8) Liam Hemsworth
Why hasn’t Liam Hemsworth landed a comic book movie role yet? While some fans remain convinced that Marvel will draft him in to replace older brother Chris when he decides to move on from playing Thor, there are far more interesting things the actor could be doing in the superhero genre than following in those particular footsteps.
A role as juicy as this in the DC Films Universe fits the bill in that respect, and after gaining a following thanks to The Hunger Games franchise, Liam could be a real asset to this Batman movie (the Caped Crusader hardly needs help at the box office, but it would still be good to cast a familiar face as the Red Hood).
The Expendables 2Â already proved that Liam is capable of playing a badass, too, Â which is definitely a big requirement for this role.
7) Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Actors have been known to jump between Marvel and DC Comics movies before now, so there’s really no reason to think that Aaron Taylor-Johnson would say no to the role of the Red Hood after playing Quicksilver in Avengers: Age of Ultron last year.
After all, that film wrapped up his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a very definitive fashion, and it’s unlikely he has a sequel option looming over him which would cause a problem here. The versatile British actor has a string of great performances behind him, and after getting super jacked for Kick-Ass 2 a few years back, he most definitely has the right look for a Jason Todd who returns to Gotham to take out Batman.
That being said, I suppose there’s still a risk here that Marvel has some plans for him down the road.
