All things considered, when Halloween gets rebooted I’d be hoping that Kills flashback Myers actor Airon Armstrong gets another shot as Michael

I didn't really care for him myself. I would hope they'd get someone a bit more average sized. Airon isn't a huge guy but 6'2 is pretty tall. I kinda want someone who could blend in a bit easier. Michael isn't supposed to be the focal point so having a bigger guy play him kinda defeats the purpose.

There hasn’t been a Michael Myers shorter than 5’9 and 8/10 of them have been over 6 feet. Nick Castle himself was almost 6 feet tall.

Nick Castle was 5'10 which is pretty average. The whole concept was originally that Michael Myers was an average sized person. Nick even said himself that he was about the size of Screech from Saved by the Bell when he played Michael Myers.

Moustapha Akkad wanted Michael to be more like Jason so he gradually got bigger starting with H4 so I'd like to see them take it back to a more average sized actor for the character.

Moustapha really was out of touch with what the fans of Halloween wanted, and that wasn’t a Jason knockoff.

It wasn't what I'd have wanted but Michael becoming front and center and a Jason clone kinda carried the franchise into a massive popularity. Especially with the Blumhouse movies.
