- Garrett Hedlund, Mojave, 2015. Clarke was in, then out of the scenario by director William Monahan – who also adapted The Departed, 2006, which also featured Mark Wahlberg. No Oscar nomination this time.
- Joel Kinnaman, Suicide Squad, 2015. First, Tom Hardy, then Clarke, Jon Bernthal, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joel Edgerton and Karl Urban- lotsa comings and goings for Rick Flagg Jr in DC’s Dirty Dozen, a black ops force of supervillains, forced, blackmailed or offered deals to work for the US government. Hardy preferred Venom; Urban almost became Aquaman’s first villain.
