It's not all too often that a remake of a classic film manages to live up to what made the original so memorable. Even though it's recently been announced that the classic Sergio Leone Western, A Fistful of Dollars, is set to receive a remake of its own, it's understandable why it may be difficult for some to imagine that it would even come close to capturing a fraction of the spirit of the original. When it comes to remakes, two essential elements can either make or break its quality: its director and its star. While neither of these things have been announced yet, it can still be fun to speculate who may suit the bill. While it was Clint Eastwood who made the character the cinematic icon that he remains today, there is perhaps one actor who could potentially make the perfect successor.

For those who may not know the name, Aaron Pierre, they're about to very soon. Coming off such acclaimed performances in films like Rebel Ridge and Brother, James Gunn has announced that the actor will be joining the DC universe in the role of John Stewart on HBO's Lanterns. Even though Pierre's collective filmography in both film and television only consists of a few titles so far, he's certainly shown plenty of potential in them, becoming one of the industry's most promising rising stars. Looking at his physical traits as well as his overall acting talent, it's clear that he is more than capable of playing another one of the most iconic characters in all fiction.
