Who Should Play Patrick Bateman in the New ‘American Psycho’ From Luca Guadagnino?
Variety selects twelve actors who could take on the role of Patrick Bateman in Luca Guadagnino's new "American Psycho."
While Patrick’s privilege as a rich, white man in the 1980s is essential to him facing no consequences for a killing spree in the original film, Guadagnino has the opportunity to bring Bateman into today’s world by taking a new approach to the character. The actor has primarily worked in the drama space, but he flexed some slapstick comedy chops for the first time in Mel Brooks’ 2023 series “History of the World, Part II,” which could come in handy for Bateman’s deranged morning routine. Given her “The Substance” character’s fixation with looking perfect, it’s almost too easy to picture Qualley methodically peeling off an herb mint facial mask in front of the mirror as her piercing eyes bore into the camera.
