My Take
D. J. Cotrona has a career arc I genuinely enjoy. He brawled his way through G.I. Joe: Retaliation, then took on Seth Gecko in the From Dusk Till Dawn series, and stepping into a role Tarantino once owned takes real nerve. He also played Pedro's superhero form in Shazam! and dutifully returned for the sequel, which speaks to his reliability. His Northeastern University background hints at a thoughtful streak beneath the action-hero exterior. He's less a flashy leading man than a sturdy, committed actor who simply devours whatever part he's handed, and that's precisely why I've come to admire him.
