Stellan or Alexander.

 

[Lautox]

Which Skarsgard there’s a lot!

alex as freeze and stellan as papa freeze

 

[Eddie Dean]

Who will be Baby Freeze

 

[Airwings]

But nobody knows his name lol

Does it matter?
Isn't it more important if he fits the character or not?

 

[WayneMB]

Daniel Craig

oh man. forgot about that. he is my top pick for victor fries

But that wasn’t my question. We have all discussed great lesser known actors, character actors who can play Freeze. I was asking ppl to name some stars with weight behind their name and a instant recognition if their face popped up in a trailer or on a poster.

 

[Lautox]

I still believe that guy is the actor you cast to voice him in a series or animated film but not for the live action version

 

[BobJM]

My question to you peeps is: what actors that are movie star level can you see working for VICTOR FRIES?

Adam Driver could be cool for Fries, if you’re thinking ‘big’ names. Driver might even fun as Hugo Strange / Jeremiah Arkham, and become his own version of Batman like in Batman: Prey. Maybe the Arkham Knight. Or heck maybe he’s just Jean-Paul Valley/Azazel lol.

 

[Boom]

Black Mask / Luca Marinelli
Ventriloquist / Bob Odenkirk
Killer Croc / Pablo Schreiber
Deadshot / Michael Mando
Victor Zsasz / Jamie Campbell Bower
Mr. Freeze / Daniel Craig
Hugo Strange / Ralph Ineson
Mad Hatter / Toby Jones

 

[Lautox]

Rory Cochrane as Bullock

 

[Lautox]

Olivia Cooke as Poison Ivy would be nice

 

[shauner111]

My hope is to see the real couple of Olivia Cooke and Christopher Abbott playing the Dent’s.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Erendira Ibarra (Sense 8, Matrix Resurrections) for Renee Montoya.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I could dig it. Would love to see her in full cop gear at first like BTAS.

 

[shauner111]

Frances McDormund or Jamie Lee Curtis would be the best bet for Leslie Thompkins imo.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jennifer Jason Leigh

I could see them casting an african american actreess like in imposter

 

[Eddie Dean]

Viola Davis

 

[shauner111]

Jennifer Jason Leigh

She’s literally the opposite of who I’d cast. She’s not warm at all. Very cold.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Maybe she could be Mr Freeze then!

 

[shauner111]

 

[Lautox]

I am really starting to see it

 

[Eddie Dean]

He would never do it

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Viola Davis

I still like Vera Farmiga or Thandiwe Newton for a "younger" Dr. Tompkins.

*in the comics, Ra’s was initially depicted as being a descendent of a nomadic Chinese tribe. Later there were hints that Ra’s was Eastern Roman, and also Middle Eastern. He has been played by Caucasian actors and if you count Ken Watanabe’s Ra’s decoy, he has also been played by a Japanese actor already. I think Sanada and Mizuno would nail these roles, and I am open to a wide range of ethnicities being considered for these characters because the comics have not been completely consistent.
