If Patrick Wilson has his way, he’ll get a chance to play Nite Owl again for HBO’s upcoming Watchmen TV show.
Wilson, who played Batman analog Nite Owl in the film adaptation, had nothing but praise for his time on the project—and would love to tackle the role again.
Given that the ’80s-set story focuses on a group of former heroes decades after their heyday, Wilson had to be considerably aged up for his role as Nite Owl.
While Zack Snyder’s take on Watchmen had its fans, the director’s divisive work behind the camera left him with plenty of detractors.
