10 Upcoming Horror Movies That Made PERFECT Casting Choices

Him is one of the most intriguing-looking upcoming horror movies - a sports-centric genre offering in which rising American football player Cameron Cade (Tyriq Withers) is invited to train at the secluded compound of an ageing legendary quarterback, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans).

Of course, things quickly go south, and while Wayans, who is unmistakably best known for his comedy roles such as Shorty in Scary Movie, might seem like an odd casting choice for an intense villain, it's actually totally genius.

For one, Wayans has peppered the occasional dramatic role into his primarily comedy-focused career, and his sublime performance in Requiem for a Dream is really all the proof you need of his ability to dive down a dark rabbit hole.

Everything we've seen from the trailers for Him so far suggests that Wayans is giving himself over completely to the role, using his boundless energy to create a uniquely discomforting antagonist.
