Joe Manganiello
Joe Manganiello is a beast of a man. He has the right stature for the role, he already has the muscles (as the ladies saw in the Magic Mike movies), and he can certainly do action. If many (if not all) of the actors on this list would need some CGI enhancements and some stunt performers for this role, Joe Manganiello could just show up on the set, put on an eye-patch, and start working.
Come on – you expected to see him on this list. His name has been thrown into the mix ever since the Suicide Squad casting began. It didn’t happen then, but maybe it will now.
Of course, he already said on Twitter that he was never supposed to portray Deathstroke in Suicide Squad. But maybe that was a hint – and, as we all saw, he wasn’t in that movie. Right? After all, it wouldn’t be the first time an actor has tried unconvincingly to debunk rumors. Jason Momoa anyone?
While I did say that Ron Perlman’s casting as Deathstroke would make my day, there is no one better than Joe Manganiello for this role.
What do you think? What other actors should be taken into consideration for this role?
