"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Honestly I really hope that Rian Johnson is doing the casting first and just casting people he thinks would be cool to direct and only writes the script after he’s got everyone he wants

Forget the script, I want to see them pull off an improv murder mystery.

Yeah he seems to lack whatever it is that made his father a compelling leading man but he's not terrible from what I've seen.

It's height. Clint Eastwood being over 6 foot makes the fact that he's only ever played one character a lot less noticeable.

Showdown in the Galaxy Era.

I actually quite like Wyatt Russell in the handful of things I've seen him in. I don't know if he's awful or entitled in real life, but he has a pretty good presence in movies and can play both a quiet, brooding type or a gregarious goofy one in equal measure. Strangely, I didn't find him to look that much like his dad prior to Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but goddamn did he in that show. Which is maybe a good thing; I'd already developed an opinion on Wyatt Russell without inherently associating him with Kurt.

Meanwhile, I don't know what it is about Scott Eastwood, but I always feel like I'm watching him play dress-up as his dad. They keep casting him in action-y roles where he plays a soldier or a cowboy or something and it should work but somehow...the gravitas just isn't there.

I decided I liked Wyatt Russel when I found out he turned down some extremely lucrative role to be in 22 Jump Street.

I checked and it was one of the Hunger Games sequels. He made the right choice.

There's also Maya Hawke, who was pretty good in her films and whose parents I was initially unaware of until a camera angle in Stranger Things hit her just right and suddenly I saw Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke in a single face and my brain broke in half for a moment.

Its more than that. You watch his classics and Clint had an inscrutable edge to him that made him the center of every screen.

His son disappears into the frame.

I dont know what it is. But Clint's got personality even if it is mostly being an rear end in a top hat

I swear at one point it was going to involve the Immortals having guns for some reason.

I think Scott Eastwood is the lead in some action b movie that recently shot in BC. Mel Gibson is also in it 😬.

I really liked Wyatt Russell in Lodge 49, but I haven’t seen him in anything else.

idk I saw him in The Outpost recently and I thought he was pretty decent even if I was distracted with how much of a clone of his father he is.

It's funny in hindsight that Clint's biggest critics in his heyday absolutely hated him because "he's not an actor, he doesn't do anything, he expends the minimum effort possible in front of the camera!", and now it's universally accepted that's exactly why he was so iconic - he didn't need to. He dominated the screen just by being on it. There aren't many megastars who have that same minimalism and yet absolutely draw the viewer's attention: maybe Cary Grant, John Wayne, Arnold?

There is a rumored Indiana Jones 5 plot leak and guess who Madds Mikkelsen is apparently playing? A Nazi scientist!

To elaborate, his character is working with Nasa under Operation Paper Clip and he wants to get to the moon for some sinister reason. Who wants to bet there's going to be ancient ruins there?

In any of the classic Arnolds that weren’t The Terminator or Terminator 2, he was hamming it up as much as he could. Keanu would more fit in that vein.
