Zack Snyder Wanted Tom Cruise To Play Ozymandias In WATCHMEN

[p0uritup]

"I wanted Tom Cruise for Ozymandias. Tom wanted to play Rorschach," said Zack Snyder on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, talking about 2009's Watchmen adaptation "I certainly would have considered Tom in retrospect if I hadn't had Jackie [Earle Haley]." https://t.co/vevVlzsMo5 pic.twitter.com/MN44Q52vMP

I love Jackie in that role but my god Cruise's Rorschach would have been crazy as hell.

You mean in a terrible way, right?

idk people were dead set against him being Lestat but he pulled it off.

Oh god, Tom as Ozy would have been incredible. He might have carried the movie into excellence tbh and I don’t even like the guy

Like, I would have kind of loved that casting? lol

lol at Matthew Goode continuing to catch strays about this role 15 years later.

The whole thing was just kind of a mess. I don’t think any individual casting choice would’ve changed that.

Nah, I liked it the way it is!
