The only thing we’ve seen of the new movie so far is the promotional image above which shows Tom Hanks dressed as Fred Rogers.
And really, who else was going to play Fred Rogers in a movie?
While I wouldn’t call him the spitting image of Rogers by any means, he certainly resembles the man enough for the purposes of the film.
By all accounts, Tom Hanks is actually as nice a person as he appears to be in his films, making him the perfect person to play the man who, based on what we learned in the Won’t You Be My Neighbor? documentary, actually was the person he appeared to be on television.
