6 Actors Who Could Play The Rogues In ‘The Flash’

The Trickster: Jim Carrey

Nate Brail: Jim Carrey would be the perfect choice for the sometimes silly yet seriously deadly, Trickster. He’s already played the Riddler in Batman Forever, so he’s in the DC Family. Carrey has expressed interest in starring in a superhero film again. He most recently starred in Kick Ass 2.

Andy Behbakht: Like with TV’s Captain Cold, it is tricky (pun 100% intended) to imagine anyone, but Mark Hamill as The Trickster as he is the one who has played the character in two TV versions and in animation. So, if we are going to be able to have someone that can match that, but in a film, you need a legend, like Jim Carrey. While there are so many roles to choose from, I look at his portrayal of The Mask and The Riddler (the only good aspect of Batman Forever) as perfect references for why he would be excellent as The Trickster. James Jesse is a character that needs to be funny, but also unexpectedly dangerous: you can never see what is coming next when dealing with him. Even though The Mask was the protagonist, I will admit that I was always terrified and prepared that at any second, he would turn to the evil side and thankfully, he didn’t. I would probably never have been able to fall asleep as a child if that had happened.
