DCEU: 10 Actors Who Should Play Nightwing

8. Kit Harington

Kit Harington has been up at the top of fan-casting wishlists for Nightwing for some time now, buoyed by his performances as Jon Snow on Game Of Thrones. That role will have prepared him for a comic book movie call-up, given Snow's arc from reluctant hero to god-like leader, and there are echoes of his moral integrity in Nightwing's own make-up.

Maybe his accent would be an issue, but being British hasn't exactly stood in the way of Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale, Henry Cavill, or Andrew Garfield playing Americanised comic book heroes...

In truth, he probably needs a big movie win to boost his profile away from the show: so far he hasn't done anything particularly remarkable (though 7 Days In Hell was very funny), and the opportunity to work under Chris McKay and within the fan-baiting DCEU would almost certainly appeal.

He's likely to be free of all Westeros-related work in the near future soon too, which would be a bonus.
