hatter to act like he's in a Tik Tok video.

 

Let it be known that I am not advocating for him to play Joker. He looks too impish BUT...a lot of people know him as Harry Potter's ******* cousin and he's been in a lot of other movies with Pattinson, most recently The Devil All The Time.

 

Melling should be Mad Hatter if anything, not Joker.

 

Melling was the most memorable part of both ‘Buster Scruggs’ and ‘The Devil All The Time’ IMO. I’d love to see him as Tetch. He’d do a good Riddler too, not seeing him as Joker though.

 

Sherlock and Fleabag’s Andrew Scott.

 

I want a look closer to this for Hatter. Maybe with a psychedelic Cheshire Cat shirt and plaid pants.

 

Does he hypnotize people with guitar solos in this scenario?

 

Gordon: I know this is tough, Lisa, but can you tell us what the Mad Hatter did to you?

Lisa: He...he...kept abruptly leaving the room... only to walk out to the backyard...

Gordon: And then?

Lisa: He would...he would...play an epic guitar solo....

Gordon: It's alright, Lisa, you're safe now. But I just have one more question to ask. Were the guitar solos rad?

Lisa: Yes...they were pretty rad...

 

Who's Lisa

 

I don't know what it is but I genuinely cannot stand him.

 

Young Willy Wonka man

 

Whoever she is, she's lying, I never hit her, it's BULL**** I DID NOT HIT HUURRR


I did NAAAAAAAaaht.

 

What's that a reference to?

 

Actually, I had an idea of him being a lead singer of a rock band sending subliminal messages through his music while teens are high on drops.

 

That sounds more like Spellbinder

 

Not exactly. Spellbinder is more of an optical illusionist. I was thinking of Hatter being somewhat of a Pied Piper type.

 

So, the Pied Piper then?

 

Not exactly. Similar to how Hatter used police sirens in Arkham Knight.

 

Eh I was just messing
