Back in my comic reading days, “Jonah Hex” was always one of my favorite titles. I probably only came across the comic once every blue moon, but I did enjoy it for some reason. I was also a big fan of Clint Eastwood movies and westerns in general. Maybe that’s why. I dunno. I always thought Hex was a bad-ass. Maybe that’s it.
The good news is that it looks like they are finally going to make a movie out of the comic. The bad news is that Hex will apparently be played by Thomas Jane, he of “Punisher” fame. I didn’t mind Jane as The Punisher but…I don’t see him as Hex. Too pretty, I think. Also, the Punisher movie pretty much sucked.
Whenever new hero movies come out, I’m always tempted to cast the movie in my head. Two people I see as better Hex material: Viggo Mortensen and Sean Bean. They are a little more ruggedly unkempt than Jane and both have the acting chops to do the job.
Any comic book fans out there care to debate?
