As it turns out, Harbour almost had a fourth comic book credit on his resume, as he auditioned years ago to play Blob in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and the reason he didn’t score that role was because he was considered to be too fat.
David Harbour is best known for playing Chief Jim Hopper in the Netflix series Stranger Things, but he’s also left a decent mark on the comic book movie genre in less than a decade.
I assure you, this is not a joke.
He played D.A. Frank Scanlon in 2016’s The Green Hornet, he made a minor appearance in 2016’s Suicide Squad as Dexter Tolliver and he’s been cast as the new Hellboy for the upcoming reboot, Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen.
