There's a reason why Sam Rockwell features so heavily on many people's casting wish-lists; he's a brilliant and versatile actor that is damn good at his job. Besides, its about time he got another crack at a comic book movie after being virtually the only thing to escape unscathed from Iron Man 2.

If the 48 year-old threw himself into the role of Cletus Kasady with as much dedication as counterpart Tom Hardy approaches every one of his roles, then even the prospect of a one-on-one dialogue scene between them becomes a hugely appealing one.

While Rockwell tends to his best work outside of big-budget blockbusters, the promise of a smaller, more contained and R-rated genre movie is an easier sell. Its unlikely he'd ever do it, but Sam Rockwell playing Cletus Kasady sure sounds like a good idea on paper.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
