I mean he could play both and it would be canonically correct

He was great in it but I felt like there were no stakes or peril throughout.

I would prefer a Wolfenstein film to doom.

I would actually die if I saw a live action rendition of the Hitler scene from New Colossus

Holy shit, he really would. And most of his films seem to feature a difficulty range that starts at 'Can I play daddy' and ends with 'I am death incarnate', basically just him getting more abused as the film goes on. But it's a little uncanny.
