There he is again. Paul Walter Hauser. He’s just been cast in an undisclosed role in Marvel’s upcoming ‘Fantastic Four’ reboot. Earlier in the week, he was added to the ‘Naked Gun’ reboot. He’s also supposed to play Chris Farley in a Josh Gad directed biopic. He’s a busy bee.
Don’t get me wrong, Hauser is a highly talented actor. He’s a welcome sight in any movie that he appears in. The highlights in his filmography include “Richard Jewell,” “I, Tonya,” and “BlackKklansman.” He can soon be seen in Doug Liman’s upcoming “The Instigators,” set for a fall launch launch.
There were also rumors that he might have been cast in Quentin Tarantino’s now-scrapped “The Movie Critic.” THR had previously reported Hauser as having been scheduled to shoot a few scenes with Tarantino in February — Hauser denied the story on social media.
If that wasn’t enough, acting isn’t Hauser’s only trade. He’s also a “professional wrestler.” He was recently on tour, wrestling in an independent circuit, and the AEW. Hauser, a lifelong wrestling fan, has a Karate Kid crane kick as his signature move.
