5. Brad Pitt

Another Hollywood A-Lister who’ll automatically garner support from fans. You don’t need us to tell why he makes sense but we will anyway. Aside from is immense talent and range as an actor, Pitt looks like he’s ripped straight from the comics. We thought we’d never get to see Brad Pitt suite up as a superhero but we did, kinda. Pitt had a cameo in Deadpool 2, as Vanisher, chances are you probably missed if you blinked. 

Now that Warner Bros plans on giving Hal Jordan the royal treatment, Pitt makes so much sense. Pitt hasn’t slowed down one bit, he’s had roles in World War Z, 12 Years a Slave, Fury, and Allied, to name a few. And, he has an upcoming role in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as Cliff Booth.  Hal Jordan is the ideal superhero for Brad Pitt and a smart get for the DCEU. 

4. Matt Damon

Don’t act like you’re surprised. The connection between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck was part of the reason he landed on our list. But who are kidding, when we think of action stars Damon name comes up. His role as Jason Bourne is legendary, he spawned a franchise and he could follow in his friend’s footsteps and join the DCEU. It’s not like he’s totally against playing a superhero. After all, he did audition for the role of Robin in Tim Burton’s Batman film. That counts, doesn’t it? Nevertheless, this about his fit for the DCEU and he fits the role like a glove.
