@Dell actually your description of him as "very compact, heavy looking, even curvy" is in accord with Kibbé typology, as it's also the description of soft natural, which is one of the shorter types. Isaac is a soft natural for sure.
He gets 5'7½ from me as well.

I always thought he was like 5’11, but 5’7.5 seems accurate.

at times in Moon Knight he can look near 4 inches under ethan hawke, though I think isaac's posture in that is deliberately poor.

@SnakePlissken Solid Snake is canonically 182cm (180cm in MGS4), but even if Isaac was the correct height I still wouldn’t buy him as Snake. Also, what’s your source that he always goes up against taller threats? The only villain he fights whose height really matters is Raven.

Definitely somewhere between 171-172 in the afternoon. He's on the smaller side when it comes to "Hollywood" standards, but he's definitely in the average range when it comes to Latin America. Rob, Oscar Isaac should get added into the Marvel Universe category since he is playing Moon Knight.

@Eric W Tam do you actually know anything about Metal Gear? Have you ever heard Kojima speak about it? Hideo Kojima claimed 5'9 and said with boots on he's 5'10, so he wanted Solid Snake to be his height. It's said in the Metal Gear book and trivia that Solid Snake is 5'10 (177 cm). Where are you getting 181 cm from? which book/game manual? or are you looking at google opinions?
I have no issue with Oscar Isaac playing Solid Snake. He's around 172 cm, and with boots on around 174. Very believable to have taller threats, as that's what Solid Snake always came up against. If you took someone at 6'0 it'd be really hard to get taller actors to look imposing like a game can show off, so this is perfect. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm a Metal Gear fanatic, my room is filled with this stuff and I've played it continuously my entire life. Snake is 177cm.
Remember, he's based on Snake Plissken played by Kurt Russell (175cm) and we know how perfect those movies were, and how much we'd love to see him as Solid Snake Snake.

I think Isaac is a solid actor and he'll make a good Snake if he's given decent material to work with. I'm not troubled about his somehow short height overall taking into account that in the mid 00's there were rumors about a Metal Gear movie starring Tom Cruise as Snake and most people were ok with this, even when he's only about 1,72.

And it's confirmed, this 171 cm lad is gonna play 182 cm Solid Snake. Yikes, they are probably gonna make him look way taller though. In that case whoever the actor for Liquid is gonna be wouldn't have to be 172 cm to compensate for the actual difference between Solid/Liquid, despite both Solid/Liquid being over 10 cm taller then their respective potential actors.

With such a natural and dramatic face one would think he's between 1.75-1-78, but nope! he's short, not excesively short but still, that's why i dont trust the kibbe typology and correlation of face and body. Hes's very compact and looks heavy, even...curvy? for someone his height one would expect a much more gamine and taut aspect, idk, like cillian murphy maybe, who looks slim and delicate. As someone mentioned, he does have an imposing aura. Have you seen him in ''a most violent year'', he looks cold and tall but then he stands by jessica chastain and oop. not so tall anymore. Interesting look overall, he's one of my fav actors ever. always looks good and never dissapoints

Isaac has an interesting profile with a prominent nose so that he can convincingly pass as characters of perhaps Middle Eastern or Sephardic Jewish heritage, which is pretty distinct from Ashkenazi Jewish like myself. I think he can seem just 5'7" but still can have a commanding presence if a role calls for it.

Just a bit over 5'7". That's not tall but not short either. That's global average. Except Scandinavian countries entire world population averages out a bit above or below 5'7". He's a handsome guy and without a doubt a very good actor.

Height is not a question of "superiority" or "inferiority." Just as skin color had advantages and disadvantages for our ancestors' climates and regions, height can be an advantage/disadvantage depending on what people encounter. Nutrition does have an impact, as well as womb conditions before birth, but none of it indicates whether a person is "superior" to another. For example, someone incredibly tall might have a genetic condition that causes discomfort throughout life.
That being said, my guess for Oscar Isaac is a little less than 5'8", but it doesn't hurt his looks at all.

LOL. Northern Europeans are also Missing a few key factors to be considered Superior. 1. Charisma, 2. Actually any sort of Personality.
If you mean by race alone, tons of White Americans are of Northern European Descent, except thankfully have evolved to have personalities. And No Offense, you guys are getting steamrolled by Middle Eastern Radicals lately. You should not be bragging my Hitler Wannabe Friend. Also in case you have not heard, American has the strongest Military in the world so your Genetics actually do not count anymore :)

I thought he was taller but Boyega has almost two inches on him. I would say no more than 5'7, same as Tom Cruise. He's a handsome guy, so he has a presence on screen, but he's rather on the short side.

@Quoter
I disagree with Realist's milk theory, but you're not 100% correct either. Sure, countries with better nutrition and healthcare are taller, but it's not all about malnutrition either. Countries that eat a lot of animal products are taller compared to mostly plant-based countries. This is why northern Europeans are tall, they eat a lot of dairy and meat.

@Realist can you stop with your bro science. It's embarrassing. There is no magical enzyme in milk meaning that if you had lived in America you would be nearly 4" taller. It's genetics. Simple as that. Your personal experience with your family members height is utterly irrelevant as so many possible heights happen across families brought up in the same household. Yes diet can affect height but only if you are malnourished, nothing to do with magical American milk.

@HonestSlovene A lot is to do with Nutrition and food in the west. The milk has a lot of enzyms, so typically a guy like me 5'7.75 would be 5'11 in the west. My relatives, my age there are 6'0-6'1 despite having similar genes. Also in countries like India, in a big town 5'7.75 is slowly becoming the lower average among the middle class, wher about 5'9.5 is the average whereas in rural areas average is like 5'3.5 or so due to malnutrition. As for Oscar 5'7.5-.75 is the range we are looking at.

Isaac is kind of a shorty, this is true, but nevertheless athletically gifted. Nobody else in the movies, including Tom Cruise, can run like this man. Check him out in the movie Sucker Punch. Also, he does an amazing falling leap from a tree in The Bourne Legacy.
The ability to run well is how I judge athleticism, and a lot of action movei actors run poorly. Arnold Schwarzenegger runs like a very old elephant. Clint Eastwood and Steven Seagal are both knock-kneed, and run like storks. On the other hand, Daniel Craig runs very well, and Steve McQueen could really scoot.

@Richard. I agree with you...I was surprised by the casting choice. I am about as tall as Oscar, and there's no way I would have been comfortable trying to be as big as a character Apocalypse should have been. When I was thinking about a good actor of reasonable size and "look" for the role, I was thinking Arnold Vosloo from the Mummy franchise. Oh well, hopefully your faith in comic book movies is restored some day.

I saw him in the new X-men movie, I was kind of shocked out of all the actors possible to portray Apocalypse, he was chosen to play the most powerful mutant, Isaac is a short man, and not very muscular. I was thinking he would merely provide the voice of a CGI character, I was even more shocked to discover that he would literally portray the character in costume and makeup, he looked nothing like the comic book character, like many classic X-men characters, one of the most popular X-men characters was altered for the big screen. Very disappointing considering that it costed millions to make this movie, almost as much as Batman v Superman. I think I am forever done with comic book films.

He looked 5'11" in x men apocalypse, but those boots were quite huge(about 4") so 5'7" sounds about right

That may be it. Oscar has really odd proportions, whereas Mark Ruffalo has excellent proportions.

Rob: Why is it that Oscar seems to look 'short' in almost everything he's in while Mark Ruffalo, who is of similar height, often manages to look average-sized on screen? Do their respective personas have something to do with it? Oscar often seems to get cast in Napoleon Complex-type roles (e.g. Ex Machina, Drive).

Editor Rob at times in Ex Machina I thought actually he could look 5ft 8...but maybe his head and body at times just gives off a smaller impression.

No way is he close to 5'8. He looked bonafide 'short' in Ex Machina. 5'6 and change I'd say. Legit 5'8 men do not look 'short' next to people that are 6'0/6'1 like Gleeson.

Rob, how tall do you think the Coen Bros. are? Joel's listed as being 6'0 in most places, and he looks that range. Ethan's usually listed as 5'8, but he actually looks a bit shorter than Oscar Isaac, like 5'6.5-5'7. What do you think? In either case, Joel looks about five inches taller.

Editor Rob he could be 5ft 7 and brother 5ft 11.5 range

intresting claim he made in a gq magazine recently:
"I never thought of myself as an ethnic actor,” he adds. “I don't feel comfortable saying I speak for Guatemalans. Or for Latin men. Or for Latin men that are five nine.…”
Rob are you still going with the 5'7.5 in or do you believe him?

Editor Rob he can at times look 5ft 8, but 5ft 9 I think would be a bit high.

Ron, my guess would be that he tops out at 160lbs. He does have a medium build and I don't see him bigger than that weight. As far as his height goes, I saw another website had him at 5'11.5." Are you kidding me! He never looked more than 5'8" 160 - 165lbs to me.

Could you add The Bourne Legacy, A Most Violent Year, Ex Machina and Show Me a Hero to his credits?

5'7.5"? He didn't look 5.5" inches shorter than Domhnall Gleeson (who you have listed as 6'1").

He is leaning a tad and James does have hair advantage though.

@Rob Check out this with James Corden.
Click Here Looks taller or Isaac is shorter. That's more than half an inch.

Actually when I googled him I got 5'9, therefore this height is incorrect

Editor Rob if you googled corey feldman's height and saw 5ft 8.5 and looked at His page here you'd say that's incorrect, that he is half inch taller than you :)

Barefoot with Domhnall Gleeson in shoes in Ex-Machina this guy is dwarfed by him, 5'7" range seems right.

Google is so wrong. They give this guy 1,74 like Antonio Banderas, while he actually havea about 1,70 m. Perhaps Google wants to make feel better short men.

Oscar Isaac's height is 5ft 7.5in 171 cm.
Maybe a strong 170cm and a weak 171cm

They made him look more than 3/4 of an inch shorter than Jeremy Renner in The Bourne Legacy, may have been a case of "heroic" camera angles in favor of Renner plus most shots were outside so possible uneven terrain.

Rob, no arguments here 171-172 is spot on. But you must agree about one thing in most events his footwear is very humble, so i think he is not below 171 at night. Least about 170.8.The pic of the premiere u hve got, he looks head to head with Carey Mulligan cause he has got some heels. But usually she looks taller as he wears flats. Mark Ruffalo is another guy who has very humble footwear.

Yeah, I think this is accurate...Isaac was towered by William Hurt and just about by John Goodman. It makes me feel the Coens are a little shorter than I thought, since Isaac is similar or a bit more than Ethan, so I'd guess Ethan 5'7" and Joel 5'11". Also, supporting that is that 5'11.25" Javier Bardem in his Anton Chigurh boots seemed taller than Joel and Joel was not that much over 5'10" Billy Bob Thornton either.

@Editor Rob: Given that DiCaprio is 5'11, this listing is spot on imo.
But if DiCaprio's staying put at 5'11.5, Isaac should be getting away with 5'8: Click Here

If he was 5'8.5 he would be taller the Carey Mulligan even with her in heels.
