He is, though. Aside from the live action BatB, his most recognizable film role is in the Fast & Furious franchise as Jason Statham's brother."
He isn't though. The last F&F movie that he wasn't just a cameo in was in 2013.

A Frank who scares or intimidates the audience away from participating or having fun might work for some kind of another (god forbid) film remake but in person that can’t work with what this show has become."
Frank is transgressive to Brad and Janet, and an amoral psycho, but to the audience, he is Warhol. He is the ultimate party host building an atmosphere that is dangerous to the squares... but the audience should never primarily empathize with Brad and Janet.
Are Brad and Janet MAGA?
I think it's more that Brad and Janet are the fifties, crash-landing into the hedonism and liberation of the sixties, which chewed a lot of people up and spat them out before crashing into the more alienated and cynical seventies.

I definitely could see Luke Evans doing well as Frank. (I also agree Austin Butler as Rocky would be great... but unlikely). I really think Corbin Bleu will be Brad.

I really doubt Chalamet was ever seriously in the mix for this.
Now that I’ve thought about it more, I really do wish it was Bailey. He loves being on stage and has spoken at length about his love of Oh Mary. I’m keeping hope alive until it’s announced. Then I can deal with the disappointment. 🤣
No idea who to cast as Frank but here’s my pitch for the rest.
Janet- Gracie Lawrence
Brad- Casey Likes
Columbia- Miley Cyrus (with the 2000 Joan Jett keys)
Riff Raff- Mike Wartella
Magenta- Talia Suskauer or Jasmine Amy Rogers
Narrator- Ginger Minj
Rocky- Sydney James Harcourt
Eddie/Dr. Scott- Alan H. Green or Alex Brightman

Okay, Jasmine Amy Rogers as Magenta is brilliant
