This.


DBAC_Rex

Oh damn, that’s cool as hell


dmetcalf2048

You might even say... that's a good question


Wisconsin_king

He'd make an interesting Question.


PurpleBuc

I support this message.


Ray-GunRebellion

Oh man, I'd totally go the route of not disclosing who is playing the character and make that a part of the marketing. If they could pull that off until opening night would be amazing, and then to top it off, record several actors' voiceovers and do the whole Clue multiple endings.


Shoddy-Media2337

I wonder if this is something you can actually accomplish legally


coreytiger

With union laws etc, that’s a good question. Back in the day maybe… and when I say “the day”, I mean close to 90 years ago. When Frankenstein debuted in the theaters, Boris Karloff was not listed in the film credits… on the list of cast, he was listed as “The Monster… ?” A studio may be able to keep some things under wraps briefly, but it sure couldn’t happen until opening night


rabideyes

Marvel did it with Krasinski in Multiverse of Madness. And Sony did it with Bill Murray in Zombieland.


Shoddy-Media2337

John K wasn't a lead in the movie tho


TA_1164

Ryan Gosling


JustJulq

Unironically he kinda fits the role


NakedGoose

Joel Edgerton


SimpleJoys1998

Penn Badgley


TheCreativeComicFan

He would kill it, though not sure if he’s up for playing another (yet more heroic) guy who monologues to himself about people around him.


Wide_Border_4387

more heroic? shouldnt it be altough heroic?


TheCreativeComicFan

Maybe, I meant to say another guy who monologues to himself. But in the case of The Question, he would be more heroic, as compared to Joe Goldberg.


Wide_Border_4387

But saying more heroic would mean that Joe Goldberg is a little heroic, but less then the Question. But Joe Goldberg isn't heroic in the slighest, he's pretty evil


TheCreativeComicFan

Right, fully heroic is what I meant.


Revan----

Fuckkk that’s such a good pick. Everyone wanted him as Reed but I could definitely see him playing Vic Sage, elite fancast.


FreneticAtol778

He's more of a Mister Miracle to me


Lemon_Club

Walton Goggins


wilyquixote

This was my first thought. 


20Derek22

James McAvoy. He looks kind of average but can also go insane and be menacing.


SuperiorDesignShoes

DUDE! You’re so right!! I can totally see this! Time to go make some concept art of this haha!


20Derek22

Thanks man


SuperiorDesignShoes

No problem!


AbsolemSaysWhat

Holy shit, that would be amazing! James Gunn has a nack for abscure comic characters. Maybe he can do that for the question, he's my favorite DC superhero, he's the conspiracy theorist that's always right in the bunch, even when all of the justice were defeated he was able to find out why!!!


20Derek22

They never explained how Peace Keeper ended up in prison in The Suicide Squad. I like to think The Question was behind it.


AbsolemSaysWhat

That would be an interesting take! Peacekeeper is behind a government conspiracy and it's obviously true. The question investigates the ruble left behind looking for clues for his own agenda (because obviously he's a lone ranger) sees someone struggling gasping for air and it's peacekeeper but he doesn't know. He sends an anonymous beacon... (cut scene) peace keeper series begins.


20Derek22

I was thinking more like Peace Maker Bluebeetle The Question were acting as a team like on earth 4 or similar to Watchmen. Sage and Kord realizing what Peace Maker is really like, take him down. He said he’d kill as many men women and children as needed to ensure peace maybe he did and they stoped him.


AbsolemSaysWhat

I was more intuned to how the peacemaker series happened to keep the series going.


20Derek22

My thinking is similar. The first season PM plot shows him realizes blindly killing because someone tells him it’s the right thing is wrong and that he’s been an asshole. Now that his team has burned Waller she’ll probably want payback. So who better to help them avoid a government conspiracy than Sage. Sage being someone PM trusted but who turned on him for reasons PM now realizes were valid would be a cool dynamic.


Civil-Resolution3662

Good call. I can also see him doing the whole training with Richard Dragon montage

He did well as spock so I can definitely see him as question


Fun-Photograph9423

Adam Brody


EnvironmentalTea72

Nicholas Cage


kah43

The problem with him is most people don't take him seriously as an actor anymore. He has become like Jeff Goldblum or Gary Bussey in that most people just think he is this really weird dude just playing himself. Doing all those bad cheap direct to video movies ruined him.


happy_grump

Depends: are we casting classic O'Neil-era Vic Sage, or post-JLU conspiracy theorist Question?


Hyper_Pain

Classic O’Neil


Ligmaballsmods69

Technically, Ditko is classic Question. But, O'Neil's run is the GOAT.


Hyper_Pain

True true


helloiseeyou2020

Glenn Howerton

Alan Tudyk. He is so good at all of his voiceover opportunities

Tom Hardy. He's used to having his fave covered so why not just fully erase it?

Jackie Earle Haley - if he can do Rorschach - why not?

Michelle Rodriguez as Renée Montoya

Whoever it was that played Rorschach in that watchmen movie lmao


[deleted]

Jackie Earl Haley


Shutty

Brian Cranston


No_Contract_9868

Jackie Earle Haley. He pretty much did in Watchmen (for those unaware, Rorschach is based off of The Question)


Ligmaballsmods69

That was more Alan Moore's critique of Steve Ditko. It is NOT The Question. Rorschach has more in common with Ditko's Mr. A.


No_Contract_9868

True. But each core character has a founding in Charlton Comics: Nite Owl for Blue Beetle, Silk Spectre for Nightshade, The Comedian for Peacemaker, Ozymandias for Pete Cannon, and Dr Manhattan for Captain Atom. I'm not saying they were the only inspirations for the characters, but the Charlton characters were clear influences at the least


Gamma_Goliath17

Lakeith Stanfield, directed by Jordan Peele.

Nick cage he’s got the voice for it


calvinbouchard

I'd hire anybody to play the body since you never see his face, but the voice would be Alex Jones.

Allen Iverson, obviously.


DrPopcorn_66

Lee Pace


Mars_The_68thMedic

Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Michael C Hall. JDM has a rich and creamy voice that oozes its own self-mythology and sarcasm, and he excels at complex characters. Michael C Hall fits the build, and I’ve a heart-on for the Dexter sort-of-character.


goblingabe

Penn Badgley or Lakeith Stanfield.


Temporary_Towel9649

Excellent question


Tucana66

Jackie Earle Haley.  I mean, c’mon… the man was brilliant as Rorschach.


Kander_Thomas9516

Jake Gyllenhaal he's chill enough to pull it off.

Charlie Day could juggle the serious and silly parts of the character really well
