He would have been the perfect choice for Ares, God of War some years back...but now? He's more suited to Zeus. Even though the The God of War is "older" in the sense that he also romanced Wonder Woman's mother too, because he's a god, he doesn't age - he needs to come across as young, vital, and full of energy that is palatable. With WW who has been cast quite young, he needs to have an automatic chemistry. And as much as I hate to admit this, Sean's just a teeny weensy bit too old to pull that off now without coming across a tad creepy. I know he's a great actor and he could make it work if they didn't cast WW so young...but it's Hollywood and youth rules. Just think, we were all creeped out by the April Summers "thing"...this would be the same if not worse only because we would see it on the big screen and I think it would be box office catastrophe. JMHO.
