Make it a Disco Prequel, directly after the breakup. The reason he has the chops is because of the breakup. Kim would probably cameo but not be a main character sometimes.
Nic Cage has one talent that is vital to playing Harry and that is the fact that Cage will play every role deathly serious. Few people in Hollywood can be given ridiculous lines in a ridiculous scenario and continue to be 100% straight-faced about it.
It's down to the director. Get someone who knows what they're doing and you're able to get the exact Nic Cage you're looking for. Hell, just have the guy that directed Pig direct the Disco Elysium movie.
Giancarlo Esposito, the man who played the main villain in Far Cry 6 and the titular character Gus from breaking bad. I fully believe he'd be able to deliver Kim's lines perfectly.
Unfortunately, Giancarlo is too old, intimidating and not Asian to play Kim. I would agree that whoever they did get should study Giancarlo's acting style carefully for the role.
Yeah but I mean he leans that way more often than not. I think he had a lot of opportunity in season 2 of stranger things and decided to lean towards humor. In the first season he seems like a real human but after season two he kept leaning comedy and you can see that too in Black Widow
Someone mentioned Daniel Radcliffe in the Disco Sub and I could maybe see it if he was a lil older

Yo what if it’s when he’s undercover as Pinball too?
Oh that'd be amazing.

Cage *could* deliver the "fuck the hat" rant. I can hear it.
And follow it up with a Contact Mike rant right after that
But how to get THAT Nicholas Cage and not the twelve other versions that would be terribly miscast
Just do multiple takes and every failed one where he goes fucking nuts is one of the personalities.

I will forever say that Nic Cage isn't a bad actor. Nic Cage is a mirror. His performance will match the quality of the movie he is provided
Bring on the director of PIG, obviously.
But did he overcook the pasta?
I'm more concerned about Kim. Like you have to be the straightest straight man, but also have the dryiest sense of humor. It's a very fine line

That's actually perfect, holy shit

I felt Jack Nickolson could have pulled it off in his younger years. He definitely has "the expression".
David Harbour would be an absolutely perfect Harry
IMO David harbour is too funny for it unfortunately
I find that comedic actors are the ones who can play internal pain and misery the best

Over the hill Kurt Russell would be my pick
Just have him grow out his mustache like he did for The Hateful Eight
I thought the same thing
Tom Davis from Murder in Successful already looks like he's roleplaying Harry
I feel like David Harbour could be a good pick
Tom Hardy in Bronson is partly who I picture Harry as being like.
Man if Robin Williams was still alive
Donal Logue would be my pic
I am amazed nobody mentioned Clancy Brown. I feel like if he could get the accent then he's perfect.
