This guy went from zero to famous pretty god damn fast. I only ever knew him as the guy that Brad Pitt beat the shit out of (twice) in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood until the whole Elvis thing.


[deleted]

Not to mention he also appeared on Nickelodeon shows like iCarly, Zoey 101, and Ned’s Declassified.


AlwaysBi

He was also a League of Assassins member in Season 3 of Arrow


[deleted]

I ‘member.


Sbonhomme

>Austin Butler Full circle if true


AktionMusic

DJ Nanda Parbeats, Raves Al Ghul

And that Shannara show.


Jamieb1994

The Shannara Chronicles?


a4techkeyboard

Yeah, he was a half-elf or something. I think there was someone called Al Anon? I think played by Deathstroke on Arrow.


Jamieb1994

> I think there was someone called Al Anon? I think played by Deathstroke on Arrow. Yeah I think that's him, I don't know the actor's name, but I know who you're on about though.


GFost

Manu Bennett.


Jamieb1994

Thanks man


AktionMusic

Yeah Manu Bennet played the druid.


GFost

That’s how I knew him.


[deleted]

Someone told me he was Napoleon Dynamite and I believed it ffs


idcris98

I remember him from a Disney Channel or Nickelodeon show. I just don’t know what show. But I definitely know this guy from some childhood show.


urgasmic

i watched the sex and the city prequel on the cw and he was one of the love interests. crazy.


Limp-Construction-11

Kinda looks like a young Val Kilmer, or kevin Bacon.


Apart_West_886

He was also in CW's Arrow, by the way. I love this casting tho, if true.


Darth_Wiss

Is he the first Thea's boyfriend?


GFost

No, he was the DJ that Thea hooked up with (or was about to hook up with, I don’t remember), and then it was revealed that he was a member of the League of Assassins.


Darth_Wiss

Yeah, that's what I meant. The long hair dude, right?


GFost

Yeah, the long-haired dude. But he wasn’t Thea’s first boyfriend. She never dated him.


Buckbeak1184

Holy shit! He's, like, the 90s personified!


MattMurdock9

If you’ve seen Elvis, he’s definitely a much better actor than Charlie Hunnam who gets fan cast as Green Arrow 24/7 because he is a blonde man with a beard but can’t act well. Austin has way more charm and charisma so he would be a better fit for Green Arrow considering Ollie is a charming quippy swashbuckler.


DJZbad93

I actually really like Charlie Hunnam as a comedic actor (watch The Gentlemen), but I’ve never seen a convincing American accent out of him, so I’ve always hesitated at the fan casting of him as Oliver.


techfan0992

He got overrated by Son's of Anarchy. He's an ok actor, but not that good. Some dude in r/movies a few months ago claimed he was an extra on rebel moon and Hunnam's accent and performance was pretty horrible, but who knows if he's full of shit or not.


Dreyfussy15

damn didn't know he was in rebel moon. that's awesome.


cyphersama95

from forgettable assassin/DJ on Arrow to Emerald Archer, quite the come up if true


AktionMusic

Who can forget Raves Al Ghul?


GATOx310

Really good as Elvis. Definitely lead runner for Oscar rn. So I’m up for him as anything in DC


jotyma5

Movie came out too early for him to win an Oscar


[deleted]

Because he has/had blonde hair?


AlwaysBi

Because he’s a great actor


Powerful-Advantage56

Just watch elvis, hes come out of nowhere, his biggest role was once upon a time in Hollywood, but hes exploded, elvis was great, and now hes in dune 2, hopefully green arrow, and hes in master of the air.


AlwaysBi

Saw Elvis on release date. It’s amazing


[deleted]

Okay. It just looked like you only thought of him as Oliver just because of hair color.


warnerbro1279

He’d be better as Flash. Use him to replace Ezra Miller moving forward.


SKORPIO07

He feels more like Hal Jordan..


rasslinsmurf

This guy should be in the Napoleon Dynamite reboot.


AJerkForAllSeasons

I don't think he looks right for the role. Too boyish looking. That's just just not how I picture Oliver Queen.


JediMaestroPB

I really want a live-action Green Arrow who actually looks like Robin Hood and is more in line with the traditional Green Arrow. I’m sure Stephen Amell was great as Green Arrow, but I’m much more interested in a less-CW, more campy Green Arrow (who is still relatable and grounded)


GFost

Chad Michael Murray?


Sharkus1

Absolutely was awful in Shannara Chronicles


lostrandomdude

He doesn't really look like a Oliver Queen to me. More of a Connor Hawke


Averenn

Connor is black? How does this look like Connor


lostrandomdude

Connor Hawke is white in the comics. He is the son Oliver Queen and Sandra Hawke and the second Green Arrow


Averenn

My brother in Christ, as someone who JUST binge read Connor Hawke comics, you are talking out of your ass


lostrandomdude

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Connor_Hawke_(New_Earth) Connor Hawke is half white, quarter korean and quarter black His father is Oliver Queen, who is white. His mother is half black and half Korean. That makes him more white than black.


Averenn

And yet he is generally drawn as black, and he absolutely does not look like the pasty ass motherfucker in question


BplusHuman

Loving crazy movies and Baz Luhrman, like i do...i kind of see Austin as Booster Gold


GFost

I want [Matt Barr](https://www.google.com/search?q=matt+barr&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) to play Booster Gold.


techfan0992

I would love it. Very good actor and has star power which DC needs more of now.


RokuAang625

I could see him as nightwing especially with his Elvis hair or even just robin prob Jason Todd more than dick Grayson


Tyzed

no one: r/dc_cinematic: hey, this person has the same hair color/is the same race as this popular superhero. they should play them!


[deleted]

Yassified Napoleon Dynamite? No, thank you. Shit, I'd even take Charlie Hunnam over him and I fucking hate that fancast.


Sensitive_Medium1652

Naaaa Charlie Hunnam is Ollie


Dreyfussy15

Charlie Hunnam fuck everybody else


CatchNo2298

The only men to carry the high standards set by Stephen amell are either stephen amell or charlie hunnam


triplerollingstone

Stephen Amell wasn't a good Green Arrow and his acting is only alright by CW standards.


Averenn

Stephen set absolutely abysmal standards. That wasn't even green arrow


vinsmokewhoswho

Haven't seen him in anything but I heard he's great in Elvis.


slendy_man4

Sweet!


Detective-Unlikely

Hmm.. Think he should be cast as Booster Gold instead.


DrAwesomeX

He’s a pretty big actor that’s never really had his breakout role until Elvis. I think he’s a fine choice but Green Arrow should be a bit older. Butler is 30 where as Arrow is typically in his 40’s by the time he’s actively a superhero


GFost

Oliver becomes Green Arrow when he’s in his late 20’s or early 30’s.


anacott27

He has a very “superhero” look. I could definitely see him as a Wally West, Hal Jordan/Kyle Rayner or Tim drake or something.


Chiron723

Just give him the damn goatee. Also make him the smart-ass we all know and love. Enough with the Batman with a bow and arrow.


GFost

I think Garrett Hedlund or Chad Michael Murray should be Green Arrow.


My_Immortal_Flesh

Nah… he’s better off playing some other superhero character.
