>Kyle Chandler So the random guy only FNL fans knew about until a few weeks ago when he was humored for Cable is under consideration? Right. >Edward Norton kek >Taylor Kitsch Because his films are always so successful.
Nathaniel Barnes
Clive Owen would be a pretty good Deathstroke if they gave him some decent dialogue. But I feel like they should cast a no name.
Jose Davis
>So the random guy only FNL fans knew about until a few weeks ago when he was humored for Cable is under consideration? Right.
To be frank, he was in WB's Wolf of Wall Street and it was wildly successful, and now he's a lead in critically acclaimed TV drama, he's not that unknown.
But yeah, that's probably only because he was considered in Deadpool.
Aaron Jones
>Kit Harington
Oh god let them pick him

Joseph Powell
>no talks of potentially casting Aidan GIllen Fine Just cast Tom Hardy then and cast Aidan as Bane later for the ultimate role reversal
Parker Fisher
>Edward Norton I approve of it if nothing more than to see Afflecks autism beat the shit out of Nortons controlling autism
Justin Sanchez
>>Tom Hardy has expressed interest in joining DC Film Universe but the studio is willing to find him a much bigger role than one-time villain. he really loves DC, doesn't he?
He was confirmed by studio as Rick Flag in Suicide Squad but had to drop it due to The Revenant reshoots.
Talk about dodging a bullet.
Ian Fisher
He wants people to stop inquisitively asking him Bane?
Bentley Butler

Damn poor guy. It seems he really wants to be part of DC. He even follows Zack Snyder in twitter.
Jonathan Cooper
>According to the source closely connected to the two of them, Matt Damon served as a consultant for the script, sometimes answering calls from Affleck in the middle of the night and helping him whenever the writer and director of upcoming Batman film was stuck along the way. Apparently Clive Owen was Damon's first and only suggestion when Ben was looking for someone to play a "grizzled and meticulous assassin" having remembered working with him on the set of The Bourne Identity fifteen years ago.
