Hilarious Fan Reactions

Many fans have been poking fun and speculating about Adrien Brody and Leonardo DiCaprio’s possible casting in the film. Let's take a look at some of their most hilarious reactions!

"Who is Evel Knievel?" a user asked.

A popular question fans have been asking — who in the world is Evel Knievel? After all, his name sounds like that of a villain, given how Evel is so close to Evil. But not many know that he was actually a legendary American stunt performer and entertainer.

"So what I’m hearing is Oscar," another wrote.

What happens when an Oscar-winning director makes a film with not just one but two Oscar-winning actors? You get a lot more Oscar nominations and wins! And that just might be the case with the Evel Knievel movie.

"Will he use AI again?" wondered another.

Brody has faced criticism after it was revealed that an AI tool was used solely to edit his Hungarian dialogue in The Brutalist. This fan is really hoping he steers clear of it this time.

"Can I be his stunt double, please?" a fan pleaded.

Talk about making the most of an opportunity! This fan is eager to be a stunt double for one of the lead actors in the movie. Honestly, being a stunt double for Leonardo DiCaprio or Adrien Brody would be one of the coolest jobs ever!

"This movie is going to be 4 hours long isn't it. LMAO," pointed another.

Damien Chazelle’s movies have been getting progressively longer, and with a lead pair this impressive, this user believes it might just end up being four hours long!

The news of Adrien Brody possibly joining Leonardo DiCaprio in Damien Chazelle’s next film has definitely piqued fans’ interest. Now, they want nothing more than to see this pairing happen for the first time. C’mon, guys, make it happen!
