10 Actors Who Could Play Red Hood In The Batman

4) Dave Franco

Seeing as he’s almost exclusive starred in comedies up until this point, Dave Franco (the younger brother of James) may seem like an unconventional choice, but there’s a very good reason that Disney is currently considering him for the role of the young Han Solo in one of their upcoming Star Wars spinoffs. He’s a talented guy, and making the leap into an action blockbuster like The Batman would be a smart move for him.

Now, there’s no doubting the fact that the majority of fans would be unsure of him from the second he was cast because of his acting background, but chances are that Franco would really impress if given the chance to do so here. Jason’s Robin was always a rough around the edges wise ass, and that’s something this actor would absolutely nail.

3) Michael B. Jordan

Who ever said that Robin had to be white?

It’s already clear from the inclusion of Cyborg in Justice League and the fact that they’ve cast actors like Jason Momoa and Gal Gadot that Warner Bros. want to bring some diversity to the DC Films Universe, so there’s absolutely nothing to say that Jason Todd couldn’t be black.

The former sidekick’s background is one which lends itself to any race, and after the abysmal Fantastic Four reboot, Michael B. Jordan deserves a comic book movie role which gives him the chance to really shine.

His performance in Creed was outstanding, and it’s easy to picture Jordan taking the Red Hood on the same kind of emotional journey that his character went on there. In all honesty, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t impress here.
