12 Perfect 2020 Castings We Can't Wait To See

3. Gary Oldman - Mank

For some, simply putting the names Gary Oldman and David Fincher standing alone as this entry would be enough to justify it; such is the reverence that these two masters of their crafts are held in.

Admittedly this entry also serves as a bit of a cheat as there is yet to be a role in which Oldman did not turn out to be the perfect casting for, still I'd be remiss not to discuss the justifiable excitement surrounding this team up.

With a tentative 2020 release date; Mank follows the story of screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz and his battles with Orson Welles over the script for Citizen Kane. Fincher has precedent with low-key subject matter like this and turning it to gold (Social Network was a bit good to be fair) and with inarguably one of the greatest actors of a generation in the titular role there is little doubting he has all the tools at hand to pull off this trick again.
