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

If there is one thing that the casting for The Batman has proved thus far, it's that Reeves seems to be very fond of bringing in well-known actors. Colin Farrell as penguin proves this, and although the lesser-known - but perfectly cast - Paul Dano may be taking on The Riddler, it was well-documented that Jonah Hill was in talks to join the cast. Therefore, if this celebrity road was something they wanted to continue down, then Adam Driver would be a sublime pick.

This actor has garnered plenty of critical acclaim and popularity thanks to his performance as Kylo Ren in the new Star Wars trilogy. But, he has also displayed his acting chops in a tonne of fantastic films such as BlackKklansmen and Marriage Story, both of which granted him Oscar-Nominations.

It's easy to imagine him in the role, as his massive stature would make him thoroughly intimidating, and his signature booming/deep voice would be a sublime fit for the character. There is already plenty of proof that he wouldn't be held back by playing a masked character, as Kylo Ren was at his best when his face was covered.
