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

Now, this would be a shocking yet compelling direction to go in.

Seeing gender-reversed villains is always exciting, as most comic-book antagonists are often dead set in their ways, and making such a small change can revitalise them. This worked incredibly well for Doctor Octavius in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, so why not go for it here as well?

Connelly is a fantastic actor, as she has a stunning command of emotion and is very good at adding depth to her characters. While she's typically very 'in control', we've seen her lose that grip on sanity in projects like Requiem for a Dream, where her character ended up falling into fits of chaos as the film progressed.

Therefore, she'd certainly do an excellent job of switching between the dark and even darker sides of Two-Face.

Additionally, Connelly looks perfect for the part, as her jet-black hair and high-status energy make her seem charming yet villainous at the same time. There's an almost gothic look to the Labyrinth fave that could work wonders for the Dent role, and she'd no doubt garner a tonne of attention if she were cast in it.
