Static Fancast: Dexter Darden

I love watching the Static Shock animated series and think it would be perfect to adapt into a movie. If DC Comics and Warner Bros. ever decide to greenlight a Static Shock movie who do you think should be cast as Static? I think Dexter Darden would make an awesome Virgil Hawkins/Static.

He did an amazing job as Frypan in The Maze Runner movies, he made you see how brave, thoughtful, caring and level headed the character was especially considering all the devastating things that were happening in that series.

In the animated series, Virgil is such a fun character, he's smart and geeky but also very outgoing. As his superhero alter ego Static he uses his intelligence, skills, fun one-liners and his really cool electrical powers to stop crime. I could see Darden as the fun loving hero, he's a good actor and definitely has the look to portray the character.
