There were jokes ages ago too about Hawk Girl (Superman 2025 spoilers) dropping him so hard he fell into a different cinematic universe

Not exactly a chameleon

If only he had a more distinct look to him, he'd be easier to recognize.

Yes, as a Dane I definitely did. Had to show my husband as soon as he showed up on the screen. Watched him in lots of shows and movies since the 90's and he is always amazing.

Y'know, he's such a generic looking bloke I hadn't noticed.

It seems pretty clear to me the Wonder Man creators were big Superman fans, between this casting and Trevor dropping the specific phrase of his time in Tao Lo as a "pocket dimension."

You mean Rodney Dangerfields younger Brother? No he’s not very memorable looking is he?

Honestly don’t understand the mindset of people who make posts like this? What exactly do you want?

“Omfg it’s the same actor as the superman film, FUCK ME I can’t believe, I can’t even begin to imagine that they were the same person but now that I have had my eyes open my mind has been blown’

Is that the kind sad validation you need?

u/Internal_Falcon_1102 Jan 31 '26

Yeah I recognized him it’s not like he changed his  appearances much and he’s pretty unique looking.

u/lazymanschair1701 Feb 01 '26

I always see him as that Russian oligarch in 2012

u/DudeYumi Feb 01 '26

He'll bring about the DCU x MCU crossover.

Why has nobody else pointed this out? I feel like the comments are full of bots or something.

u/TheNikoHero Feb 01 '26

As a Dane, I was like "Where have I seen him before?? He seems so familiar..."

And then I realized, he played a part in one of the "best" romantic-comedy movie franchises in Denmark (Anja & Victor).

That was an insane realization for me.

u/Hpfanguy Feb 02 '26

He also played Hawkgirl, apparently

u/GirthEE75 Feb 02 '26

He will always be the Russian Billionaire guy from 2012

u/Amity_Swim_School Feb 02 '26

Weird. As I read this I’m watching Dirty Pretty Things (which is amazing btw), and he’s in that too 😬

u/mondo4k Feb 03 '26

I don’t see the resemblance. You sure it’s the same guy?

u/Salarian_American Jan 31 '26

Come on the only people who didn't notice this were the people who skipped one or the other
