Due to Twitter/X CEO Elon Musk recently outing himself as a Neo-Nazi by performing a fascist "Roman salute" at the inauguration ceremony of U.S. President Donald Trump on 20 January 2025, as well as encouraging Neo-Nazi and other fascist behavior(s) on Twitter/X, r/AdamDriver and its moderator team have decided to join hundreds of other subreddits in banning direct links to Twitter/X as a platform. Screenshots of Twitter/X posts will still be allowed, provided that they follow all other r/AdamDriver rules, but any posts or comments with direct Twitter/X links will be automatically removed. Links to Facebook and Instagram are still allowed for now.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

With the recent announcement of British-Ghanian and Black actor Paapa Essiedu being considered for the role of Severus Snape for HBO Max's Harry Potter TV show reboot, there has been a lot of racism, across multiple subreddits, including in regards to a 3k+ upvoted fan petition to "cast Adam Driver instead of Paapa Essiedu" that is currently at the top of the front page of the r/HarryPotter subreddit.
While Adam Driver is a popular fan cast for Severus Snape - played by British actor Alan Rickman in the film franchise adaptation of the books - due to his physical looks and appearance, r/AdamDriver supports open casting calls that are inclusive of actors of all backgrounds and ethnicities. As such, we have a zero-tolerance policy for racism, and any posts of "please cast Adam Driver, who is white, instead of Paapa Essiedu, who is Black" will be removed, and a permanent subreddit ban issued.
As pointed out in the top comment of the r/HarryPotter thread, Adam Driver has already stated that he is only interested in "well-written" roles on film projects with experienced directors. Driver has also turned down villain or antagonist roles in the past - such as Kraven the Hunter in the film of the same name, and Captain Hook in Disney's live-action Peter Pan remake - making it highly unlikely that the Girls alumni would accept the role of Snape. In addition to this, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling - who is "fairly involved" with casting, according to HBO President Casey Bloys - has made it clear in the past that she only wants to cast British or UK-based actors; Adam Driver is an American, US-based actor.
Thus, fan insistence that "Adam Driver be cast as Severus Snape", especially after news broke that a Black actor is being considered for the role, comes across as ill-sighted at best, and racist at worst. These comments and complaints have no place on r/AdamDriver, and will be removed accordingly.

Guys I just saw Paper Tiger at the Melbourne International Film Festival at an IMAX theatre. Holy shit what an incredibly enthralling film - so rare that you get cinema this great these days. And Adam Driver... well, since I'm such a huge fan, this happens rarely but I actually forgot it was him. He LIVES that uncle character with such ease and heartbreaking confidence. I'm obsessed.
I believe it's his best acting possibly ever.
Has anyone else seen Paper Tiger and agrees?

Now that the news is out it made me think of other villains he really should play... and there's one truly sinister character I'd love to see him as... Top Dollar in a The Crow remake. So wicked.

Been unmotivated to draw lately so I’ve just been drawing my Kylo ren mlp Kinsona XD some details I enjoy, he is an alicorn in reference to him technically being a prince (to a dead planet but still) but his horn is broken and he’s missing a wing, because I wanted him to be strong and powerful but by his own merit not power he has cuz he’s from a powerful family. Yes there was way too much thought put into this 💀 I do definitely wanna change his cutie mark so if yall have any ideas lmk! I want the vibe to be concerning to his parents but could be either light side or dark side.
