Wait Til They Get A Load of Us: The Villains Thread

My big dark horse pick is Bill Hader.

Failing that, I'd love Matt Dillon, Viggo Mortensen, Jesse Plemons, Christopher Abbott, Guy Pearce, Jude Law, maaaybe Michael Fassbender.

If it's Mark Strong then.....meh. I'd warm up to it but to me he's no Lon Chaney (who was reportedly one of the original inspirations), plus this is his third big DC thing where he's playing a big villain. I'd MUCH rather have new blood, but if I had to choose then he's Hugo Strange/Roman Sionis material to me, or even that Rex Calabrese character Oswald talked about in the first teaser. But with that being said.....I can't rule it out.
Hader would be an awesome choice. :like:

Reminds me a bit of James Wolk, not a very big name, but he worked on a series produced by Reeves
 
I thought Joshua Jackson played a pretty convincing lawyer in When They See Us.

I like Gleeson for Hush too.

Jude Law is interesting—I’d actually love seeing him in this universe. Dent could be a good role for him.
 
You know what I honestly don't love Theo James. I think he works in very specific roles White Lotus for example. I think he could almost do Green Arrow though.

Jude Law is interesting—I’d actually love seeing him in this universe. Dent could be a good role for him.

Yeah, it’s been a little while since I’ve seen Gleason and I was thinking of how good he was in Ex Machina and even Star Wars. Made me think he could make Hush really vicious and creepy.

And Law would be a fun addition. Definitely looks good bald and he’s about the right age for Fries (who I usually picture as middle-aged).
 
Theo James would be a good smarmy wannabe-Bruce Wayne character. Like a Maxwell Lord

Have you seen The Gentlemen? It might sell you on him. I’d watch him in anything after that.
 
The only acceptable choice for Hush is Jesse Plemons.
 
Gonna have to disagree with you on that one. I like Plemmons but after sitting through Kinds of Kindness, I need a break from him for a while.
 
Yeah, I don’t know how they would do Hush but if they go the way the character was originally written, he starts out as similar to (public persona) Bruce, suave, handsome and rich. I don’t really see Plemmons as that type. Gleeson doesn’t totally match that either but I could see it easier with him, especially if he put on some muscle.
 
I have this wild theory…

I think that Eve really is the Clayface of this universe and that Oz is going to disfigure her face horribly. Then Eve would turn out to be a sort of combination of Clayface and Calendar Girl from the animated series.
