The X-Men: Days Of Future Past star has enjoyed something of an inconsistent career so far, matching high-profile stinkers like Battle: Los Angeles and All Superheroes Must Die (released ironically immediately after he appeared in the first X-Men reboot) with the brilliance of X-Men: First Class, and less heralded roles in the likes of the hugely creepy Stoker and Dark Hearts, but he has proved himself to be a dependable young talent. Many of his more notable performances have been marked by the kind of emotional intensity that made him a good candidate for the screen version of Havok, and there is something very appealing in the idea of a pre-Joker character who is far more petulant and less in touch with his control mechanisms than he would become when he's more obviously the monster. Burton's version of the Joker was a caricature of the existing character - his injuries, both physical and mental merely amplified things that already existed in him - and Till as a young, sadistic enforcer would fit with that image.
