2019 Halloween costume ideas for men from film and TV...

If you're struggling for Halloween costume inspiration this year, then maybe these ten men's costumes from exhibits from the world of film and television from the past twelve months will help to spark some ideas. Will you be inspired by the worlds of magic, superheroes or music this Halloween?

Aladdin's Genie
Will Smith Aladdin Genie costume
If you were looking to have some magical fun this Halloween, then maybe the 'Genie' costume worn by Will Smith in Disney's live-action remake of Aladdin will satisfy your wish.

Aladdin's Jafar
Marwen Kenzari Aladdin Jafar film costume
However if you desired something a little bit more sinister, then maybe Marwen Kenzari's 'Jafar' costume will be more to your liking (especially as it comes with a cool snake staff to hypnotise your enemies).

Michael Wilkinson was the Costume Designer responsible for both of these looks, translating the 1992 animated classic onto cinema screens for a whole new generation.
Grindelwald
Johnny Depp Fantastic Beasts 2 Grindelwald movie costume
And if spooky wizards and warlocks were your thing this haunting season, then maybe Johnny Depp's 'Grindelwald' costume from The Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will satisfy your dark arts demands.

Costume Designer Colleen Atwood was responsible for this villainous look in the Harry Potter prequel picture.
Ronin
Jeremy Renner Avengers Endgame Ronin costume
If you were aiming for something a little more heroic this witching season, but still with an edge, then maybe Jeremy Renner's 'Ronin' costume from Avengers: Endgame will hit the bullseye.

Judianna Makovsky was the Costume Designer for giving the Avengers 'Hawkeye' an edgier look based on his Marvel comic book inspiration.

Mary Poppins Returns Jack
Lin-Manuel Miranda Mary Poppins Returns Jack costume
If you want a far more chipper wardrobe this Halloween, then maybe Lin Manuel-Miranda's 'Jack' costume from Mary Poppins Returns is the colourful costume you are looking for.

And if this 2D painted Royal Doulton Bowl outfit designed by Sandy Powell isn't for you, then maybe Jack's lamplighter costume from the movie sequel is more up your alley.

Freddie Mercury
Rami Malek Bohemian Rhapsody Freddie Mercury costume
This Halloween if you really want to lord it over your fellow revelers, then maybe channeling Freddie Mercury from Queen is the look you're searching for.

Make sure you also check out these other fab Freddie Mercury costumes worn by Oscar-winner Rami Malek in the biopic, designed by Julian Day, for more iconic inspiration.

Elton John
Taron Egerton Rocketman Elton John movie costume
And speaking of Costume Designer Julian Day, he was also responsible for crafting the glam rock looks of Taron Egerton as Elton John in the revelatory movie musical, Rocketman.

Shiver
Shiver costume Nutcracker Four Realms
If you wanted to give your friends the chills this Halloween season, then maybe you can draw some inspiration from Richard E. Grant's 'Shiver' movie costume from The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

Jenny Beavan was Costume Designer on this Disney fantasy adventure and she was also responsible for these outlandish Oscar-winning Mad Max: Fury Road film costumes.
Joker
Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie costume
Some iconic characters can last the test of time, and this Halloween I think more than a few people will be channeling Joaquin Phoenix's new take on 'Batman's' arch-nemesis, the 'Joker'.

And if you like this clownish outfit designed by Mark Bridges, then make sure you take a closer look at these Joker movie costumes worn by the likes of Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Jared Leto too.

Umbrella Academy's Number Five

And finally for this collection of ten costume ideas, if you still have boyish good looks and charm, maybe Aiden Gallagher's 'Number Five' costume from The Umbrella Academy will suit your time-traveling needs.

Christopher Hargadon was Costume Designer on Netflix's televisual comic book adaptation.

So what do you think, did you find something to inspire you this year? If not, maybe these men's Halloween costume ideas from last year will help too.

Otherwise be sure to peruse the rest of the costume ideas from the small and big screen to be found on this blog.
