3) Garrett Hedlund
Garrett Hedlund may be less well-known than some of the other actors mentioned in this article, but it feels like the young performer has been on the brink of stardom for ages now, and he’s still only 29 years old. Many thought his starring role in TRON: Legacy would be the turning point for Hedlund, but the A-list still eluded him even after the film’s release. A role like Aquaman would be exactly what Hedlund needs to hit the big time.
As one of the youngest actors on this list, Hedlund would be perfect for the role of Aquaman if the studio decide to use the latest version of the character from ‘The New 52’ reboot. This would make sense, too, as the King of Atlantis is currently enjoying newfound popularity in the comics under the watch of DC chief creative officer Geoff Johns.
Also, did we mention that Hedlund is ridiculously handsome and fits the look of Aquaman perfectly? As DC’s competitors would say, “Nuff said.”
Why he deserves to play Aquaman more than Jason Momoa: Hedlund has a youthful energy that could capture the spirit of the current comics.
