Hugo Weaving for Runge?


Does anyone else think Hugo Weaving would make the perfect Runge for the live-action version?

Fantastic suggestion - he has the same sharp facial features and he is an incredible actor. I think he could pull it off assuming he is not too short or skinny. Lunge seems tall and broad to me.

Here are some of my suggestions that I think are spot on:

Tenma - Hiroyuki Sanada

This guy is a great actor that has Tenma's low-key yet dramatic persona down pat.

Roberto - Peter Stormare

This guy can do anything - he already has the look and accent. This guy has the chops to take Roberto's character to another level.

I would have liked to see Michael Shannon myself. He basically plays the same dude in Boardwalk Empire.
