Mike Myers as both Wayne and Austin Powers. He has a way of doing corny characters with soul, and that’s quite rare.
Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams in the ‘Evil Dead’ movies.
I fucking dare you to try to remake that with another actor.
Gene Wilder as Willie Wonka.
Henry Cavill as Superman for me. Alan Ritchson as Reacher.
But
Matthew Mcconaughey as Rust in True Detective S1. I’m desperately longing for a show that can live up to S1 with a character similar or better than Rust
Every character in that season was perfect. Even the very minor roles played by unknowns were all knocked right out of the park. The stars really aligned for that first season, and I am very much okay with that being a rare thing.
Some great runner-ups mentioned here. Of course the answer is Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who also had one of the best character entrances ever.
Robert Englund as Freddie Kruger.
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal the Cannibal
I thought the same,then i watched Mads Mikkelson in the tv series Hannibal and think he played the role even better.
David Spade as Joe Dirt
Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler in The Downfall
The fact that Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn isn’t on this list makes me sad.
Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.
I think Heath Ledger is the best possible version of that type of joker. I think Mark Hamill was amazing too though.
RDJ just is iron man though. Similar life paths and everything.
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. With the sole exception of his height, (comic book Wolverine is very short, and Jackman is not) it’s like the character walked out of the comics and onto the movie screen.
The like, 2 seconds in Deadpool where they had Cavill as wolverine made me wonder if he could legitimately do it
Hard disagree. Hugh is too tall and too pretty. He’s done a fine job with the character but I am extremely excited for a new short-king wolverine. It’s time to move on.
Robin Williams as the Genie.
