I think he would have been more appropriate for the movie version of Denny “the Spirit” Colt (minus the plagiarized healing factor). The intended humor would then have been lots funnier. And, thereby, probably more successful in keeping me from walking out like I did, three months ago, after the FIRST 45 MINUTES (that’s how bad I found that mega-flop)!

I’m really surprised nobody has suggested Bruce Campbell as Will Magnus yet. By the time I got to Volume Two of Showcase Presents Metal Men, it was all I could think of–he’d be the perfect arrogant, irritable, yet deep-down lovable foil for the CGI robots. And it’s a role he’s in the right age range to play, now, too.

Based on looks and his sarcastic wit, he woulda made a good Savage Dragon.

He’s almost completely devoid of a sense of humour.

True, he’s more of a straight man in that regard, but he does have some wonderful dry moments every now and again…

That’s why I like the idea of Bruce Campbell playing him. He’s played lots of characters that have to adapt to absurd situations…

Though then again “Gaze into the fist of Dredd” and “Foul smelling bearded woman” and a few other one-liners suggest maybe he has a bit more humour than I gave him credit for

Absolutely full of humour.

Black humour and satire, admittedly, but definite chock-full of humour…

The strip, yeah – but not the character himself. He’s almost completely devoid of a sense of humour.

Commenting on suggestions above–
The Tick could work–if they get it right this time.

Wonder Man could be cool.

Bruce Campbell as Hitman? Have you been inside my dreams?

CGI him into Johnny Thunders Thunderbolt!

To me it’s not his chin but his wisecracking personality. With that in mind I could see him with a CGI-ed body doing Metamorpho. And not Hal Jordan, but Guy Gardner.

On the Marvel side, imagine him as Batroc the Leaper doing a cheesy French accent…

The only one out of the 5 that I think Bruce could still pull off is Mysterio. Hook the man up with the fishbowl already, Raimi!

How can Wonder Man not make the list when he’s practically the Marvel version of Bruce Campbell? He’s a B-list actor and the Enchantress was swooning over his chin in his very first appearance.

Humour? Judge Dredd?

Absolutely full of humour.

All excellent suggestions, gang. Bruce Campbell: the world’s most versatile hypothetical comic book actor!

What, no love for Simon Williams? Campbell’s physique and personality would be perfect for Wonder Man.
