3 Actors Who Could Pull Off Deathstroke in the DC Cinematic Universe
DC's Deathstroke is a rigid, steel willed man, and the actor who plays him must mimic those qualities.
Deathstroke has become more popular in recent years after fighting the Teen Titans, becoming a main villain in Batman: Arkham Origins, and joining Arrow, as an ally in the first season, then a villain in the second.
Deathstroke is a rigid, steel willed man. His right eye is covered, either with his mask or an eyepatch. A ruthless mercenary, he acts as major villain for the Teen Titans, Batman, and recently Green Arrow. So, let's get on with it. Note these aren't in any specific order.
Stephen Lang
Best known for his roles in Gods and Generals and Avatar, Stephen Lang would be an excellent choice. He's pulled off the tough villain before, and I can totally see him rocking an eyepatch. Just looking at him you know he can make Batman quiver. If not Deathstroke, I think he should paly Cable for Fox. Both are similar physically, and he could pull off either. Let's hope he's Deathstroke though!
Ron Perlman
Ron Perlman was the voice of Deathstroke in Teen Titans, so I guess he has an edge on other contenders. He definitely looks the part, plus he has popularity from Sons of Anarchy. Definitely more well known than Stephen Lang.
Manu Bennett
Manu Bennett is definitely one of the reasons Deathstroke is important today. He starred in Seasons 1 and 2 of Arrow, and is returning for an unknown episode count in Season 3. I don't really see Deathstroke appearing in the DCCU until after 2020 (except for potential cameos in the Batman solo movie or Suicide Squad, but I feel like we would've heard of these by now). And by that point, or at least after Green Lantern in 2020, we'll hopefully have Crisis on Infinite Earths, where we could see the DC TV Universe mix with the Cinematic one.

X-Men Apocalypse: Oscar Isaac Talks About the Costume and Powers of En Sabah Nur!
Speaking with Yahoo today, Oscar Isaac spoke about bringing the evil mutant to life: It’ll be a mix [of practical and digital]. I haven’t had a script so I haven’t had a chance to look through the script and see what the exact requirements are, but I think it’ll be a mixture of physical, aided with some robotic technology.

The Pearl by John Steinbeck
‘The Pearl’ is a well-known by under-read classic and, as a teacher, many of my students have absolutely loved it. Not just because it is short, but because it presents a storyline that is interesting and corrupting. Easy to read and easier to analyse, ‘The Pearl’ is one of Steinbeck’s hardest hitting classics with an underlying message about protecting what is actually important. By the end of the book, the reader is left defeated and believing in the wrong thing. The idealism around this book is incredible and it is so dark too. For a long while you are supporting the wrong people, thinking in the wrong way and the whole story becomes one long act of misdirection by Steinbeck to show in a ‘Monkey’s Paw’ fashion why we should never chase wealth and status.
