6 WWE Heels Who Could Play Marvel Villains In Movies

5. Cesaro As Batroc The Leaper

Batroc Cesaro Okay, this one's a bit of a cheat. Though the movie hasn't come out yet, Batroc the Leaper will be in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and will be played by UFC legend Georges St-Pierre (that should be amazing in and of itself). Still, as athletic and French as GSP is, wouldn't the scenery-chewing, mercenary master of savate benefit from being played by someone a little more... over the top? Enter Cesaro. Though he plays a relatively serious character, Cesaro's charisma shines through €“ not only in his brilliant ring performances, but in his facial expressions and body language. He speaks French fluently (as he's keen on reminding us), allowing him to adopt the language (or a ridiculous accent) for a performance as Batroc. And for those who haven't seen Cesaro in Ring of Honor, where he went by his real name, Claudio Castagnoli, and played a flamboyant heel as part of the amazing tag team The Kings of Wrestling, he's got range. Just imagine him delivering his then-trademark "Ha-hah!" as he kicks Chris Evans in the face.
