Hayden Christensen would be a great fit for a Knives Out movie.

Submitted by dharmashark48 t3_z4qut7 in movies

He hasn't had that many roles in recent years, and I really wish his career had taken off more since the Star Wars prequels. He's a way better actor than people give him credit for.

I don't know why, but I feel like he'd fit right at home in a Knives Out movie. I can see him doing really well as part of a comedy ensemble, like Chris Evans in the first movie.

Thoughts?

As long as it didn’t take place on a beach he would probably be fine.

Not a fan, his acting is mediocre at best.

I've always thought that's more to the film/writing, specifically.

Hayden quit acting and only recently came back to Star Wars and knocked it out of the park and he's already in talks with Marvel. So he is actually a very hot product at the moment. Same thing happened to Tobey Maguire he got blamed for bad writing and came back and is getting more offers aswell

I think Hayden got out of acting shortly after star wars. I barely even does convention appearances for star wars.

If this was r/starwars, your comment would be at like -300. The mental gymnastics they go through over Hayden is bonkers.

I have to disagree. Love the person, but as an actor it’s still surprising he was given a shot back then.

He was amazing in everything outside Star Wars Prequels and amazing in Kenobi series with a competent director

He’s a terrible actor. You get more emotional response out of a crash test dummy.

I would love to see him Zoe Kravitz and Andrew Garfield that would be a great cast

He was absolutely phenomenal in Shattered Glass. If you saw the real Stephen Glass, Hayden got his awkward charm really well. And also Hayden's voice is deeper than the Dwayne Johnson's in recent years
