He's in an awkward spot - too old to play Hulkling, but too young to play Apollo... if a Midnighter and Apollo movie were made like in 5-6 years from now, he'd be the perfect age then.

I'd say Angel is the best option. Angel's age seems to fluctuate in the comics, and he could fit that nebulous medium range between young adult and mature adult.
 
I really like this guy. He’s hot, young and talented. I really don’t understand why his career hasn’t blowed up yet. If Hollywood is still acting cautious towards gay actors in 2024 is such a shame
In interviews, he comes across dumb as a rock, but maybe he’s just not very articulate. But that might be the reason that he cannot do promotions of the movies well

Please link one as an example, let's see how inarticulate he is.

You kind of need a big breakout role these days to really get ahead and stand out, and a mainstream enough role too, don't think he's had that yet. Something like a Heartstopper or a Wednesday level popularity, he's not had the luck of landing that hit role just yet unfortunately.
 
didn't one of zane's friends once posted a story of them hanging out with zane saying something along the lines of being friends with zane means playing math puzzles when you hang out?
math puzzles doesn't really seem like something someone dumb as a rock does as a fun activity with friends

I still think he'd be the perfect choice to play Oliver Queen in a Green Arrow project (as long as he can play straight). And hell, maybe Apollo and Midnighter will be around the same age as Superman, so Zane could definitely still play Apollo (I always read him as being a few years younger than Midnighter anyway)

Him being publicly gay is definitely a major factor, but his body is too. He is much more wide and muscular than your average Hollywood star, so that will limit the roles he's considered for.

Yeah for sure he needs that big breakout, the point is why he hasn’t had that yet

I’m not sure about that. So many leading actors have the same great body and that actually is a big plus, not a problem. Think of Henry Cavill, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Chris Pratt. The “beefcake” has been around for ages and that’s big part of how Hollywood works

Except all of them were the main leads in big franchise movies, for which Zane would never be considered for because he is gay and those other men are not (at least publicly). The beefcake stereotype exists mostly to swoon female audiences. And in the minds of Hollywood execs, women would not swoon over someone they know is gay, so all those straight beefcake roles are unavailable for Zane, which leaves him little else to work with.

Yeah but it’s ridiculous in 2024 gay men cannot play male leading parts yet. We live in an over “pc” world where actors don’t get chosen because of talent anymore, but because they’re social cases. And when an actor has all the right cards to have a successful career he gets discarded because of his homosexuality. Again it’s 2024,, what’s even straight or gay anymore?
