10 Actors Who Could Play Scarecrow In Matt Reeves’ The Batman

8. Caleb Landry Jones

Scarecrow Jigsaw
Universal

This young actor first made it big thanks to his heroic turn as Banshee in X-Men: First Class, which makes it thoroughly ironic that to a current audience member, he seems far more at home on the opposite end of the spectrum, playing a creepy villain as opposed to a colourful superhero.

However, this reputation came about after he proved to the world how dark and twisted he could be in movies like Get Out and To the Night.

Landry Jones has actually been a popular fan-choice for The Joker, which makes sense, as his creepy mannerisms and unsettling energy would be a good fit. However, his very still and relaxed face, plus his more reserved energy, would make him far more appropriate for Scarecrow.

He would completely capture Dr Jonathan Crane's sinister undertones in his regular life and the high-energy levels of the Scarecrow when donning the full costume. He has a great voice that could still burst out of the mask with viciousness and is ultimately a thoroughly scary actor. What more could you ask for?
