And finally, we have another tough-to-cast role, if only because the late, great Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart is such a uniquely intense personality with a distinctly stocky physique.

Michael Shannon's penchant for fiery performances that explode out of nowhere ensure he'd be able to effortlessly embody the spirit of the man.

He admittedly might be a tad too famous for such a small role and some liberties may have to be taken when it comes to Neidhart's bulky frame, but in the very least Shannon could get muscular with enough prep time.

And if we're being totally honest, we really just want to see Michael Shannon screaming maniacally with a ginger goatee. Make it happen, Hollywood.

What do you make of these casting picks? Got any of your own? Shout them out in the comments!
