Finding an Actor for Hawkman in the DCU

15 Actors Perfect for the Role of Hawkman in the DCU 

As the DCU really gets rolling, movie fans are speculating who will join the DCU next and Hawkman is one of the characters that many fans want to see in the new universe. We just had Aldis Hodge as the first ever movie version of Hawkman in Black Adam in 2022, but who will be the next? 

For years, my personal choice for Hawkman has been Alexander Skarsgard, and I still think he would be a great Hawkman. Check out Tarzan or The Northman and you'll get a good idea of how perfect he would be for the role. 

I just came across an article that lists 15 actors who would be good for Hawkman and some of them are pretty good choices. I still stand by Alexander Skarsgard but Luke Evans has me wondering how awesome he would be in the role. 

What do you guys think? Do you have a choice for an actor who would be great as Hawkman? Seeing how James Gunn has casted so far, it will probably be someone that surprises us all when it happens.

Finding Hawkman and Hawkgirl After Each DC Crisis Event

   This year marks the 40th anniversary of the famous, or infamous depending on your point of view, Crisis on Infinite Earths (COIE). Since then, there have been several crisis events to restructure the DC Universe. While it may be all and good for DC Holy Trinity of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, the "lesser" heroes of the DC Universe have often forgotten and made even more complicated than before. 

  

Hawkman Coming to the DC Absolute Universe in October

 

Absolute Evil was announced a few weeks ago and alert Hawkfans immediately noticed Hawkman on the cover. The villains are having a "go team!" moment, and under thier hands are pictures of heroes that they are going after or have already defeated. Hawkman's picture is there on the bottom left. It's also interesting that his picture is the only one that is not ripped. So what can this mean? He may not be defeated yet. He may be but they didn't bother ripping his picture. He may not even be in the issue at all. Which has happened many, many, many times. 

But then we got some confirmation (thank to Matt B. Lloyd for the heads up!) that Hawkman WILL actually be in the issue. Here is a quote from the PopVerse article. 

DC K.O: Hawkman's Opponent Revealed

   Last month, DC announced a new event called DC K.O, a tournament-style competition where heroes go up against each other to determine who will go up against Darkseid. Or something like that. The 32 heroes in the draw were announced and Hawkman (no Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman) was announced. Personally, I'm kind of burnt out on heroes against heroes and big crossovers but since Hawkman is involved, let's follow it and see what happens. The full draw was released and we found out who Hawkman's 1st round opponent is.
