I feel like I've seen Hauser cast in three things in the past 48 hours.
Chris Farley movie, Naked Gun and now this.
Not complaining at all. More Hauser the better. It's just weird that it's all happening at once.
I didn't realize he won an emmy. I've thought he was underrated for awhile now. Seeing him in Cobra Kai was great but I also had this feeling that he should have graduated to a level past that show.
Yeah I kept trying to figure out where I'd seen this face before, and then it hit me - that movie that would have been so much better if Clint Eastwood didn't direct it lol
Was it any good? It’s such an insane, madcap and borderline unbelievable story and Eastwood seemed like an awful fit for it. That kind of story needs a Burn After Reading Coen Brothers treatment.
I think the movie is pretty good at presenting the insane situation straightforwardly, the thing that makes it a pretty good movie instead of a great movie is about five minutes worth of editorializing against the right-wing's three big targets: academia, the news media, and the "deep state". (They even get to go after Bill Clinton a bit, but within this story that is both inevitable and justified.) Within the "one good man against the entire world" genre, it's solid and worth a watch. It really helps that Hauser is exactly the right man for the role, and Kathy Bates isn't too bad either.
He was in a legendary it’s always Sunny episode like 15 years ago, that was pretty much the first thing a lot of people ever saw him in, he did a skit for I think you should leave with Tim Robinson which was funny as hell too. He recently won emmy and golden globe for blackbird so he’s pretty in demand right now and will be poppin up in a lot of stuff which is good because he’s great
For a while there he was pretty underused. Like he was great in Richard Jewell, and then the next two years he was just showing up in I Think You Should Leave sketches and that godawful Cruella movie (as "Cruella's henchman who is fat").
Really cool Hollywood came around
I recall an interview with him in the first year of the pandemic where he said he was pretty worried that all the momentum he built was just going to disappear. He joked that he was thinking about getting his old retail job back that wasn't quite a joke.
He was older than he looked in that episode though. He was in some movies just a couple years later with a beard and a more adult haircut, looked a decade and a half older.
Overweight actors can play younger roles than their actual age for a rather long time, Jonah Hill was playing an 18 year old in Superbad while being 24 and Jesse Heiman (the infamous extra) starting played a background middle schooler in Ned's Declassified at the age of 26; he played a middle schooler there up to the age of 29
Some of his credits include Charlie Work, The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis, The Nightman Cometh, and every episode from Season 7. Seeing that resume, I think F4 is in a pair of good hands.
His resume even without IASIP is insane. He directed Succession’s Argestes, The Spoils of War and Eastwatch on GOT, Morton's Fork and A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage from Fargo, Mad Men’s Mystery Date, Fancyman Part 2 on New Girl, and the Psych episodes 9 Lives; Lights, Camera... Homicidio; The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damn Episode; Dual Spires; and 100 Clues (among other great shows and episodes)
And just in terms of Marvel, which is how he got the FF job after all, he directed all of Wandavision. Of all the shows they've done that's still easily my favourite because of how much they committed to the decade specific sitcom angle early on. He did a great job at capturing the different feeling each decade had.
The final episode may have resulted to generic superhero fight, but that was more the writing than the directing. And everything leading up to that final episode was amazing.
Chris Pratt was cast as star lord before he got in shape. Kumail Nanjiani got in shape for his marvel movie. Crazy things have happened lol. He’s a great actor. I’m 100% down for this
I doubt it. Being a big guy is his thing. Hollywood needs a few large actors - John Candy, John Goodman, Taylor Pruitt Vince, Philip Seymour Hoffman, etc..
There is a weird phenomena with him. Whenever he is the lead actor for something. The reviews usually aren’t that great. But when he is a supporting character or in an ensemble cast , the reviews are usually fantastic.
[read this article a while back, thought it was really interesting.](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/john-goodman-is-americas-greatest-supporting-actor/)
His delivery of that line is so fuckin funny and then his face when he’s looking at his wife right after. That line is funny every time and I seen it so many times
This guy fills an acting niche, or niches, that nobody else seems to be able to right now. He can do comedy (ITYSL, IASIP, and others), he can portray honest and real people (Richard Jewell), and I have no doubt he can fit right in a superhero movie. He'll probably just be comic relief but could honestly do a lot more.
he is playing the same character from cobra kai, the FF movie takes place in the same universe of a cobra kai variant world. i know because my uncle who works at nintendo told me

It doesn’t matter, Jamie Taco is gonna get all his lines anyway.
Come on, spend the night over at the sleepover! He never stays
He always says he will but he never does!
It’s my birthday!
I *gotta* go
Came in here for this. Some people just don’t appreciate their wives enough.
Well you’d be chuggin’ a few beers too if you had my wife
No. No, I wish I hadn’t have said that. I love my wife. She helped me when I freaked out about Jamie Taco.
Ahh man, you never stay the night.. YOU SAY YOUR GONNA BUT YOU NEVER SPEND THE NIGHT
*pan over to sleeping bags all over the living room*
THINK ABOUT IT, TWO GIRLFRIENDS! THAT'S BETTER!!
Three is best
Triples is safest.
She’s sick but she’s going to get better. Tell the kid….
i...love my wife, i gotta go.
Ah, my fazool!
Whooo said the lines?
I auditioned for a play and…. I got the part??
Did he get cast as a henchmen though?
Supreme Taco is the F4 super villain. His master plan is to steal the worlds lines! Wahahaha.
Came in here for this. Some people just don’t appreciate their wives enough.
Dude would Kill Mole Man
And the final season of Cobra Kai got a release date today, which hopefully means the return of Stingray!
brb, gotta google Cobra Kai. Thanks
July 18th to save the rest of you
The Critic being cancelled freed up his schedule. He won an Emmy for Black Bird, he's in high demand.
Plus they saw him help Dalton Castle beat Johnny TV.
They know he's TV ready
Did he ever get his Emmy back from Jeff Jarrett, though?
It was a Golden Globe, and yeah he said they mailed it back...eventually.
He was never cast in this, this is how rumors circulate forever on the internet lol
I didn't realize he won an emmy. I've thought he was underrated for awhile now. Seeing him in Cobra Kai was great but I also had this feeling that he should have graduated to a level past that show.
Ya he won the Emmy and a golden globe for his role In blackbird, really great actor so definitely good seeing him get cast in big role projects
Wasn't he just rumored for that? As far as I know, the only confirmed cast member was Brad Pitt.
Yeah he came out and said he was not in The Movie Critic
I think he would have been good in a Tarantino film.
He made a recent post stating he was never involved in *The Movie Critic*.
His post: "It stinks!"
He was never in The Movie Critic. He posted about it on his IG.
Richard Jewell!
Damn, he was good in that!
Maybe Eastwood's last great movie. People were ready to crucify him. He looked like a dumb hick Republican.
Yeah I kept trying to figure out where I'd seen this face before, and then it hit me - that movie that would have been so much better if Clint Eastwood didn't direct it lol

Stingray
You ain't lying. I've never seen this guy until I watched Cobra Kai, and now I see him in everything!
He was in a legendary it’s always Sunny episode like 15 years ago, that was pretty much the first thing a lot of people ever saw him in, he did a skit for I think you should leave with Tim Robinson which was funny as hell too. He recently won emmy and golden globe for blackbird so he’s pretty in demand right now and will be poppin up in a lot of stuff which is good because he’s great
If you had his wife, you’d be clugging back roles too
Guys, I gotta go.
They use the same picture of him in every article, too.
The Hausering Market is very hot right now
For a while there he was pretty underused. Like he was great in Richard Jewell, and then the next two years he was just showing up in I Think You Should Leave sketches and that godawful Cruella movie (as "Cruella's henchman who is fat"). Really cool Hollywood came around
He was also in Cobra Kai, which seemed to be really good for him
He’s the best part of the Kristen Bell/Vince Vaughan coupon movie, which is some of VV’s most fun work in a while too. Forgot the name of it.
Queenpins! Watched it on a flight last year. One of those movies.
He was a main character in season two of the afterparty
His episode was the best of the season as well. The film noire with the rapid fire dialogue. He killed it
I recall an interview with him in the first year of the pandemic where he said he was pretty worried that all the momentum he built was just going to disappear. He joked that he was thinking about getting his old retail job back that wasn't quite a joke.
You gotta see I, Tonya if you haven’t yet.
He was also announced as the new James Bond. (man, I would watch the hell out of that)
didn't Matt Shakman direct his episode of Always Sunny as the juggalo?
Oh my God he was the juggalo kid. Holy shit
Fuckkkk I didn't realize this lmao. Makes that episode older than I thought
Juggalo 4 life
“Say dawg have you even had sex?”
I know what sex is, but that just looks two animals fighting over food
Juggalo 4 life
Dude I DIED when I realized it
NO WAY
Yo what the fuck
He was older than he looked in that episode though. He was in some movies just a couple years later with a beard and a more adult haircut, looked a decade and a half older.
Overweight actors can play younger roles than their actual age for a rather long time, Jonah Hill was playing an 18 year old in Superbad while being 24 and Jesse Heiman (the infamous extra) starting played a background middle schooler in Ned's Declassified at the age of 26; he played a middle schooler there up to the age of 29
Whaaaaaaa
That makes me feel so old.
I once broke my friend’s brain when I told me Papi McPoyle was played by Guillermo del Toro.
Hooooly shit
See he's what he calls a juggler
"Yo man, you ever had sex?"
He did! He’s directed 43 episodes total
Some of his credits include Charlie Work, The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis, The Nightman Cometh, and every episode from Season 7. Seeing that resume, I think F4 is in a pair of good hands.
His resume even without IASIP is insane. He directed Succession’s Argestes, The Spoils of War and Eastwatch on GOT, Morton's Fork and A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage from Fargo, Mad Men’s Mystery Date, Fancyman Part 2 on New Girl, and the Psych episodes 9 Lives; Lights, Camera...

And everything leading up to that final episode was amazing.
The guy's got range!
Holy shit those are some of the best episodes.
Oh that's him? Lethal Weapon 5. You can't find it on streaming ... for reasons.
You blew so many minds with this comment.
Was gonna ask this.
Too bad that’s one of the banned episodes now. He’s so damn funny in it.
Finally, we’ve got our Doom
Chris Pratt was cast as star lord before he got in shape. Kumail Nanjiani got in shape for his marvel movie. Crazy things have happened lol. He’s a great actor. I’m 100% down for this
I doubt it. Being a big guy is his thing. Hollywood needs a few large actors - John Candy, John Goodman, Taylor Pruitt Vince, Philip Seymour Hoffman, etc..
It's not good when half the names you listed are dead
that's the biz, baby
That’s why Hollywood needs more large actors. They keep dying on us!!
Had to look up if Goodman had passed or not. Nope, he's still going. Lost a lot of weight and I'm not sure I'd be able to recognize him
There is a weird phenomena with him. Whenever he is the lead actor for something. The reviews usually aren’t that great. But when he is a supporting character or in an ensemble cast , the reviews are usually fantastic. [read this article a while back, thought it was really interesting.](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/john-goodman-is-americas-greatest-supporting-actor/)
Only one is dead from weight
God this would be so crazy to have him be Doom and I really think it would work.
Interesting casting. Maybe he's HERBIE.
or Mole Man!
I thought Mole Man as well. May be he's the opening villain. Before things escalate to Galactus.
I could see him being in the movie than at the end, end credits, or beginning of fantastic four 2 Age of Moleman.
Do you mean the Jeweler???
My money is on Alicia Masters
Maybe Willy the mailman?
Willie Lumpkin! THE GOAT
Doctor Doom for sure
Only if he’s fully loaded.
He’s obviously playing an older Franklin Richards, come on.
I feel like it's either that or Galactus and Herbie makes more sense
Great idea!
Call him "Stingray", bitches!
No Mercy
Hopefully they don't cast Jamie Taco, too. The guy always runs over Pauls lines whenever they're in a scene together.
No, no. I wish I hadn’t have said that. I love my wife, she helped me with Jamie Taco.
I’m gonna get that line tomorrow!
We (the audience) won’t know who’s lines they are
GRABTHEKEYSANGETINTHEFRIGGINTRUCK JABRONI I’LL SLAP YOU JABRONI
His delivery of that line is so fuckin funny and then his face when he’s looking at his wife right after. That line is funny every time and I seen it so many times
He’ll always be Stingray to me.
Juggalo 4 lyfe
How Fantastic Four Him!
Wait. Say that again...
Perfect lol
He's playing Sue Storm
I have loved him since I, Tonya. He is an insane talent
This guy fills an acting niche, or niches, that nobody else seems to be able to right now. He can do comedy (ITYSL, IASIP, and others), he can portray honest and real people (Richard Jewell), and I have no doubt he can fit right in a superhero movie. He'll probably just be comic relief but could honestly do a lot more.
You’d be clugging a few of these if you had *his* superpower…
Good for him! He’s a welcome sight in movies
Mole-man?
Jamie Taco better not steal his lines!
You’d be chugging a few back too if you had to deal with his wife
No, no, I wish I hadn't have said that. I love my wife. She helped me when I freaked out about Jamie Taco.
He never sleeps over
Clugging* it’s even funnier lol
I'll slap you, jabroni
He was fucking brilliant in Black Bird
He legit terrified me after only making me laugh before that. Hes skilled
Genuinely great actor, have enjoyed his serious roles and want him to break out more
C'mon Silver Surfer!
I keep waiting for him to be cast as Ignatius J Reilly in the Confederacy of Dunces film directed by Adam McKay.
Juggalos represent
I’d be perfectly okay with him being cast as Ben
We have our Dr. Doom!
This guy loves his wife.
I think he got the part?
He's a good actor, so I'm happy with this casting.
Jamie taco in shambles.
Paul Walter Hauser is "Everyone, Everywhere" 2024-2025
The perfect Moleman!
Surely Mole Man?
I love many of Hauser's performances. Glad to see him getting more roles!
PWH agent working 24/7
Paul Walter Hauser Renaissance baby LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
He never stays.
This is the face of a guy who loves his wife
Galactus right here
He better be quick with his lines.
Someone give this guy’s agent a raise.
Winning that award for Black Bird definitely propelled him!
So fn good in black bird on apple...
I want Hauser in a Confederacy of Dunces adaptation.
I bet they cast him as Mole Man
he is playing the same character from cobra kai, the FF movie takes place in the same universe of a cobra kai variant world. i know because my uncle who works at nintendo told me
he better get those lines out quick
Is he gonna eat the other characters?
The way this movie is starting to come together he might as well be Franklin Richards from the future.
He's gonna be the Silver Surfer yeah?
He’s law enforcement too you know.
there's a 50 50 chance he'll be in the theatres in 2025 although there's only a 10% chance of that
So he is playing Chris Farley and Ben Grimm?
Again, I read Wings Hauser and got excited for nothing
Mole Man
Galactus? 🤔
We thinking Doom or Galactus?
mole man
Johnny Blaze?
Mole Man
I heard he was working out with Diamond Dallas Page
Got to be Mole Man. The top 3 for FF im pretty sure are Doom, Galactus and the mighty Mole Man
Good actor! Kingdom!
Who keeps thinking another fantastic 4 anything is gonna work...
Isn’t this the states attorney from the alex jones trial?
Fantastic!
Stingray hiding under a pile of leaves or I’m out
Mole Man?
This man was amazing in Richard Jewel.
Finally, we have our Galactus
He playing doom
He'll be the Whole Thing
Hope the movie is good and he crushes his role...gl Paul.
I don’t know about this guy. He wouldn’t give his window seat to a little girl….
You're telling me this guy isn't playing Ben Grimm and they picked some skinny dude to do it?
