20 Upcoming Horror Movies That Made PERFECT Casting Choices
17. Neil Patrick Harris - The Last Temptation Of Becky
The Becky franchise has banked on quite a brilliant gimmick for each of its antagonists: cast a successful comedy actor who rarely plays a truly despicable bastard, and then have them play said despicable bastard.
The first Becky saw Kevin James play a vile neo-Nazi; The Wrath of Becky drafted in Seann William Scott to play the leader of an alt-right hate group; and now for threequel, The Last Temptation of Becky, we've got Neil Patrick Harris in the mix.
Harris will play Wilhelm Reuss, an aspiring Nazi who intends to launch the Fourth Reich, all while Becky (Lulu Wilson) rocks up in Poland to stop him and his family of hatemongers.
Granted, the against-type casting is a little less jarring considering that Harris did portray an intensely Nazi-coded character in Starship Troopers, but it'll still be an absolute trip to see him play an irredeemable scumbag who'll surely get his delicious, well-earned comeuppance at Becky's hand.
