The Penguin Casting Thread

A little unconventional, but: James McAvoy

I still want Timothy Spall or Alfred Molina, but I would be perfectly fine with guys like Stephen Graham, Ray Winstone, Brendan Gleeson or John Goodman.

McAvoy as Clayface.

Alfred Molina would be cool, and he's superhero movie royalty...

Pairs up well with fan-fav Willem Dafoe as Joker

I think he’d be good too. I’ve never seen him do something more lowly and nasty though, which is what I want from Penguin. Someone who only has a veneer of class.

I'd like Penguin to be kind of a cross between Burgess Meredith and Danny DeVito. No, I wouldn't have him living in the sewer but I like the idea of him being this nasty, obnoxious man who portrays himself as classy. He would be the human embodiment of a gold-plated toilet.

 

[The Joker]

If Reeves is considering Penguin then he should read Penguin: Pain and Prejudice.

It is the most deep and scary version of the Penguin I've ever read. Seriously, you would be terrified to even look at that Penguin in the wrong way.

Batman Returns already did Trump as a villain.

Lol, there you go. But I'd like something vaguely inspired by DeVito's Penguin among other things. But like I said, he wouldn't be a sewer freak, just someone that is disgusting, corrupt, greedy, someone with a dark aura to them, with an aristocratic veneer.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Good choice! I'd support that!

So, I was thinking today... people's thoughts on Jonah Hill or Jack Black as Penguin?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jonah Hill is too skinny now.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Not hard for him to gain in back. Also, Eddie Dean... looking at your avatar, James Belushi wouldn't be a bad choice for Harvey Bullock.

 

[MadderMaximus]

Yeah, I've always thought Belushi would've been a good Bullock.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jim Belushi should be Rupert Thorne.

 

[Sawyer]

You know what just hit me?

Spoiler

 

[Lobo]

Toby Jones as Penguin

 

[Iceman]

I’m sure Ray Winstone could do a great job.

 

[The Shape]

They should cast an actual penguin in the role, to ensure that the SJWs don't get upset or offended.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Jonah Hill is too skinny now.

Give him a few months; he'll balloon back up.

 

[MadderMaximus]

You know what just hit me?

Spoiler

I'd love him in some capacity, but not sure about Penguin.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Odenkirk would be a really good Rupert Thorne.

 

[David H.]

Odenkirk as The Penguin, David Cross as The Riddler.

 

[Web-Head]

I like Michael Stuhlbarg for Penguin

 

[Rorschach2012]

Jonah Hill or Steve Carrell are the only options I’ve seen that really excite me. PSH would’ve been perfect though.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Jim Belushi should be Rupert Thorne.

I’ve never been able to separate him from According to Jim
