Nobody wants anything more than the internet wants Ben Schwartz to play Plastic Man
Aux Features Ben Schwartz
The good news is, Ben Schwartz genuinely loves all of your Plastic Man wish casting fan art which, as the The Late Late Show With James Corden illustrated, is available in abundance. When the comedian and Parks And Recreation alum responded to the news of a Plastic Man film last year with interest, fans swiftly ran with the idea, co-signing in the form of online pleas and some exceptional artwork. The late night show invited Schwartz to film a video of him personally going through a stack of art that started to span his career, but mostly reflected the internet’s strong desire to see him as DC’s stretchy superhero.
After the third Plastic Man picture, Schwartz playfully asked if the show had a researcher that knew of his other work. Has no artist been inspired by his forthcoming Sonic The Hedgehog or currently awesome Duck Tales work yet?
Schwartz also admired tributes to Jean-Ralphio Saperstein and told a brief story behind his Playboy photo shoot, which featured him smooching a rubber duck.

They should use Gail Simones current run of Plastic Man as the basis for the script. So that it will be so crazy, nonesense horrible that someone will finally realize how useless of a writer she is. Also it will be randomly full of food references every few minutes.
Someone seems a mite jealous about how awesome Gail Simone is.
Ha just read it I dare you. You’ll love it😉
I have read it, it’s awesome.
Agreed. They should make a major motion picture in order to *reads notes* shame a female comic book writer.
Wait I thought all the internet wanted was Ant-Man to jump up Thanos’ butt. I’ve only seen 900 stories about it in the past couple of weeks.
That’s the Internet’s answer to everything. Jump up a butt. Jump up a butt.
To be fair, sometimes we want people to jump DOWN a butt.
Plastic Man doesn’t even have to jump to get up in that butt.
Pedantic Nerd Alert!
Actually, Plastic Man is DC, so really that’s the Marvel side of the Internet. The DC side wants this…. more than anything else in the entire world (other than Zach Snyder’s head on a pike, of course).
Field Trip!
Is this what you were referencing?
Have there been death threats about this yet? Because no uprising of internet populism is complete without some death threats.
I’ll KILL YOU IF YOU DON’T SHOVE ANT MAN UP THANOS’ ASS!!!
I would also accept Stephen Colbert as Plastic Man.
i always wanted colbert as reed richards.
he already was mr impossible tho
God I would love him as Plastic Man. Give me that sweet sweet cheese.
Stacey Augmon?
I mean this in the best possible way, but he would be the wooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrst! (said in sing songy voice)
*bass vocalsHe is the woooOOOooorrst!
Get
Ben Schwartz is a perfectly acceptable choice for Plas, so long as we can’t go back to 1990 and cast Bruce Campbell in his prime in the role, or go to 1997 and cast Jim Carrey in his prime in the role.
Is it wrong that I just want 90’s era Bruce Campbell to somehow be brought forward in time to play Plastic Man? Then I don’t wanna be right.
He should also get the nod if a live action “Freakazoid” movie ever gets greenlit
