With fans ofThe Addams Familydiscussing who the perfect Gomez Addams would be in the next live-action adaptation, Oscar Isaac has emerged as another very popular choice. This month, it was revealed that Tim Burton is in the midst of developing a new take on pop culture’s ookiest family with a television series reboot. Given how frequently Burton has collaborated with Johnny Depp, many fans of Burton movies have naturally been campaigning for Depp to play the new Gomez in the TV series.
As the discussion over possible casting choices continues, other names have also consistently come up as options for Gomez. One of the most popular actors suggested for the role is Oscar Isaac, who certainly would have the look for the part. As it is now, Isaac is already playing an animated version of Gomez by voicing him in last year’sThe Addams Familyalong with next year’s sequel. For some fans, this would make him even more qualified to be cast for theTim Burtonversion of Gomez.
“Look I’ve been thinking. IfOscar Isaacisn’t cast as Gomez Addams in a live-action ofThe Addams Familyafter doing a perfect Gomez in the animated film, I’m going to riot,” tweets one fan.
Another tweet shares a similar sentiment, reading: “If a new live-actionAddams Familydoesn’t have Oscar Isaac as Gomez Addams in it I do not want it.”
Meanwhile, another fan feels that Isaac was essentially wasted by featuring in the animated movies when he should be the one playing the live-action Gomez.
“Will never be happy knowing that Oscar Isaac was perfect for therole of Gomezin a live-actionAddams Familymovie. Instead I got his voice and an ugly character design. Betrayal does not even begin to cover it,” the fan writes.
Joining both Isaac and Depp asanother popular suggestionisBohemian Rhapsodystar Rami Malek, who also looks a lot like Gomez when sporting a mustache. As for who might be playing his wife Morticia, Eva Green appears to be leading the pack as a top choice for fans on social media. Christina Ricci, who played Wednesday Addams in the original live-action movies, is also someone fans would love to see play Morticia. There’s no word yet on who Burton might be considering, but if he’s paying attention to the fan response, we might actually see one of these casting choices happen.
One possible roadblock preventing Isaac from doingThe Addams Familycould be his rumored involvement in Marvel’sMoon Knightseries. This week, it was reported that the actor is in talks to star in the Disney+ series, which is based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. Leading a new TV series for Marvel and Disney could potentially take Isaac out of the running forThe Addams Familyif his schedule wouldn’t allow it.
With Burton’sAddams Familyreboot still locking down a home, there’s no word yet on any casting information. Until official announcements begin to roll out, fans will likely continue to speculate online. One thing that’s definitely been made clear, however, is that there will be a lot of satisfied people if Isaac manages to get the role.
