Casting Ava DuVernay's New Gods
7. Darkseid - Andre Baugher
When it comes to bringing characters like Darkseid to the big screen, their are only two things that really matter: the talent of the visual effects department and the voice acting talent of the actor playing the character.
Because of this, DC should really stick with the person who has portrayed the character in their animated ventures, that person being Andre Baugher.
As these animated performances showed, Baugher's voice is a fantastic fit for the villain - it being as deep, booming and menacing as you would expect from a character such as Darkseid - so what would be the point in wasting all of that?
And, if Tom King does decide to bring the oddly comedic moments featuring Darkseid seen in his Mister Miracle series to the movie, then the dry humour that Baugher brought to Brooklyn 99 in the form of Captain Holt would be another fantastic reason for the actor to be cast in the role again.
