I don't know man I think Manganiello could definitely pull off that grizzled look. He's already a pretty imposing/scary looking dude as is just like Mamoa and physically he can easily stack up to Batfleck. Just imagining the kind of fight scenes you could have between those two directed by someone with Gareth Evans level of talent is an opportunity I hope Warner Bros doesn't miss out on.
I’m talking about acting, not the look. As an actor, Joe sucks. And I say that as someone who was even willing to give him a chance as Clark back in the day when he was up for that and I’d only seen him in True Blood. But I’ve seen him in a lot more since then, and now I can honestly say Esai Morales projects the intensity and intelligence I’d expect to see from Slade, while I don’t believe Joe to be remotely capable of it. There’s a reason this guy looks like that, had women drooling over him for several years and never even came close to being a leading man in Hollywood, imo.

He's similar to Mamoa. They have a charm, a cool-macho quality that is fun to watch, but they lack a subtlety underneath that in their acting. Like, when Joe is playing angry, it looks like an actor putting on an angry face. I do think Mamoa has more potential and has grown as an actor, but there are similarities there. Slade is as brilliant as Batman is as a strategist, a thinker, a tactician, he's much more of a nuanced character which requires an actor capable of playing nuance.

so harsh!


I like it.
 
Let’s not forget that Arnold became a superstar with much less acting chops then either Joe or Jason..
 
I haven't seen Manganiello in a lot of stuff either, but I'm more than willing to give him a chance. Mamoa impressed me big time in Aquaman and I was really skeptical going into the movie coming off of Justice League. I think given the right material or hopefully a good script he can definitely make the role his own, but for me personally Esai is going to be a hard act to follow, because he was so great in the role.

Momoa was fun in aquaman. and his charm and likablility made the movie better than what it was. As an actor i feel like he has grown over the years. He has gotten better and better.Since game of thrones, its has improved still feel he has room to grow. Manganiello on the other hand we have seen less of him in a leading row so its tough to say he will be great but we should all hope. his new idie superhero movie looks interesting



IMO ZS is not the director to bring out the best in actors from all his movies i have seen. Then again that is not his strong point and it doesnt need to be. if it about looking good ZS will do that.
 
The movie that did it for me was The Bad Batch (Momoa that is). But he’s never terrible. He’s always fine at the very least. He has charisma, he just needs better writing and directing. I feel like Dune with Denis Villeneuve will make a difference.
