Cast the Spider-Man Reboot

[Majik1387]

Fichtner is better suited to Lizard

[LegendaryCaleb]

I always wanted William as Mysterio...that voice would be great behind the bowl mask but I could see him as Connors...I just think Fichtner deserves another big movie role!

[sabetoonth]

I actually like Ultimate Mysterio better, cuz he dont wear a fishbowl, his head IS ****ing fire! and he is an actual threat

so visually and to a point, characterization wise, I'd like to see that version of Beck

[NotSoLongAgo]

I'd actually just rather see a re-imagining of his costume like put in an appropriate-looking suit and make the fishbowl more head-shaped and smaller.

Anyone like Michael Sheen for Mysterio?

Actually now that I think about it, how great would an Andy Serkis Norman O. Be?

[Doctor Jones]

What the hell is it with Fitchner as Mysterio? He has no special presence about him.

[sabetoonth]

Me either, every time I watch TDK i forget he even exists until i read his name again or see him

[LegendaryCaleb]

What the hell is it with Fitchner as Mysterio? He has no special presence about him.
In Prison Break season 2 he was one creepy guy..Had alot of good screen presence about him!

[Majik1387]

What the hell is it with Fitchner as Mysterio? He has no special presence about him.
Because he's an awesome actor. :huh:
I personally don't see him as Mysterio though
Me either, every time I watch TDK i forget he even exists until i read his name again or see him
That's because his scene is 5 minutes at best. :huh:

[Nimibro]

hmm, i'd cast either Christopher Eccleston or Crispin Glover as Ult./616 Mysterio. something like a roman armor/uptaded version of the 616 suit, and ult. mysterio's head with a superimposed face. but Fitchner could rock as either norman or connors...

[Doctor Jones]

I haven't seen Prison Break and forgot he was even in it. I just remember him in the opening of TDK and in Heat. Maybe I just can't see him working as Mysterio,

[Majik1387]

I didn't say anything about Prison Break... And I even said I didn't see him as Mysterio.

[Spider-Man '92]

hmm, i'd cast either Christopher Eccleston or Crispin Glover as Ult./616 Mysterio. something like a roman armor/uptaded version of the 616 suit, and ult. mysterio's head with a superimposed face. but Fitchner could rock as either norman or connors...
Oh man, to see Crispin Glover as a villain would get a thumbs up from me automatically! That guy needs to be in more movies.

[QWoods]

Majik when can we see those manips thats in your avatar??? Enchantress, Viper, Hawkeye, Ms.Marvel.......

[Majik1387]

When they're all ready. :cwink:

[I'm Venom]

Will you please make me a Jensen/Venom manip?

[Majik1387]

Maybe. Each time I try making Spidey-related manips, I just lose interest. :csad:

[Gamma Goliath]

Ackles for venom is perfect casting imo.

[I'm Venom]

Ackles for venom is perfect casting imo.

Ackles would be great! He'd need to bulk up, but he could pull it off.

[Young Superman]

How about Jon Hamm as Norman Osborn in the reboot?
http://www.observer.com/files/full/jon%20hamm.jpg

[Gamma Goliath]

As long as he ain't superman.

[Ajendo]

Hamm as Osborn? No.

Hamm IS Superman.

I'd rather see Hamm put on a British accent and become Bond than see him in a spidey movie.....and for me to say that with conviction means a lot.

[Gamma Goliath]

I'd rather see him play punisher.

[Majik1387]

I'd rather see him play punisher.
:wow:
That's genius.:awesome:

[Gamma Goliath]

:wow:
That's genius.:awesome:

Yeah...I know. Lol jk jk

Well, since marvel has the rights back I think a john Hamm punisher would be great.

[Majik1387]

I've always seen him more as a good boy hero, but can definitely see him as the Punisher.

[Young Superman]

Well, since marvel has the rights back I think a john Hamm punisher would be great.

Agreed, but I also think he could make a good Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards).

[I'm Venom]

Just thought I'd ask again, but can somebody do a Jensen Ackles Venom manip?

[Young Superman]

Who do you guys think should play Norman Osborn in the reboot?

[Doctor Jones]

Either:

Jon Hamm

Jason Isaacs

Hugo Weaving

[JP]

Now that Easy A is a critical and commercial hit, I wonder how long before Stone is announced to be the new MJ.

[Spider-Fan83]

I am sure her name will come up for fan casting.... more then it already does... and there will he prehap rumors about her being up for the role... but, hasn't already been said that there will be no MJ

[LegendaryCaleb]

Who do you guys think should play Norman Osborn in the reboot?

Jason isaacs hands down!

[JP]

I am sure her name will come up for fan casting.... more then it already does... and there will he prehap rumors about her being up for the role... but, hasn't already been said that there will be no MJ

[Ken-Kaniff]

Jason isaacs hands down!
I have to say it would be a great choice!

[Ajendo]

Either:

Jon Hamm

Jason Isaacs

Hugo Weaving

Weaving is the red skull, mate.

[Oscorp]

Jason Isaacs would be an awesome Osborn indeed

[Spider-Man '92]

I never thought of Isaacs. He'd definitly pull off the look well, but I wonder how outgoing he would be for the Green Goblin.

[Ken-Kaniff]

And it would be really great imo if Jensen Ackles would get the Eddie Brock role!

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/8803/jensenackles08.jpg

[Oscorp]

Haven't seen him in any movie but he definitely has the looks of an Eddie Brock.

[Ken-Kaniff]

I've been watching Supernatural since the beginning (TV Show) and I'm telling you he can also pull it off imo, he can do the job.

[Young Superman]

Who should play Aunt May in the reboot?

[Silvermoth]

Stan Lee in drag

[JP]

Now that Easy A is a critical and commercial hit, I wonder how long before Stone is announced to be the new MJ.

She apparently read for the role. :awesome:

he can play crazy evil...the patriot showed me that
hes got the look..and hes a brilliant actor

Yeah he was great in the patriot, and the harry potter films.

[rcazzy]

I know some of you folk don't venture into the manips thread, but I'd share my vision of Isaacs as Osborn and Goblin in here seeing as it's such a popular choice. I'd love to see it too.

I really dig Isaacs and Eckles for Osborn and Brock; both solid choices. Both spectacular villains and great actors to portray them.

perfect casting

[FVD]

Jason Isaacs and Jensen Ackles as Osborn and Brock respectively are absolutely fine casting choices. SPOT ON!!!

Now if Carnage were to ever appear in a film (which I hope won't be anytime soon) I say give Walton Goggins a call. Actually now that I think about it that fake name he gave to that Armenian on The Shield Cletus Van Dam, was merely coincidence! It just got me thinking when I saw him in Predators last night.

http://download-the-shield-episodes.edogo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/walton_goggins_the_shield_image__3_.jpg

[Doctor Who]

^Hey, not bad!!!!! I actually considering Sharlto Copley for Carnage however; in fact, I don't think he'd be too bad of a Norman Osborn either, if I do say so myself. Either/or though. :word:

http://www.goremasternews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Sharlto-Copley.jpg

[NotSoLongAgo]

I think Daniel Day-Lewis would be absolutely perfect, oerfect looks and acting skill. I used to want Jason Isaacs but idk give me some Hugh Laurie, Jon Hamm, Andy Serkis, Bryan Cranston.

Heh, Hamm actually looks like Norman :up:

[FVD]

Damn Jon Hamm really does look like he would make a great Lex Luthor (yes I know wrong thread). :p

Still like the Norman Osborn Jason Isaacs choice though!

And I'd say either Malcolm MacDowell or Jon Voight for Adrian Toomes and Stanley Tucci for Doc Ock! Actually how about Voight for George Stacy?

[Dark Raven]

Stanley Tucci isn't fat or large enough for Doc Ock.

[Majik1387]

Tucci is already a Marvel character

[Alex_Spider]

Jason Isaacs has to play Norman for sure. I don't know why i had never thought of him, but he has something in his eyes. He could play psycotic easily.

He's Dr. Abraham Erskine in the upcoming Captain America

[Doctor Who]

I believe he's already casted for Captain America at this point; however, I don't care who disagrees, but Tucci is my ideal envision for Mr. Freeze, if Batman goes that direction. Or I'll just push him to my standard, either way. :oldrazz:

How about Joseph Gordon-Levitt (would want him for Harry Osborne as well, but I think he's too old at this stage) as Quentin Beck/Mysterio?

Jon Hamm as Norman Osborn is some great casting right there. Hope they go that route.

The good part about waiting is that we may get a lot of announcements.

i would absolutely jump for joy if they entire supporting cast is announced (MJ, Gwen, Harry)

[Pac-Master]

I was looking through the NYCC schedule, and found this:Note to Spider-Man IV Movie People: Be True to Your Parker!

Past Spider-Man writers and editors Danny Fingeroth (Superman on the Couch), Tom DeFalco (POW! Entertainment), and Fred Van Lente (Marvel, Evil Twin Comics), and psychologist Robin Rosenberg (Psychology of Superheroes) discuss their wish lists of aspects of Peter Parker's character and origin story that they'd like to keep the same and things they'd change for the upcoming film reboot of Spider-Man.
http://nycc_nyaf10.mapyourshow.com/3_0/sessions/sessiondetails.cfm?ScheduledSessionID=1040

I don't think anything major will happen during this panel, but I thought I'd point it out.

[Young Superman]

My Spider-Man big three are.

Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker / Spider-Man:

[Alex The Great]

Replace Cassidy with Poots and I'll love you for the rest of your life

[Young Superman]

Poots would rock as Gwen.

[Saints86]

I love the character Gwen Stacy and think these 2 actresses would be perfect.

Imogen Poots

http://media.wwd.com/images/processed/wwd/2010/05/17/portrait/02-tout/imogen-poots1.jpg

Dianna Agron

http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w157/littlekellyann/random%20photos/posts/ertefetet.jpg


Mary Jane is tougher. They ruined it, imo, with Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. Looking at the choices right now, I do think Emma Stone might be right for the role.

[Doctor Who]

Ackles is still my #1 choice for Brock, but Wentworth Miller wouldn't be too bad for the role either, if you saw him on the episode Unstable in Law and Order: SVU.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t6QUeCEttlA/Sl2zSjHgzrI/AAAAAAAAB58/NNs_4jeOxOQ/s400/wentworth+miller+svu+set+2+july+14.jpg

Indeed. Hell, Sony could flip a coin to decide which of the two gets it and I'd be okay with it. They both could be fantastic as Gwen

[flickchick85]

Yeah, but we haven't heard anything about Poots still being in the running, have we? I'm pretty sure she's now just fan-casting, unfortunately. So my vote from the actual candidates in consideration goes to Agron.

[OptimusPrime114]

Nobody seems bothered by the fact Agron's a Gleek.

Not that I have anything against Glee. I love Glee.

It's just fanboys would usually have problems when actors from "teenybopper" projects are considered for comic book roles.

Too bad Prison Break didn't really managed to get him more roles, I would love to see him in more movies! I think he's quite a good actor.

As for Brock, I never thought about him being in the role, but who knows, maybe it would be a good choice after all!

[Young Superman]

How about Sara Paxton as Gwen Stacy?

Nah, I don't think Glee is on the same level as Twilight, Hannah Montana, or Gossip Girl. Glee is a very popular, critically claimed, and Emmy nominated show on a real network.

[louiebling$]

Yea I don't think I've seen anyone knock anyone cuz they are from GLEE if anything I've seenmore support for actors/Actress from GLEE if anything


Sadly I have had the chance to jump on the GLEE bandwagon...I missed all of season 1 and this season thus far and don't have the time to play catch up... but ive watched some episodes hlf wy through and it was entertaining..... anywho back to SM

Iremeber Agron from Heroes season 2

What? Glee is an Reward winning show on a real network! They're not pesky Teenboppers, they're actual Actor/Singers who've performed on Broadway! (I think a few of them have)

[Nimibro]

^ which is exactly what optimusprime114 said. but argon would rock as stacy. or liz allan if they use her 616 looks, or even use her. ro sally avrill.

[Majik1387]

So Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy? Interesting.

[Doctor Jones]

And commence all the "WTF?!!'s"

[HighFivingMF]

Did I read the headlines wrong or did the reports from a week back say she was offered Mary-Jane?

[©KAW]

The report wasn't from Sony.

[Doctor Who]

Question: Who do you think looks and would seem more like father and son like Norman and Harry?

Jason Isaacs & Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

I think the Osborns will play less of a role in the first movie, but will be there, and will become more prominant in later movies.

[rcazzy]

I think the Osborns will play less of a role in the first movie, but will be there, and will become more prominant in later movies.

This is what I hope too. I just hope that if they cast Norman, that the same actor stays, or, if they can't do that, just don't show him except in the background at some distance. Let him have some element of the story too, however basic (such as Harry mentioning the work Oscorp does).

[chaseter]

I think the Osborns will play less of a role in the first movie, but will be there, and will become more prominant in later movies.

Most everyone's complaints about Norman/Green Goblin was that he was under developed. If they are not going to repeat that, then Norman needs to be in the first movie and not in just one scene. He needs to be prominent from the get go.

[Gamma Goliath]

[Majik1387]

Not gonna lie, Nicholson as JJJ would be amazeballs.:up:

[Doctor Jones]

He's not my first choice, but he'd have to lose the weight. But he's Jack Nicholson so...

Eh, I don't know. You don't need Nicholson. Glover as Robbie I could get down on.

[Doctor Jones]

Goddamn, Jenkins as Jameson? I could definitely get into that! That's a very cool choice.

Fiennes as Osborne is another great one. So is Bell.

[GoldGoblin]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Harry.

[Majik1387]

He's too old for Harry and looks it. Same for Jamie Bell.

[ModestMr.Green]

He's too old for Harry and looks it. Same for Jamie Bell.

He's two years older than Garfield, who is also playing a high school student. It could work.

[Majik1387]

Garfield doesn't look too old for a high schooler though.

I thought we were past this debate of actual ages of actors vs the age actors look.

[Majik1387]

Let her stick to being Broadway MJ.

[ModestMr.Green]

Garfield doesn't look too old for a high schooler though.

I thought we were past this debate of actual ages of actors vs the age actors look.

Eh, I wouldn't say he looks too old to be a senior in high school, but they could always save Harry for the sequel, if they move Peter to college by then. He didn't meet Peter until college in the comics anyway.

hahahahahaha

[Gamma Goliath]

Dennis leary as captain stacy.

[chaseter]

Garfield doesn't look too old for a high schooler though.

I thought we were past this debate of actual ages of actors vs the age actors look.
Yes he does. In no way does Garfield look 16-17. He does look young but come on...dude is 27.

[sabetoonth]

hahahahahaha
I also found that amusing

[NinjaCarm]

Tim Curry for Norman Osborn

[Doctor Jones]

Oh, God no...

He will always be the dude in Home Alone 2 to me.

[Majik1387]

Seriously, out of all his roles, it's his minor role in Home Alone 2 that sticks out to you? :dry:

[sabetoonth]

Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island

[Mako]

Pennywise the clown or The lord of darkness for me :)

[LegendaryCaleb]

Oh, God no...

He will always be the dude in Home Alone 2 to me.
that is what you remember him for? :huh:
Hes freakin Pennywise!

[Silvermoth]

I remember him as the guy Lucy Liu massaged with her feet in Charlie's Angels.

I'm not a creepy pervert or anything, it's just what I remember him for.

[JustABill]

The only person who came close to right was the one who remembered him for Pennywise.

Pennywise and Frank N Furter are what I think of when I hear ''Tim Curry."

[chaseter]

I will never forget Tim Curry in Rocky Horror.

[Frodo]

I'll throw in TV actor Mark Moses (Desperate Housewives) as Norman Osborn.

[wuzzy41123]

I think Jason Isaacs would be a perfect Norman Osborn. Jason has played
two iconic villains, Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter series and Captain Hook
from Peter Pan (2003).

Both Norman Osborn and Jason Isaacs are 5'11".
They also look identical, as shown in the links below...

First movie I ever saw with him as a little kid. Yeah, sure. It happens alot.

[I'm Venom]

With the reboot starting to film this month, it looks like Eddie Brock isn't likely to appear this time around, but whether he's in the first or second film, I'm still hoping that he'll be played by Jensen Ackles.

I'm hoping for this. Especially since he's already proved how good of a villain he can play.

[kittypryde]

Leighton Meester should be consider for Dirty rich new york girl felicia hardy/blackcat

http://img.listal.com/image/1584563/600full-my-profile.jpg

[JustABill]

No. Just no. One Gossip Girl is ruining a superhero film (Green Lantern) let's not have another doing it too.

[Majik1387]

Yea, Lively is clearly ruining Green Lantern; I mean just look at her.:whatever:


However I will agree to no Meester as Black Cat

[JustABill]

She is. Did you not see her awful delivery in the few lines she had? She can't act, that's not gonna miraculously change in the full picture.

[Majik1387]

I'm not gonna judge an actress' acting in two lines of a movie trailer.

[JustABill]

But you can judge it from every thing she's been in previously and the girl can't act. Carol Ferris isn't exactly the ground breaking role that's gonna change that. See Katie Holmes in Batman Begins, or Kate Bosworth in Superman Returns.

[Majik1387]

But you can judge it from every thing she's been in previously and the girl can't act. Carol Ferris isn't exactly the ground breaking role that's gonna change that. See Katie Holmes in Batman Begins, or Kate Bosworth in Superman Returns.
I'm guessing you haven't seen The Town?

[JustABill]

I just watched it last night. She was the only fault in the movie. :)

[hgalve]

Well if you have to cast anyone in Gossip Girl for a superhero movie Leighton Meester isn't exactly a bad choice. She's easily the most talented out of that cast and she can act circles around Blake Lively. It's quite disappointing that she hasn't gotten the same amount of work that Lively has been getting.

[JP]

I'll agree that Meester is by far the only talented person on Gossip Girl. But, she's all wrong.

And my God is Blake Lively awful.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Norman Osborn- Jason Isaacs, Ralph Fiennes, or Christoph Waltz

Harry Osborn- Anton Yelchin or Emile Hirsch

J. Jonah Jameson- Stephen Lang, R. Lee Ermey, or Clancy Brown (I have other picks on the J. Jonah Jameson forum)

C'mon, Sony, finish the casting off strong.

[ModestMr.Green]

This is Jonny Lee Miller. I'm not sure of his other acting credentials, but he played the tragically under-utilized heavy on this passing season of Dexter. In it, his character Jordan Chase showcased an ability to exude charisma, menace, and (toward the end) play some mindgames. Here he is with a Norman Osborn-esque haircut.

http://i52.tinypic.com/15ebcz4.jpg

[Gianakin_]

He's a fantastic actor, but he may be a bit too young for Norman.

[Goran]

Didn't he also play Eli Stone??

[flickchick85]

Yep, and he was also the perfect Mr. Knightley (talk about a different role from Jordan Chase!) in the recent (and awesome) adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. But these roles are all something of a career comeback for him, as I think he was much better-known in the late 90's for Trainspotting, Hackers and Plunkett & Macleane (and for being married to Angelina Jolie for a few years). He's a great actor. I agree that he's probably a bit too young for Norman, though

[Gamma Goliath]

Just throwing this one out there, Will Arnet for Norman osborn?

[Doctor Jones]

No. All I will see is the guy from Arrested Development.

[HighFivingMF]

"Right, the guy on the twenty-thousand dollar hoverboard is gonna chase after Spider-Man. Come on!"

[ModestMr.Green]

I wouldn't mind, but only if he says, 'I've made a huge mistake,' after being impaled on the glider.

[NinjaCarm]

I know some of you may think he's too old, but I'm a fan of Ray Wise being cast as Norman Osborn.

No. Not a fan of this pick.

[Doctor Jones]

Both are too young and too old.

[Blackman]

I always liked Kevin Bacon for the role. He's doing First Class now, but Bacon would be awesome

[PSYLENTGuardian]

This guy, he should be playing Jameson

[thebatsam]

Jameson: Bryan Cranston (would think he would be awesome)
Osborn: Either Ralph Fiennes or possibly Michael Sheen?
Harry: Anton Yelchin (he was always harry in my book)

and if they decide to put her in......Felicia hardy: Diana Argon

[Hurm...]

http://oi51.tinypic.com/2u6pnxt.jpg

Sam Neill as Norman Osborn.

[NinjaCarm]

This guy, he should be playing Jameson

I could see that too. I'm even wondering if J Jonah Jameson or even Norman Osborn are in this first film. By the looks of that provided supposed outline which I love, Norman Osborn is. Glad that haven't announced the actor yet. Keep it all secret Webb and Co.

[NinjaCarm]

http://oi51.tinypic.com/2u6pnxt.jpg

Sam Neill as Norman Osborn.

I could definitely see that. He could be one crazy arse Green Goblin IMO.

[Doctor Jones]

Bryan Cranston is an interesting choice. The man is immensely talented.

And I love the Neil suggestion.

[Ultimate Doom]

*ahem*

http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/765/765337/the-state-within-20070215060804870.jpg

Not feeling him as Norman Osborn, at all. No please.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I know some of you may think he's too old, but I'm a fan of Ray Wise being cast as Norman Osborn.
http://img1.tvloop.com/img/showpics/64/91/l3589737d0000_1_8093.jpg

Maybe too old for Norman but yeah... as someone else said... he'd make a good Jonah or Hammerhead.

[JustABill]

Yes! Ray Wise as Hammerhead or Jonah would work. I think he's better at playing bad guys though. :up:

[chaseter]

http://oi51.tinypic.com/2u6pnxt.jpg

Sam Neill as Norman Osborn.

I love Sam. I would be overly excited if Sam was cast.

[I'm Venom]

http://fansiter.com/2009/07/jensen-ackles-20071106-335111.jpg

Jensen Ackles as Eddie Brock

[XxDelta09xX]

^I'm all for that!

[NinjaCarm]

I'm just curious as to who will be playing Norman Osborn, if in fact that outline that has been floating around is true (which I really really hope it is).

[Doctor Jones]

Joseph Gordon Levitt would make a great Harry.

I just hope Harry is actually in this film.

[NotSoLongAgo]

Based on his performance in The Town, Jeremy Renner as Eddie Brock.

[HighFivingMF]

Based on his performance in The Town, Jeremy Renner as Eddie Brock.
He'll be 40 in less than 2 weeks. I'm not expert, but isn't Brock usually around Parker's age?

[Majik1387]

Based on his performance in The Town, Jeremy Renner as Eddie Brock.
Considering he's Hawkeye, that's not gonna happen.
He'll be 40 in less than 2 weeks. I'm not expert, but isn't Brock usually around Parker's age?
Yeah, if maybe a litle bit older.

[Gianakin_]

Wasn't 616 Brock considerably older that PP? As in, 5 years?

[thebatsam]

I think Michael Sheen would be a great Norman Osborn

[Ajendo]

616 Brock is older than Parker

[Venom'sDad]

Stephen Lang as Rodderick Kingsley

[NotSoLongAgo]

I think Michael Sheen would be a great Norman Osborn
He would be a better Mysterio

Wasn't 616 Brock considerably older that PP? As in, 5 years? Well yeah older. I had Tom Hardy as Brock a long time ago. I think Renner could pull off 30s.

[Ajendo]

Cast Jameson already!

[bjt]

Listed on IMDB that the actor is slated to Leif Gantvoort a character called "Glasses. " The odd thing is that he is also cast in a movie called "Lot Lizard" playing a character called Spider.
