I don't know about the rest of these, but I'd love to see Shakira play Rima.

If Audrey Hepburn could pull it off, so can Shakira

Plus she's mostly got to speak in bird song, chirps and whistles.

If Warner Brothers and DC decided to do a spoof movie, this should be the team for that spoof movie. With Shaq showing up as Steel.

HighFivingMF · 09-26-2010, 08:54 AM

Casting for Gleek is PERFECT.

Wait, Spoof? What spoof? This is serious business

Denied...

OwlBoy · 09-27-2010, 05:02 PM

Gleek should be played rotating out Glee cast members and having no one commenting on it at all.

Nave 'Torment' · 10-18-2010, 04:17 PM

We ought to cast the original JLA in here just for kicks! Imagine if they made a SUPER FRIENDS film back in the late 60s, who should've starred?

Well Super Friends began 1973, so starting there...
There was a live action cast SUPER FRIENDS "movie" of sorts -
look up Legends of the Superheroes - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5d6BUq6rYI

But if these guys were cast back then -

1970's:
1. Black Vulcan: Richard Roundtree - http://www.fancast.com/blogs/wp-content/post_images/fred-williamson-hammer.jpg (None other than Shaft himself, there could be no other)

2. Apache Chief: Will Sampson - http://imageshack.us/a/img837/4544/70sjlarchaicaapachewill.jpg

3. Samurai: Toshirô Mifune - http://lh4.ggpht.com/_o3zX3UsFnGw/Sxpe2DHVnOI/AAAAAAAABk8/eITs-BaV40c/s640/Shadowy%20Jubie.jpg

4. El Dorado: Ricardo Montalbán - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Danny_Trejo_2.jpg (The guy was fit)

5. Rima - Linda Harrison - http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft%3A*%3AIE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7DKUS&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=Linda+Ha rrison&btnG=Search&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai= (Nova)

6-7. Zan & Jayna: Donny & Marie - http://lh6.ggpht.com/_V6Z8Ol52whk/Sf6RsiERG9I/AAAAAAAABCU/keGCP_ESNkA/donnyandmarie_thumb3.jpg?imgmax=800 (They had to be modled on them)

And thanks for posting the question, without doing a search for 70's casts I would have never realized Richard (freakin Shaft) Roundtree in Earthquake must have been the inspiration for Black Lightning/Black Vulcan

artemishunter · 02-08-2011, 01:20 PM

I'm seeing ALOT of non-white faces on that list of Z-list heroes. Bums me out a little.

On another note:
That being said, I would pay good money for a 70s Donnie and Marie Wondertwins movie!

What’s bumming you out?
That's the history of these characters, yeah they wore their ethnicity on their sleeve, like most exploitation era characters it was the most blatant part about them, they were kind of created off the cuff by HB to fill a void not covered by DC at the time. Who would you add/change?

Yeah they kind of missed the boat on that one. I have no doubt the Wonder Twins were inspired by the Ozmand duo.

Oh yeah, these guys pretty much defined the trope. Now they just need their own movie.

How about The Wondertwins as adults.My picks are:

Jet Li--Zan
Lucy Lui--Jayna

The idea is definitely meant tongue-in-cheek, although imagining if they were to do it for real. It's clear DC/WB (and probably the world) have distanced themselves from these cliché ridden characters.

There might be a love-hate thing, and an insane part of fandom that actually wants to see DC/WB own up to these characters, and have them succeed.

Avtivate!

Or not

Gathered together from the cosmic reaches of the universe.

WTF, are we... the new freakin Super Friends!?

...Nah, can't be!

I guess it would be to much to ask for them to spin this out of the Man of Steel franchise.

A few subtle cameos and a minor movie name change-

That's really all it needs.

The Truth!
