He might still fit because you would think clark Kent’s humour would be very dry and mostly rely on timing. The contrast would be great having the silliness come from the CIA characters who could be extremely animated and frustrated. I can only imagine the scenes about the CIA agents trying to explain to their boss why they keep failing
Directed by Wes Anderson, with Jason Schwartzman playing Superman/Clark Kent, Saoirse Ronan as Lois Lane, Bill Murray playing Perry White, and Owen Wilson as Luthor. CIA boss played by Jeff Goldblum, vice-President of the USA played by Anjelica Huston, and President not seen on-screen but voice acted by Ira Glass.
Yeah comedy doesn’t need to be about acting funny. Put Jim Carey in the same role and it’s a flop (that the reviews would call being carried by Jim, eh).
It might with Superman being completely oblivious that they’re trying to kill him so he’s just playing it straight. The CIA would be poisoning him and stuff and Superman would just not even notice.
Hey now, this last season of Witcher is hilarious, once you know the background drama between the diehard fans and the greedy fucks actually pulling the levers. I don’t think I’ve seen Geralt with fewer fucks to give, and I’ve put in hours in those games (IIRC, only Skyrim tops that total). 🤣😅🥹
Make it a movie or series and I’ll watch it. Only problem Henry Cavil isn’t good in comedies

Yeah he could be a good straight man.
That would be the best way for it to work. He barely notices these guys, and they keep failing…. Like Michael Palin in “A Fish called Wanda”
Not a bad idea actually
23 Jump Street
It absolutely would work.
Yeah Jim Carrey would be a CIA agent here not Clark Kent.

What the hell I want this now
chatGPT suggested Saoirse Ronan as a new straight-lady now that Anjelica Huston is old. The rest is me, and I agree, it would be awesome.
I’m picturing something like Lilo and Stitch lol
The man from uncle was great as he just played a straight face man and the comedic stuff happened around him

Jim Carey is great in serious roles though, right?
True. I imagined the body/sound comedy Carey.
Ok, then I agree wholeheartedly.
Wasn’t Justice League a comedy? I thought it was pretty funny.

It’s funnier if he plays the role completely straight anyway.

Jon Hamm is though
