Christian Bale has decided not to play the iconic figurehead of Apple, Steve Jobs, in another movie about the unique mogul’s life. While I was interested in what Bale would pull out of his bag of tricks to portray the late CEO, there are a few actors I think should be in the running to replace him.

5. Jason Schwartzman

If Wes Anderson were to direct this project, then Jason Schwartzman would be the perfect choice for Steve Jobs. Mannerisms and acting aside, he bears a striking resemblance to Jobs in his late 20s and early 30s. I think Anderson would make this one of the most highly anticipated biopics of 2015.

4. Corey Stoll

Corey Stoll’s career is on fire right now. His masculine bravado and chameleon-like acting abilities would make for an intriguing portrayal of Jobs. And I didn’t just pick him for his baldness. Have you seen the man on House of Cards/The Strain/Midnight in Paris? He’s frickin’ electric.

3. Ethan Hawke

Now, Ethan Hawke may seem like a controversial pick to play the late Jobs, but if you look at his filmography, you’ll see that the man has range—and has very rarely misstepped. His calm intensity could serve the role in ways we hadn’t imagined.

2. Tom Hiddleston

A relative newcomer to the American cinemascape, Tom Hiddleston is known for his portrayal of Loki, the rambunctious evil brother of the beefcake Thor. But Hiddleston possesses much more than the role of Loki showcases.

His turn as a vampire lover to Tilda Swinton in Only Lovers Left Alive suggests that Hiddleston is harboring a deep darkness that needs further exploration. Perhaps, playing Jobs would allow us to see another layer of his acting skills.

1. Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender. What can I say? I have been a fan of Fassy since I first saw him in The Hunger. His ability to take on a role like Brandon from Shame or The Counselor and reveal a hidden darkness, strength, and desperation without resorting to a hammy performance makes him one of my favorite actors to watch.

He is unpredictable, charming, and slightly menacing. I would like to petition for him and Steve R. McQueen to take this biopic and make it legendary.

Who do you think could play Steve Jobs?
