The British Goode has shown up in Woody Allen's Match Point and the recent thriller The Lookout, each time playing a variation on scumbags that weren't quite as nuanced as the role of Adrian Veidt would require. Here's another relative unknown as far as most audiences are concerned. OzymandiasĪctor: Matthew Goode Do They Match Up? Probably. And yet, word on the street is that Snyder is campaigning to shoot the Tales of the Black Freighter comic-within-a-comic sequences of Watchmen to include on the DVD release of the film, and if so he allegedly wants to cast Butler as the lost sailor from that tale. Back-Up Player: Well, Snyder's 300 star Gerard Butler had been rumored to be up for this role for a time there, so one can't help but be disappointed by his lack of involvement in this film. His early era jokester-esque duds, however, will have to be revised. Does He Need a Costume Update? Not really, at least not his primary leather-ish costume. So as long as Morgan can play Edward Blake, the doomed cold-hearted bastard who fights the good fight and enjoys it way too much, then he's good by us. And that's fine, because we really don't need to know our Watchmen actors - in fact, we'd rather they not be played by stars for the most part. Unless you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy or Supernatural, you probably don't really know who Morgan is. Meanwhile, no word yet on who'll play Laurie's mom, Sally Jupiter (Juspeczyk), who was the original Silk Spectre.Īctor: Jeffrey Dean Morgan Do They Match Up? Maybe.

And the casting of Akerman is a bit of a question mark, since we really don't know much about her - aside from the fact that she's done a bunch of TV appearances and has a couple of high-profile movies coming up ( The Invasion, The Heartbreak Kid).
the Silk Spectre, is an important role in this film because it is, really, one of only two major female characters in the tale. Silk Spectre Actor: Malin Akerman Do They Match Up? Laurie Juspeczyk, a.k.a. Back-Up Player: As good as Wilson is, we still can't help but wonder if maybe this character would be better served by an older-looking actor, like Joaquin Phoenix for example, who was actually rumored in connection with the role at one point. You just can't wear tights and goggles anymore, especially with a paunch. Does He Need a Costume Update? Absolutely, and Snyder has already said he's getting one, making the point that modern superhero films like Spider-Man and Batman have taken the whole notion of the comic book costume to a new level. 60-year-old actor Stephen McHattie ( 300), meanwhile, will be playing the first Nite Owl, Hollis Mason. Either way, Nite Owl's alter ego Dan Dreiberg is one of the deeper characters in the story, and Wilson is absolutely suited to pull off his angst - and his derring-do. He says he'd rather "age" or "de-age" the actors as necessary, which means Wilson may yet get his beer-belly in this film. But this raises another question regarding the Watchmen casting, which is that Snyder has chosen to cast young even though the characters are mostly seen in their middle-aged days (though some flashbacks to their youth also figure in the film). And Wilson, lately of Little Children as well as films like Hard Candy and Running with Scissors, is anything but doughy.
Actor: Patrick Wilson Do They Match Up? Ummm, kinda sorta? The thing is, Nite Owl is generally depicted in the comic book as being a paunchy, middle-aged former superhero (who can't get it up unless he puts on his old costume, by the way).
