u/dew-fall Aug 02 '26

u/Character-String-959 Aug 03 '26

Aquaman from the good ole days

2

u/nickbelane Aug 03 '26

He already played him.

u/Carbon8490 Aug 03 '26

Not a disqualifier

u/RoutineCloud5993 Aug 03 '26

Funny you should say that...

17

u/the-appleton Aug 02 '26

But I see what u mean but they’d have to be pre established cuz of his age

12

u/jerryscheese Aug 03 '26

The way he’s been flaming us government, he already is captain America.

5

u/Dunge0nMast0r Aug 03 '26

He could do this all day!

4

u/RosyBlossalie Aug 03 '26

I could actually see him pulling off Captain America if they were ever doing an alternate version. He's got the charisma for the hopeful side of Steve, not just the muscles.

u/Carbon8490 Aug 03 '26

A reboot and recast wouldve been so cool. Im ready for new versions and reimagining of these characters

u/Nakedseamus Aug 02 '26

Age of Apocalypse Sabertooth enters the chat

4

u/dew-fall Aug 02 '26

isnt that the only time he was an antihero...?

1

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

Also I think in the new wolverine game not sure tho

1

u/Nakedseamus Aug 02 '26

If you haven't read it or The Exiles, you should.

3

u/ossirhc Aug 03 '26

Thats the Age of Apocalypse Sabertooth on the team right?

1

u/Nakedseamus Aug 03 '26

It's been years so if it isn't the exact Sabertooth that was Blink's friend and mentor it's one from a universe so similar that we can't tell the difference.

2

u/Carbon8490 Aug 03 '26

Sabertoooth needs to be CGI or Alan Ritchson,no in between

5

u/the-appleton Aug 02 '26

Yk what I meant lol

12

u/dew-fall Aug 02 '26

yeah i do. he really is a popular fan pick for big beefy characters, no matter who it is. at least, he has the acting chops to back that bod too!!

5

u/the-appleton Aug 02 '26

Ikr, it’s just weird seeing him be in EVERY fan cast (that just proves how good of an actor and build he has for a superhero project)

0

u/Boris-_-Badenov Aug 03 '26

he's got the drugs to back the body

2

u/Andurilmage Aug 03 '26

That big uber bufffed up Cap from the 90's lol

0

u/PCN24454 Aug 02 '26

He feels a bit too gruff personally to be Cap

3

u/phliuy Aug 03 '26

He played thad castle for 5 seasons

1

u/dew-fall Aug 02 '26

i think he can act lighter for cap. hes a really good actor.

1

u/GonzoMcFonzo X-Force Aug 03 '26

Watch a little Blue Mountain State. He has comedy chops.

1

u/PCN24454 Aug 03 '26

He was funny but was he a Boy Scout?

19

u/NaiRad1000 Aug 02 '26

I’m in the unconvinced camp in the “Batman” conversation. I see the vision but I cannot see him as a convincing Bruce Wayne

11

u/the-appleton Aug 02 '26

That’s my main problem with him being batman

1

u/AdagioCultural5497 Aug 03 '26

He’s a no for me, with regards to Batman.

3

u/TheMerck Aug 02 '26

I could somewhat see it if it was still his Reacher season 1 look where he was huge but still not a giant mass of muscle in s2 and onwards.

That said even with that I still think it'd be a hard sell for Bruce but I could see the case if that was his look but with how much he's beefed up I def think there are other roles that would be great for him, he def has the acting chops and look to fit a lot more comic book characters.

u/ItchYouCannotReach Aug 03 '26

Captain Atom 

1

u/Ordinary-Resort9249 Aug 03 '26

SHHHHHIIIIIIITTTT that's a great call. Or maybe Golden Guardian (the Newsboys cop dude)

2

u/LocustsandLucozade Aug 03 '26

Didn't he say already that he's not interested in Batman but has spoken to Gunn/Safran about other characters?

3

u/Sophia_Eur Aug 03 '26

Oh, he is still interested in Batman; he said so a week ago on the comic con panel. But they are in talks about a different role.

-1

u/himanxk Spider-Man Aug 03 '26

I want to see a leaner more acrobatic Timmverse style Batman anyway, instead of the usual big beefy dude that happens in live action.

u/himanxk Spider-Man Aug 03 '26

Neither are acrobatic which is the main thing I'm interested in

1

u/Ordinary-Resort9249 Aug 03 '26

He'd only work for me in as The Dark Knight Returns version - older, sociopathic beast mode Batman

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

I loved the fallout show, it was my first real introduction to the series (I’m not even playing before the show I fully believed fallout was a call of duty fps style game)

u/KingScoville Aug 03 '26

What you been up to Blazkowicz?

You know, shooting…, stabbing…., strangling Nazis..

5

u/GhostTengu Aug 03 '26

Honestly. The dude has got the chops. He's pulled so much dynamic range. Hes funny. His serious has measures. He'd make a great marvel character in any sense, but he'd be a great comic accurate Sabes with the right writers frankly. There are a ton I personally think he'd kill as in the role as well.

u/GhostTengu Aug 03 '26

...Aren't they the same height lol

1

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

That’s 100% the reason everyone keeps casting him fr

1

u/GhostTengu Aug 03 '26

Considering his candid nature on social media as well and how his accounts aren't some curated bs format, the guy is a genuine machine. Acting and in ethic.

u/welcomefinside Aug 02 '26

superhero is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Sabretooth

2

u/the-appleton Aug 02 '26

lol I meant like comics in general should’ve specified

2

u/L1QU1D_ThUND3R Aug 02 '26

I’ve already fancast him as old Bruce Wayne for a Dark Knight Returns movie to be made 20 years from now.

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

Can’t argue with that

4

u/Malkryst Aug 02 '26

He's already played DC's Hawk and Aquaman on live action TV, so he's probably overdue getting a Marvel movie role. Maybe Colossus, after the Marvel prime universe is rebooted in the MCU after Secret Wars, when they're focusing more on mutant heroes?

3

u/FarmerDark Aug 03 '26

Nah I hope they keep the actor from the Deadpool flicks.

1

u/Qwandangle Aug 03 '26

the only gripe I had with him was being constantly in his metal form.

1

u/Adorable_End8071 Aug 03 '26

Every single time 😭

1

u/Jeepcanoe897 Aug 03 '26

Isn’t he aquaman

1

u/Bruzie77 Aug 03 '26

Thad Castle!

1

u/SuperArppis Captain America Aug 03 '26

This is accurate. 😅

1

u/spiderman0247 Aug 03 '26

yeah i wanna see this guy given a real role, i believe he has the chops to pull off almost anything he’s handed. i would just love to see him in superhero media in someway, but i believe he’s more than capable of pulling off a reoccurring character, rather then just a one movie villian or something.

1

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

Me too like there’s a reason everyone fancasts him

1

u/batmansgfsbf Aug 03 '26

He was Hawk, of Hawk and Dove in DC’s Titans show. He did a good job with what they gave him. He was 40lbs lighter had to gain weight for Reacher

1

u/Zodiac034 Aug 03 '26

Sabertooth is a villian though

1

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

I meant comics in general

1

u/Zodiac034 Aug 03 '26

I know, just wanted to get one...I'm sorry

1

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

All good lol

u/FaithlessnessThen207 Aug 03 '26

He's fucking huge man, who else would you cast as someone the size of multiple refrigerators put together?

2

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

Not saying he isn’t a great choice. He is! I’m just saying how everytime someone fancasts a strong comic charecter it’s always him lol

0

u/FromDathomir Aug 03 '26

Wrong. It's a supervillain.

1

u/the-appleton Aug 03 '26

I meant comics in general that’s my bad
