If Tesla is in this film I hope they cast him right. They've already done well with Cumberbatch as Edison. My choices for Tesla would be:
Christian Bale
Michael Fassbender
Gary Oldman
Danil Day-Lewis
gary oldman would be very interesting.
sharegood list, really looking forward to this movie
so many movies, so little time
Tesla is about a decade younger than Edison.... They need an actor in his 20s or 30s.
shareAcccording to Deadline Nicholas Hoult is going to play Tesla.

I think Robert Sheehan wouldve been a better fit: more talented, more convincing as a genius, not to mention closer in Tesla's long and lanky looks.
Nicholas Hoult is not convincing as a super clever person in KILL YOUR FRIENDS (a sort of 'American Psycho' wannabe film) nor is he a convincing Beast in the X-men films, who's supposed to be the inventor of all those gadgets. Since he hasnt managed to portray super-smartness this might end badly (mind you I'm not dissing him - he's great in A SINGLE MAN, so he can play 'emotional intelligence'). And to be a third genius, next to Michael Shannon and Benedict Cumberbatch - well, they really need someone who can hold up to those two scene-stealers.
I don't think he is convincing in any of those films. Disappointed at the choice. Hope it works out as really looking forward to this film.
