Star Wars Spin-Offs: 10 Actors Who Could Play Boba Fett

7. Michael Shannon

Some people may only know Michael Shannon as Man Of Steel's General Zod. If so, they€™re missing out on a wonderful actor. He€™s previously put in fantastically unsettling performances in Take Shelter, The Iceman, and Bug. His looks have been compared to Jaws in the past, and Shannon shares a lot of his menace; he pulls off threatening and dangerous seemingly without effort. He comes across as a man you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley Shannon would perhaps struggle to give a human face to Boba Fett. He€™s an excellent actor but best excels when he€™s showing the dark side of humanity. But that would make for a fascinating interpretation; a character who€™s utterly wild, dangerous, and possibly unhinged. It feels like Shannon€™s waiting for a role like that to catapult him into the spotlight, and this could just prove to be the one.
