BIG HERO 6 Actor Made a Badass Fight Scene to Convince Ben Affleck to Cast Him as Robin
Big Hero 6 actor Ryan Potter wants to play the Tim Drake version of Robin in Ben Affleck’s upcoming solo Batman film. He wants the part so badly that he made a short action film showing off his martial arts fighting skills. I’ve gotta say… it’s pretty impressive, and if Robin is going to be included in the movie, Potter seems like he would be a fun choice!
After the fight sequence plays out, Potter looks at the camera and asks Affleck to consider him for the role of Robin. He says:
“Hey Ben, like Tim said, Batman needs a Robin.”
In a previous interview with 411Mania, Potter talked about his desire to play Robin:
“That would be super cool to be able to play that. To see a different version- see an Asian-American Robin. Why not?. Or maybe in a couple of years see a Nighthawk. But I don’t know. There really aren’t a lot of real Asian superheroes.”
I think it’d be cool for Potter to take on the role of Robin. Watch the video for yourself and let us know what you think!
