The Film: Aquaman

There's a fairly compelling argument that says that Patrick Wilson is one of the most underappreciated actors currently working in Hollywood. He seems to wrack up great performances in entertaining (and often lucrative) movies, but he's never really considered in the acting elite.

Hopefully, his profile will receive the shot in the arm he didn't get off the back of Watchmen (or Ant-Man, which he was initially planned to be part of) with another comic book movie performance, and the opportunity to really show his range as Orm opposite Aquaman.

The film might have lots of villains to balance, but Wilson's should take top billing, and we should hopefully see some of the Loki theatricality Tom Hiddleston brought to Thor. Wilson is certainly capable of it, and seeing him encouraged to be more theatrical is a hugely intriguing prospect.
