Whenever we learn that a new popular comic book hero is going to appear in a movie fans immediately begin to consider who would be the best actor to play the part.
I’m not sure you actually work in Hollywood if you haven’t at least been considered for a role in a major comic book movie.
This was the process that led to discovering which DC character John Boyega would like to play, as fans began to suggest other characters they thought he should play.
