Fans have always been curious as towhatRick and Mortywould look likeif the series ever went to live-action. Who would play and match the complexity of a character like Rick? A few actors' names have been thrown around in conversation of who would be able to most replicate everyone’s favorite villain. Actor Clint Eastwood’s name has been dropped as a possibility. However, Reddit userInfinite-Gainshared artwork that makes a strong case forDoctor Whostar Peter Capaldi to play the role of Rick Sanchez.
The artist joins the many fans who seem to have come to a consensus that Capaldi would do the role justice. The artwork re-imagines Capaldi as Rick and the results are disturbingly realistic. Capaldi is known for his outstanding roles asDoctor Whoand, most recently, the ThinkerinThe Suicide Squad.There aren’t many features of Rick that the artist had to implement for Capaldi to strike a resemblance. The features are surprisingly already present in Capaldi, down to the spikey white-grey hair and an unbothered expression on his face.
Many fans have even gone to the extent of simply calling the image Capaldi, no transformation necessary. Who knows whetherRick and Morty’s future will ever include live-action film, but as of now Capaldi has been reincarnated as Rick just through his normal appearance.
This image begs the question as to what exactly Morty would look like and which actor would fill his shoes best? Fans won’t have to leave much up to their imagination now that the intermissionofRick and Mortyseason 5is coming to a close.
