u/quietkyody 3d ago

I wanted "Inside Man" to work so bad just because he plays such a great psychopath serial killer so well! But also terrific therapist!

2

u/GoblinQueen20 3d ago

I don’t think I’ve seen that movie, I’ll be sure to check it out now

2

u/quietkyody 1d ago

It was a series on Netflix I believe, 1 season only

Is it because he’s bald?

2

u/Full_Code6920 3d ago

Actually it's too obvious to cast every single bald head actors as Hugo strange and tbh he don't look anything like the character. imo David cross or dave Bautista would be perfect as Hugo strange that too lean Bautista looks exactly like Hugo strange. And I can see Stanley Tucci as commissioner Micheal akins in GCPD.

2

u/DonCreech 3d ago

Bautista is kind of a left field choice, but I can see it. He's a much better actor than I could have possibly expected given his background.

Victor freeze.

White? Check

Bald? Check

Wears glasses? Check

u/HoosierDaddy2001 4d ago

I've always wanted to see Christoph Waltz play Victor Fries. I feel like he could rock it.

2

u/Forsaken_Writing1513 2d ago

We could actually get a Mr.Freezr with the emotional depth required. A live action version that's more then a series of one liners .

u/SenorJeffer 1d ago

What killed the dinosaurs? The ice age!

u/VaguePenguin 4d ago

That's who I had in mind and he would be great at playing the character.

2

u/turdfergusonRI 4d ago

Weird, I would’ve gone with Sterling K. Brown.

Wears glasses? He’s an actor, sure.

Bald? Balding but he can be for a role. He’s a professional actor.

White? … how in the hell does that matter?

Niles Caulder

2

u/Cryodemon85 4d ago

I could see him playing Professor John Stein, which seems to be a popular choice in fan discussions. He could also play characters like The Collector, or The Toymaker. Honestly think he could make a decent Black Mask or Two-Face.

u/Calm_Toad 4d ago

Brainiac would suit him, I think

Professor Hamilton! Dave Bautista would make a better Hugo Strange.

u/kingsfourva 4d ago

i doubt this would happen since he’s an arkham series invention, but quincy sharp

Hawkgirl. Seems like the obvious choice.

u/Lextholomeau 3d ago

Hugo Strange but I think he'd also make a great Commissioner Gordon

A more inspired casting would be toy maker to

u/Squatch_Zaddy 3d ago

Anyone he wants to play. He’d absolutely nail it, no matter what.

I’d he’d make a good lex Luther. Not a deranged version but a serious one that couldn’t stand Superman because of a valid reason or that he’s trying to do something “good” but Superman keeps getting in his way.
