10 Unused Villains For DC Movies (And Who Should Play Them)
4. Nekron (Idris Elba)
If Warner Bros really wants to launch a Green Lantern franchise, theyll need more than one not-yet-seen-on-the-big-screen villain in order to pull it off. As well as the aforementioned antihero Atrocitus, the powers that be could possibly introduce Nekron. As the DC Comics universes embodiment of Death, few comic book villains are scarier than Nekron. Despite first appearing in 1981, Nekrons finest villainous hour came in the Blackest Night storyline in 2009-2010, which saw him attempting to destroy all existence. (Atrocitus and his gang played a core role in this arc, too.) The question of casting is a difficult one, though. The modern Nekron is skeletal facially, but has a broad frame beneath the neck. To create this, youd probably need a full CGI character. So, we're looking for an actor who could offer an intimidating voice and enough facial dexterity to provide a decent performance capture reference. Our choice would be Idris Elba, whose deep vocal tones could be truly frightening if the CGI was strong. Hes shown a wide range of emotions in Luther and other projects, so hed be able to make this evil entity engaging, too. Hes already been cast as the villain in Star Trek Beyond, though, so it may be difficult to get him on board.
