DC Fans Start Petition For Shia LaBeouf to Play Red Hood in The DCEU
It's been rumored in the past that Jason Todd, a.k.a. Robin, a.k.a. The Red Hood, could be included in the upcoming Batman solo film, but there's been no confirmation of that. Todd did exist in the DCEU because the Joker killed him, but there's no guarantee that he will show up as the Red Hood in the Batman solo film or any other film in the DCEU. Is it possible? Yeah, of course it is!
In case Jason Todd/Red Hood does eventually make his big screen debut, there's a group of DC fans who have started a petition to get Warner Bros. to consider casting Shia LaBeouf in the role. The online petition was launched at Change.org, and it's slowly gaining traction.
We all know a petition like this won't influence the studio's decision on who they will cast, but it certainly will get the fans talking about who they would like to see in the role. Here is a list of reasons posted with the petition that explains why they think LaBeouf would be the best choice for the part:
Shia Labeouf is willing to go the distance to be the best that his character can be in recent films
It's an opportunity for him to show the world what an amazing actor he can truly be if you Just give him a chance to be this character
Help him get from one of the most looked down upon actors in Hollywood to one of the most beloved actors in Hollywood because of this role
Ben Affleck was hated by so many people because he was cast as Batman and now he is loved by many after they say what an amazing performance Ben Affleck could do as Batman
Shia Labeouf is truly one of the most talented actors in Hollywood if you have seen his recent films
If you know the character Jason Todd aka Red Hood and if you know Shia Labeouf then you can see how similar they are and how perfect this casting choice is for Shia Labeouf
I think LaBeouf would be great! He was originally supposed to appear in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, but apparently the studio thought he was too crazy. I doubt the studio has changed their mind about the actor.
What do you think about LaBeouf in the role of the Red Hood? Do you think he is a solid choice? If not, who would you like to see take on the role?
