The Phantom Stranger is a character that I really hope shows up on screen in the new DCU. I can see him showing up as a supporting character in multiple films. It would be a great role for an actor to have fun with, but who best to cast?

Who indeed! Scott Bakula? Right for the part. great mystery for the Stranger to make a mistake like that!
Cast somebody who will accept having their face not clearly visible...
Well, Keanu Reeves isn't tall enough (plus I'm old enough to still too clearly remember his semi-lackluster turn as Constantine). Johnny Depp I think would be more fitting as Morpheus of the Endless. So, my top three candidates that I favor wearing the blue cloak with matching fedora, white turtleneck, and Mr. T necklace? Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, or Henry Cavill. BBT is suitably creepy (I still can't stomach watching "Slingblade" to this day). Jon Hamm proved, during his MAD MEN days, that he definitely looks distinguished in such fancy duds. And, since I don't think he'll reprising Superman any time soon, maybe Henry can return to the DCEU as this supernatural stalwart.
A slimmed-down, hair-dyed Brendan Fraser might suit the outfit. But, what perplexes me even more is the setting of this image. The first thought that occurred to me is: "What is Brother Voodoo doing in Asia?" Because, even as Dr. Strange's successor as Sorcerer Supreme (in the mainstream Marvel Universe), Haiti and New Orleans are still his most frequent jurisdictions. Then, I remembered those trailers from SINNERS. So, I did some Wikipedia-surfing. Sure enough; most modern Mississippi Delta Chinese-Americans are starting to emigrate to big cities of the Deep South! So, this could most likely be occurring in the Chinatown of Jackson, Mississippi or Atlanta, Georgia (etc.).
Sorry if I made Anon825 look short-winded by comparison. ;-)
My first thought for the role (at least, this morning) was Cameron Monaghan; and I definitely could see Johnny Depp doing it; but hey, how about Paul Rudd?
I see him and Evangeline Lilly more as Dr. Occult and Rose Psychic.
Don Hamm needs to be cast in a DC movie in some capacity. The best role for him right now would be a live action Dark Knight Returns, as he's aged into it. I could see him as Phantom Stranger though.
I think Cameron Monaghan would be better cast as Dr. Thirteen. Especially with black-rimmed spectacles!
P.S.----I think Thornton would be even more suitably creepy as Mister E.
Dennis Haysbert certainly has the gravitas for the role.
If you're referring to the role of Brother Voodoo, I think Tony Todd would be more convincing.
That would have been great casting, but unfortunately, Tony Todd passed away last November. Perhaps, he could be cast as a very realistic Daniel Drumm.
That'd be a fitting tribute, alright.
Gotta disagree. Bob Odenkirk would be scarier as Mr. E! Save Billy Bob for a Superman sequel where Lazarus "El Diablo" Lane meets his great-grandniece Lois! Perhaps as a result of Mr. Mxyzptlk sending her back to the Old West. That fifth-dimensional imp is certainly overdue for a live-action silver screen debut!
At first glance, I thought the youngster might be Chance Falconer from the Leave it to Chance comic from Image/DC Comics. She was the 14-year-old daughter of famed paranormal investigator Lucas Falconer and regularly battled demons, ghosts, monsters, etc etc.
I meant Phantom Stranger, but Brother Voodoo is a thought, although maybe he’s a bit old for that.
Tony Todd would have been fantastic in just about any role like that.
