[TMP98]

Feel like Joel Edgerton would be perfect for a villain in this universe

 

[Sawyer]

Described like that, she really sounds a lot like Rob going into his casting. Would make a good counterpart down the line IMO.

 

[Eddie Dean]

I’d go Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn is just way too obvious

 

[Sawyer]

Arnold Wesker. There. I said it.

 

[WatchProtect]

If I may be so bold?

Brendan Gleeson- Dr. Hugo Strange

I need her as Harvie Dent...

Let her cook with the split personality aspect.

 

[antsman41]

I'm surprised we don't know who is playing Maroni... they're filming next month.

I had actually considered the whole Jessica Dent aspect from the Earth One books, but I just wasn’t sure Matt Reeves would take that big a departure from the canon. I mean, making Martha an Arkham instead of a Kane is one thing, but…

Maybe this upcoming announcement from Gunn is more than just DCU stuff?

 

[antsman41]

Maybe, our 'Joker' can get Abbott into a meeting with Reeves soon.

she overacts sometimes but in a fun way so she's perfect for Quinn, I could give her a shot as Ivy too but Olivia Cooke is my Ivy so in that case I would pass on her for that role

 

[Lautox]

imagine this lineup

Skarsgard-Freeze
Goth-Quinn
Cooke-Ivy
Abbott-Dent

 

[Airwings]

imagine this lineup

Skarsgard-Freeze
Goth-Quinn
Cooke-Ivy
Abbott-Dent

Which Skarsgård?

 

[Sawyer]

All of them, switching off from scene to scene, ideally.

 

[SwordOfMorning]

Post-Infinity Pool I am all about Alexander Skarsgard as Black Mask.

 

[WatchProtect]

Ebon Moss-Bachrach- The Ventriloquist

 

[Lautox]

Which Skarsgård?

Alexander

Him as Clayface would be so dope... he can sell the anger and emotion.

 

[Airwings]

Alexander

Oh, are you sure you don't want him for a more action-packed role? A villain giving Batman a run for his money.

I don't think this Batman universe will have action packed villains, sure Freeze can be a more physical threat than the likes of Riddler but Reeves would not use a character like Freeze just to fight Batman on top of a building he is more interested in grounding the characters and using a more character driven way to tell his arc

If it's more about characters and acting, why suggest Alexander along with that ripped body of his when one can go for his father instead? Just a thought

 

[Jordan Elliot]

I wish she could just play Joker.

 

[Lautox]

Paul Mescal as Harvey or too young still?

 

[Lautox]

Julie Madison has been rumoured for the sequel
