Danny Huston compares Kevin Costner's Western epic, Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1, to a "fat novel." Huston portrays the character of Colonel Houghton in Horizon. Huston "relished" reading the script for his other Western, The Dead Don't Hurt, which is directed by Lotr's actor Viggo Mortensen.

Most Marvel fans will immediately recognize Danny Huston as X-Men Origins: Wolverines (2009) tyrannical William Stryker, who was utterly obsessed with collecting Mutant powers and applying them to his uncanny version of Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds).

He was even eyeing Sandra Bullock to star in the title role.

Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman does not always resort to lethal force in the DC Extended Universe films, but there are several instances when she kills her adversaries. Superheroes killing their enemies is a subject of debate and controversy in both comic books and their adaptations, with Superman and Batman’s Dceu iterations dividing viewers in their inconsistent use of lethal force. For Superman, the desperate act of killing General Zod led to him adopting his no-kill rule, while Batman usually doesn't kill criminals outside of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
