SMALLS' BUG JUICE: TOM HANKS WANTS TO PLAY A SUPER-VILLAIN...OR MAYBE THE FLASH

I haven't done a Bug Juice in a very long time, and it actually feels kind of good to dip my toe back into movie news for a change. Here goes:

Ok Hollywood, you officially have your next project.

Apparently, Tom Hanks, the man who is pure win and a god-damned national treasure, says he really wants to play a super-villain....or maybe even The Flash. When answering a fan's question about why he had never been in a super-hero movie, the man-of-win had this to say: "They don't ask me man. I keep trying....Come on, I can do it. I can do it. Even let me play a bad guy, let me play the bad guy against Batman. I'll do anything, call me. They've never asked. What do I gotta do? God, I want to throw a shield at somebody. I want that. And I don't want to play the guy in the suit who tells the superheroes what's going on, I don't want to be that guy. 'Well, you know Batman, Captain America, Iron Man, here's what we've discovered,' I don't want to be that guy. I want to get in there, I want to play the Flash or something like that. They'll never give me the chance."

Now that he mentions it, I could actually see Tom Hanks playing Lex Luthor. I think he could pull it off. I'm going to throw my chips in and say give the guy a chance. He's already more than proven his worth as an actor, why not give him the chance to play a role he's always wanted. Sure, it may be going out on a limb a bit, but I believe in Hanks. I believe he can do it. Besides, does anyone here really want to crush Tom Hank's dreams? Didn't think so. 

So, Batman Vs. Superman starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Tom Hanks as Lex Luthor. It's gonna happen.

Till next time I'm Beetlejuice and you've just been bugged

Sidenote: I could also see him possibly being a good Ant-Man, or maybe a good villain for Ant-Man. Heck, I'd be happy if he popped up in Spidey 3! Bottom Line: MAKE IT HAPPEN HOLLYWOOD!
