Who will be the next performer to step into the role of Swamp Thing on the big screen? We think that these five actors should get their chance to play the hero.
Over five decades ago, comic book creators Len Wein and artist Bernie Wrightson unleashed Swamp Thing, one of the most iconic horror characters in the DC universe. The comic introduced a scientist named Alec Holland who had created a Bio-Restorative formula that was meant to help end world hunger. Unfortunately, Alec was attacked by saboteurs who murdered his wife Linda and left him for dead after rigging his lab to explode.
Related Doug Jones When it comes to actors who can perform in heavy prosthetic makeup, Doug Jones is in a class of his own. Jones has made a career out of playing fantastical creatures like Abe Sapien in two live-action Hellboy movies, the Faun and the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth, Saru in Star Trek: Discovery, and perhaps most famously, the Amphibian Man in the Oscar-winning film, The Shape of Water.
More recently, Serkis reminded viewers that he’s a great actor even without CGI trickery when he appeared as Kino Loy in three episodes of Andor. Serkis was given great material to play, and he delivered one of the best monologues in the history of Star Wars during a thrilling escape from an Imperial prison. He may not have the physicality of Jones to portray Swamp Thing in person, but there’s no question that he can deliver an A-list performance.
Michael Fassbender This is the dark horse pick on the list because Michael Fassbender is one of the best actors of his generation and it’s highly unlikely he’d get involved in another superhero franchise after starring in four X-Men movies. But he was great as Magneto, and his performance helped humanize one of the most complex figures in the mythos of the X-Men. That’s the kind of powerhouse performance that Swamp Thing needs from its lead character to get audiences behind him.
