Name
He is the first character to go through so many renamings. First he was called Dr. Dangerous, but then Anthony Devera wanted him to look good on the outside but bad on the inside, so he was renamed Jurgen. However, Jurgen sounded too much like a villain name, so Mr. Monks was chosen next. However, Mr. Monks makes a reference to the TV show Monk, so he was again renamed Mr. Carter. However, Mr. Carter is an album by Lil Wayne, so a new name was needed. The name Julian Hopper was to be used in a different VCS film, but after that project was cancelled, the name Julian Hopper became free. Julian Hopper will be the final name of this character.

Actor
Robert Mikes was originally going to play Julian Hopper. During pre-production, director Anthony Devera noticed that Mikes did not cooperate well with Brandon Latherow, the actor playing Aid Lagarde. Also, Mikes seemed to be busy on many of the film session days, so producer Nicholas Merchant fired him from the film, a decision that Devera was very much against. Merchant wanted to replace Robert Mikes with Rhys Lewis, known for starring in many of Merchant's films, but Devera thought that Lewis would not be good because Lewis was shorter than Latherow. Some people have shown interest in playing Julian Hopper.

In December 2014, Quinn Davis, the actor who originally was to play Byron Titus, was instead given the role of Julian Hopper, and Byron Titus was replaced with Edwin Koffman.
