CW Deathstroke Manu Bennett Comments on Joe Manganiello's Big-Screen Casting
Manu Bennett, well known for his role as Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke on The CW's Arrow, has taken to Twitter to comment on the recent casting of Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke for the solo Batman picture.
“Ok if Joe is playing Deathstroke I’m gonna Magic Mike." To decrypt this for you, he's essentially responding to a gif of himself dancing seductively during a comic-con panel. So, Manganiello got a hold of some of that magic, and subsequently landed the role.
Bennett holds a soft spot for the character, however has recently been vocal about the show's direction with him. "I think Deathstroke had a lot of possibilities with Arrow but I think they took it in the wrong direction."
