Character: Carnage/ Kletus Kassidy Actor: Sam Rockwell
Why: Sam Rockwell is a veteran actor who has a history of playing villainous roles. Whether it's Seven Psychopaths or The Green Mile, Rockwell always delivers a dark performance. Taking on the role of the serial killer turned symbiote owner would be a natural transition for the former Justin Hammer.
Character: Captain Cold/Leonard Snart Actor: Gabriel Macht
Why: The
authority, improvisation, and ruthlessness that Gabriel Macht brings to the role of Harvey Specter—one of New York’s best attorneys—in USA Network’s, Suits, can easily translate to the tactics Captain Cold employs as a veteran DC
villain and leader of the Rogues. Cold and Harvey
both heavily revolve around their strict moral disciplines, and the passion
that Macht portrays Harvey’s fierce loyalty to those under his charge, mirror
that of Cold’s approach with the Rogues. Gabriel Macht also has demonstrated
his comic book chops in the Frank Miller noir, The Spirit, where he
plays the titular character. Although the heavily stylized flick under
performed at the box office, Macht convincingly plays his character up as the
small-time “superhero” aspiring of greater things, including an oft-referenced
metaphorical “marriage” with the city (coincidentally named Central City). It’s
also fun to see Gabriel Macht showcase his mastery of “gravitas” in the face of
Samuel L Jackson’s ludicrous turn as the dandy supervillain, the Octopus. The
flick also showcases Macht as a physical specimen, which is much in line with
the New 52 take on Captain Cold. The man is well capable of rocking the sleeveless
hoodie and Cold’s signature visor.
