10 Actors Who Could Play Two-Face In Matt Reeves' The Batman

6. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Two-Face Batman
Nordisk Films

If you want an actor who can convincingly play a person with two sides, one dangerous/sociopathic and the other thoughtful and brave, then who better than Jaime Lannister himself.

This Game of Thrones character was a master at wearing masks which made his true identity and allegiance a mystery, and he was filled to the brim with conflict. Seeing Nikolaj Coster-Waldau get the chance to do this again, but at the surface of his character rather than deep within, would be exhilarating.

In addition to his pre-existing talent for performing duality, Coster-Waldau is a dynamic performer who always brings nuance to his roles. Playing Harvey Dent could be a great chance to expand on this and branch out into something a little more over-the-top than what the Danish actor's used to. There's no doubt that seeing the typically restrained performer explode in fits of rage and villainy would be compelling.

He's got that typical leading man look but an edge that makes him seem slightly darker. This is the perfect way to approach the character, as he would seem trustworthy as Harvey Dent and then could turn into an absolute monster after he transition into Two-Face.
