10 Actors Who Could Play Scarecrow In Matt Reeves’ The Batman
6. Jimmi Simpson
Jimmi Simpson is a rather underrated actor who's had a really good time in the last few years and could make an excellent name for himself if he landed a significant role like this. His performances in shows like House of Cards, Westworld and Black Mirror have displayed what he is capable of, and this sinister villain would be another great chance to show off his talents.
He has an energy that makes him instantly trustworthy, but we've seen a darker side to him that could make his version of Crane a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's easy to see how he could lure people into a false sense of security, and then strike at them when they are comfortable, making his version of the character visceral and psychological. This would be an exciting and scary direction.
The actor has done a great job of turning his career towards more serious roles, as he was mostly known for being a comedy performer - even appearing in Always Sunny just like David Hornsby - but has gone on to show how versatile his look and acting is.
If he were to score a big job like this, then he could fully become the haunting villain that he has the potential to be.
