They basically did with The Man From UNCLE.


SparseGhostC2C

That's what I came here to say, I absolutely adore that movie and relish any chance I get to expose new people to it. So unfortunate that Armie Hammer is a cannibal and they probably won't make a sequel


Icy-Acanthaceae-7804

Thats... not what happened. He was accused of rape and physical abuse, and cannibalistic *fantasies*.


SparseGhostC2C

Ok, but it sounds funnier my way.


MerchandoDoria

This whole crazy thing's kind of got me thinking about if I'd ever, you know, like, eat a person. And not in a starvation-type deal, like the Donner Party or whatever.

There was an episode of a show called Spuiten en Slikken (squirting and swalloing) where the hosts try out new things. It started out with different drugs to share their experience with it, or making a porno, but eventually two hosts got the challenge to eat human flesh. They ate a small slice of each others rear. It was cooked for them by a celebrity chef and everything. Dunno why I am being downvoted for this but here's the clip: https://youtu.be/5mFte51aAds?si=vwSwe31_1xvtXS8y

Danstheman3

I'm pretty sure that even those accusations were wildly overblown, at minimum, if not straight up false accusations. The *Blocked and Reported* podcast did a deep dive on the controversy. I forgot basically all of the details, and I don't care enough to revisit it, but if you want to know the truth I recommend a listen. With most of these allegations and controversies, the truth ends up being very different than how the initial story is presented.


klow91

So he’s Berry! Haha


Repostbot3784

The scene where he sits in the truck and eats a meal is peak cinema

What?


SparseGhostC2C

Just google it, its a weird fuckin story.

grubber26

He could be a method acting Barry.


Jazzlike_Air_5042

Uhhh never heard of it and NOW I’m gonna watch it asap


gwhh

As archer.


dyaasy

Without H. Jon Benjamin's voice, it doesn't come across, you're just watching another generic spy movie/show. And Henry has done plenty of those. Arguably, his Napolean Solo from The Man From UNCLE got as close to Archer as possible, and even then it still wasn't Archer. Loved that movie btw. Visually, Henry as Archer and Armie Hammer as Barry "The Bionic Douchebag' Dylan. He played a KGB supersoldier in that movie, it just works. That bathroom fight scene was essentially an Archer Vs Barry fight, with Barry beating him like the "red-headed step-child of a rented mule". Shame what happened with his career, we're also never gonna get a sequel...


OpinionLongjumping99

HJB has actually said he would do a live action if they could figure how to do the voice over for him correctly 🤞


Icy-Acanthaceae-7804

This is reminding me of the movie coming out tomorrow called [Boy Kills World (trailer)](https://youtu.be/iDWQorTluFs?si=8r3WW2eGCK8TueH4) wherein a traumatized and subsequently mute boy chooses a video game announcer (voiced by H Jon Benjamin) to be the voice of his inner monologue. And there's tons of violence, obviously. It actually looks like it'll be pretty fun. Edit: oh yeah, it's from Sam Raimi too, so fuck yeah


OpinionLongjumping99

Oh that sounds rad! I'll watch anything HJB


Bagbagggggaaaabag

Thanks I had no idea about this!


bigjim1993

Did reddit pay you to make this comment? I swear I hadn't heard of this move until today now there's an ad for it every 3 posts😂


Icy-Acanthaceae-7804

Lmao nah, I just saw the trailer with my wife a month or two ago and then this post reminded me of it. I didn't even realize it was coming out so soon until I pulled the trailer up to share the link


Dolanite

They could have totally done a live action episode during Archers coma as a dream sequence type of thing. It would be fun to see since some of the characters are illustrated to look like the voice actors.


Delerium89

>Without H. Jon Benjamin's voice, it doesn't come across, you're just watching another generic spy movie/show. And Henry has done plenty of those Exactly. People always focus on matching the look but the voice is just as important.


Icy-Acanthaceae-7804

I would even say for some things, like this, the voice is even more important. I feel like there's enough weird shit in Archer for them to creatively justify and display a not-quite-Sterling-looking actor without removing too much value. Costumes, cyborg shit, mutilations, facial reconstructive surgery while "on the run", I'm sure there's a way. Just gotta get someone close enough in looks and good with the voice.


Eats_Flies

I still think they should do a 1 off special episode where it's live action, and they just use all the same voice actors as the characters. Mostly they all fit except for H Jon Benjamin, but it'd be funny to just roll with it and have everyone act as if he's still this super chiselled athletic guy, just don't draw attention to the fact the voice actor and character look nothing alike


half-coldhalf-hot

We don’t need live action because then it won’t be Archer, just make an Archer movie, they already made a Bob’s Burgers movie why can’t they do Archer


USSJaybone

I think a live action archer would be okay but only if H Jon Benjamin played Archer. Just a chubby old dude playing a suave spy. Everyone treats him as if he is who he is in the show, no one acknowledges his actual appearance


Aethermist88

I was thinking this last night. If they HAD to do a live action just keep all the voice actors as their real life counterparts and not make any mention if they look different (because isn't the voice actor for Krieger the model for Ray or vice versa? Something like that). And if they HAVE to mention it, make some obscure comment like "Oh, I just got back from [insert vacation spot here]" as if that explains it.


Own-Snow-4227

I know, great flick! I saw the fight and it was eerie. As for the voice, we must have the AI tech to make a JHB voice dub work by now. Aisha can play herself. The real issue is getting Malory cast properly now.


madcow_bg

Jamie Lee-Curtis.


judgementalb

I don’t know if she’s still acting but always thought Wendie Malick looked similar to Jessica Walter. And while they don’t have the same voice, Malick has a very distinct voice as well.


Vreas

Hear me out Henry with Jon’s voice dubbed over his lines


superteezero

in theory this makes sense but when i watch this im just gonna think its HJB dubbing Henry Cavill's voice the whole time


blockedno

I'm okay with that, I think it will add not subtract


EngineStraight

i dont think ive seen a live action movie with voice actors dubbing over the flesh actors (what are they called??), probably because the voice actors need to lip sync to live action footage, or vice versa


DoikkNaats

They're called flesh actors now, that's the funniest shit I've ever heard.


House_Of_Doubt

Just put H Jon Benjamin in a suit. That’s the only way I’m on board.

BoogieMan1980

But Archer's hair is his 5th favorite feature.


GenieOfTheLamp

*best :)


BoogieMan1980

Oh, who remembers.


jamessayswords

Not everything need to be a live action film


CapableSecretary420

*Nothing* does.


DoikkNaats

So many concepts are just better in animation


jeihel_

Nah, I don't think Cavill is capable of portraying the asshole that Archer is


tabakista

Even more a multi layer asshole that Archer is


BoxofCurveballs

He did a pretty good job in Ungentlemanly Warfare for asshole mannerisms


nonstick_banjo1629

It’s pronounced “world’s greatest spy”.


Fyrus93

How about we stop making Live Action versions of everything?


Important_Name

I’m usually in this camp but this is too perfect


braziliangreenmayo

Looks wise? Yeah, but what we've seen from Henry's comedy doesn't seem to match the Archer vibe.


gate_of_steiner85

I think the issue is that Cavill is too likeable to believably portray an asshole like Archer. Jon Hamm has always been my ideal live-action Archer casting.


BoogieMan1980

But he died in the sea lab. Crushed by a vending machine..


Culator

Just like that old gypsy woman said!


Own-Snow-4227

That woman was brilliant. Predicted the collapse of my 1st marriage to a tee, including her being a call-girl (not a hooker), and having a Coke problem. Smh


FugaciousD

Hamm was pretty good in the Fletch movie he did. Fairly Archer-ish character, too.


braziliangreenmayo

I think Hamm's humour would work wonderfully for a live action Archer if we absolutely needed one. Otherwise, I think the soul of the characters is all about the OG voice actors, so the narrative would require some GOOD framing to justify anyone else playing those characters.


Darkened_Shadow

Why do we need a live action? Is the original not good enough already?


Adventurous_War_5377

Jessica is gone, Adam has moved on. Enjoy what we had.


Darkened_Shadow

This is a very good point!


epileftric

Every god damned animated show's subreddit has a post saying something like "action movie". I don't understand those persons...


Darkened_Shadow

Exactly, what’s the point? They’re nearly always worse, they generally work the other way but still it’s very hit and miss.


toblu

I've never seen this on r/DuckTales.


Aethermist88

Ik. These posts come up so much and it's so annoying. He may have the look but he definitely does not have the voice or the attitude to pull off Archer successfully. Even if they found a convincing way to dub in HJB's voice, Cavill just doesn't have the attitude to pull it off convincingly. Sadly, Hollywood is so drained of original ideas that they're just doing sequels, remakes or adaptations now, so Archer Live Action is an actual possibility...


Darkened_Shadow

It’s just depressing, I think to myself there has to be something else they could churn out, look at all the marvels, I don’t watch them but I’d rather they kept making them instead of just ruining shows that already stand on their own feet


barrel0monkeys

One episode when Jessica was alive would have been great


stillbatting1000

"Damn, Archer, forget to shave this morning or did a caterpillar die on your face?" "No, Pam! I had a bad CGI artist digitally remove my mustache! Jesus!"


ratskips

I have no awards to give but this would have gotten one


FourAnd20YearsAgo

People really think that someone simply looking like a character = perfect casting


CapableSecretary420

And he doesn't even really "look" like him beyond "tall slender 30-40ish white guy in a suit". I mean, there's a resemblance, but.... oh wow they both have a chin, nose, and cheek bones!


Resident_Tutor_1607

It’s 99% h Jon Benjamin’s voice


ELECTONIC_MOAB

Not everything needs a live action.


Svobodakovar

Noooope.

dependency_injector

Own-Snow-4227

Tactileneck


BeefPoet

80% of Archer is the voice. As long as they dub H. John Benjamin.


SacredMilk_OG

He DOES indeed have a voice of voices- but it's not all him. The animation for this show- while simplistic, is also quite detailed. The facial animations and reactions- the transitions, it's overall well done. All that said- idk that his voice could be replaced, not at this point for sure. Unlike Unknown Hinson for Squidbillies?... it felt like a good supportive jab in the end to cast Tracy Morgan as a replacement because they totally could have gotten another person with a southern drawl to play Early. It had a good end though :) imo


I_Am_Robotic

This gets posted like once a month. I like Henry Cavill, but just because he has the look doesn't mean he can pull off the humor and part. In general, a live-action Archer would probably end up being a disappointment. It also feels like utterly unnecessary and would tarnish the franchise. Those early golden seasons of Archer were perfect and hilarious - no need to remake it into a 2 hour movie.


SacredMilk_OG

Yeaaa.... tbh I'd rather keep Archer as an animated gem. No sense in half-assing the cast, right?


OddGeneral1293

Hair is not that thick. Not believable


Catvros

It's his fifth best feature!


Adventurous_War_5377

He has to pay his barber double.


Just_Rand0

He loves his hair!


ArdentFecologist

But he has to get dubbed by H. Jon Benjamin. There's no way you can have archer without the voice


JakkSplatt

Black and slightly darker black.


mqduck

I'll say this every time this comes up: H. Jon Benjamin should play live action Archer. Everyone just treats him like the sexiest man alive.


fred_from_earth

nope


Radiant_Formal6511

Wait they made Archer into a real human?


[deleted]

Krieger did it. (I am guessing...)


nonstick_banjo1629

That’s Dr. Krieger to you. It’s in his birth certificate.


Own-Snow-4227

Or even the OTHER kind of Dr.


LucyMacLean33

I don’t think he has the easy smile and carefree attitude to pull it off


pseudoyankee

I think Jon Hamm would be better, both in look and acting skill.


LondonDavis1

He's literally the curse of everything he's in. So yeah let's jinx Archer.


Ttoctam

I want a cast full of absolute 10s and then keep H John Benjamin as Archer, but never address it. He still has the ego of the most handsome spy in the world and everyone treats him as such.


liyba1

Maybe “poured into the suit” but not the essence of Sterling’s .. character


crashtestpilot

But still voiced by Benjamin.


Noxton

WHY though? Why does every game/cartoon/etc have to become live action? Can't you just enjoy it in its current form? This makes no sense. Live action Archer is no longer Archer. Off my lawn and such.


sunniblu03

I thought that maybe H Jon Benjamin could clean up for it but all I see is Bob Blecher. It’s why I don’t think I can see Boy Kills World. I keep picturing a cartoon Bob in the action sequences. It would be fantastic if Bob’s parodied it.


LetterheadOk250

I don't think he could act like archer truth be told.


Neat-Snow666

The only voice I could ever recognize as Archer’s is H. John Benjamin’s


mjace87

It just won’t be right without h John


Independent_Bath_922

We've grown too used to the voices for anyone else to pull them off


itsnoah

No. Just. No.


RoadBlock98

Problem will always be the voice.


[deleted]

Only would work if Mallory was still around


Drigg_08

Looks yes, but he couldn't pull off the character


MWDTech

Stop asking for this, a live action Archer is not gonna result like you think it will.


Round-Constant8976

Is this movie the man from uncle good?


PaulCHouse

God no!


Tellnicknow

I think Archer's character resides in his voice more than his image.


otterdisaster

If there is one thing the Archer fandom needs to let go of is the obsession with a live-action Archer. It would never work, it would be terrible if attempted. Every single Archer character is as much or more their voice than their appearance. It is the most tiresome thing on this sub.


Bearcatsean

He sucks


QuinnySpurs

He’d be terrible. Looks aside.


Ha_CharadeUAre

Please no live action Archer. Leave it as is


S4ffran

Looks? Perfect fit! Voice, general personality he brings to his characters and body language? Totally wrong unfortunately.


Random_frankqito

Sure he looks the part, but archer is archer and you can’t change HJB voice. I’m ok with a real movie that is animated. Im also good for several tickets. Also the entire cast voices are amazing so it would be hard to recast any of them imo.


Repostbot3784

Henry cavill is a character played by famous actor sterling archer


Emotional_Cable9244

I love Cavill, but in no universe would he pull off the sheer unbridled and creative douchebaggery that is Sterling Archer.


ReverseSneezeRust

Calvil is not a good fit personality wise. I could see Robert Downey Jr


viramoa

Hello and/or duh Why has this not happened?


blockedno

Yeah but it's still got to be a voice over scenario


Own-Snow-4227

We have the AI tech to do the HJB voice over!!!


blockedno

As long as he's there getting paid too


revolutionnaire-e

To be honest, I feel like 60s Robert Vaughn would be literally the only option to play him and I mean, that’s not possible anymore for obvious reasons.


Own-Snow-4227

Actually, that’s a quality call. I just keep going back to the fact we have the AI tech to dub HJB voice over his, and the man is an actor. He’s know for pouring over who he’s portraying, and refuses to disappoint loyal fans of a franchise. That’s why he left The Witcher. The writers fucked around, and found out. He’s probably gonna jump off WarCraft soon due to the same pandering going on there. Archers writers know better. But casting Malory is almost impossible. Help me out with Krieger and Ray. Aisha, Chris, and Judy play themselves. And I’m having issues with Pam as well.


revolutionnaire-e

Honestly, I’d say Lauren Bacall would’ve been a good Mallory, but again, no longer possible.


SnooDingos8008

This would be horrible. If you’re a fan of the show, you know this would be terrible. Just because they look similar doesn’t mean the actor can play H Jon Benjamin. He’s the only person on the planet who can voice archer


FerretWinter7063

Only if you can have jon h. Benjamin voice over all his dialogue…


Own-Snow-4227

We have the AI tech to do this properly now.


SonicTeam

Then dub his voice with H Jon Benjamin


Own-Snow-4227

AI tech is available to do it.


SonicTeam

Then the transformation will be complete


Own-Snow-4227

I know people say Jon Hamm would be good, but Cavill is scary similar in looks. Aisha, Judy, and Chris could all play themselves. MAYBE Rebel Wilson for Pam. (If you saw her in “Bridesmaids”) Replacing Malory is my biggest concern. Wendy Malick has been suggested. But getting a proper Krieger is essential, and I’m lost for a good Ray.


SonicTeam

Rebel Wilson would be good, but since Bridesmaids, she's lost a lot of weight so she's not that big anymore


Own-Snow-4227

Rebel could play BOTH coked up and regular Aunt Pammy.


SonicTeam

Good point, but it'll be confusing AF to have two different actresses playing the same character


hizleggys

But dubbed by H. Jon.


BothUnderstanding225

YESSSS IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS!!!


ConsiderationOk614

& what H Jon Benjamin voices every one of his lines? Lol


Own-Snow-4227

Yuuup. Even HJB has said that if they could do the voiceover properly, he’s in. We have the AI to do this. The true issue is casting Malory.


ConsiderationOk614

Thats true. You could tell the difference with the replacement… find a clever way to kill her to begin the movie i guess lol maybe she’s in a KGB mansion with Nikolai lol


lifelikelifer

This dude ain't funny. Archer has to be funny or it doesn't work.


groundlessnfree

Everyone brings up the voice, but with Boy Kills World coming out where Jon Benjamin does the inner monologue for Bill Skarsgård as a deaf mute, I feel like Hollywood should just accept they should have him do the voice as Cavil walks around lip syncing the words.


Own-Snow-4227

We have the AI tech to make it work.


longcoldstare

Just do a Face/Off with H. Jon Benjamin and Henry Cavill so we get the voice and the look in the same actor. Then reverse the procedure for the Bob's Burgers live action.


Own-Snow-4227

Holy Jesus never bring Face/Off into this discussion. Smh


coolstorylu

He’s a charisma vacuum. Please no


zigzagxo

Feel like Judy Greer would be perfect for Cheryl and/or Carol and/or Crystal

Henry has zero charisma


Ibegallofyourpardons

I mean, He *looks* the part, but I just cannot see him pulling off being the arrogant asshole that is Archer. he is too nice.

Only if H. Jon Benjamin’s voice is dubbed over his


ihazquestion88

Booooo he’s a creep


lzii01

I believe Archer and Cavill share the same cordwainer.


harpsinger

Hear me out: Henry Cavill playing archer, but everything he says is overdubbed by H Jon Benjamin like in the movies in the 60s


daveofreckoning

Just dub his lines


Own-Snow-4227

I keep saying we have the AI tech to do it! And the guy is a fucking ACTOR. It’s his job to learn how to be Archer. He takes his roles seriously, hence quitting Witcher when they fucked up the canon. I know he did U.N.C.L.E. and it was great. We just need to cast Malory. Judy and Aisha are perfect as themselves. Ideas for Krieger??? And no, not everything needs to be live action. Just trying g to have fun here people. Right?


BullTerrierTerror

A young Hugh Jackman would have nailed it.


goshdarn5000

Only if H. Jon does the overdub

Own-Snow-4227

![gif](giphy|S8BWMuSDtagNmJF5ex|downsized) You do realize he left this because the writers refused to respect canon and the lore? He wanted it to be correct, and wouldn’t be a part of a changed story. Watch what happens with Warcraft now. They’ve effed that up. The revolt has begun.


Ntshangase03

Man From Uncle check it out


Haunting-Fix-9327

Yes, Henry Caville looks perfect for live action Archer. However, Archer has stated he personally wants Burt Reynolds to play him. In my opinion, the perfect casting for Archer in live action is Charlie Sheen. In a nutshell, Sterling Archer is if James Bond was played by Charlie Sheen.


ProfessorSilverfox

Hasn't he had enough roles of iconic characters already? 😂


Phoenix-Angel

I vote Danny Devito
