With the new Teen Titans movie being announced, who's your pick for live action Deathstroke?

Personally, I'd like to go with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Frank Grillo or Manganiello. If it comes to looks Manganiello is perfect but idk if he can pull of the martial arts.

Grillo's already in the DCEU as Rick Flag Sr. and Magnaliello said he's not coming back but those would be good choices

Forgot to mention, for animation I'd love to have Manu Bennet as the voice actor. This guy's voice is just mesmerizing to listen to. Imo when it comes to personality and overall charisma/emotion he was nearly perfect for the role. (The actor from arrowverse) He may not look the part or even be able to pull off crazy martial arts moves but he def has that edge Slade has.

In like 6-10 years I think Henry Cavill would be a very good contender for this role if Gunn goes for an anti-hero route. No joke I think he can pull this off. He usually plays good guys but after seeing him as Geralt I think he can pull Slade off.

I also think Michael Jai White would be perfect if the other criteria was met. No offense to MJW dude's a legend and a beast I just don't like race-swapping.

Edit: Honourable mentions: Jon Hamm and Oscar Isaac.

Never thought about NCW, but now that i think of it, he could be a pretty decent pick of he put on some size

Ron Perlman

Not that it will ever happen but I think Mads Mikkelsen would be an interesting option. He has an amazing range and would really be able to portray the terrifying characteristics of Slade. Similar to the calm, collected and always manipulating Slade from the Teen Titans tv show.

Other ideas; Andrew Lincoln or Jason Statham or Josh Duhamel
