The Justice League Casting Thread - Part 3

[BigA]

Alexander Skarsgard would make a good Aquaman. Only problem is at 6'4" he may tower over everyone.

[Midnight Black]

Some people must not watch a lot of tv & film lol.

Martian Manhunter - Giancarlo Esposito

That's a great cast. The only thing I'd change is Justin Timberlake in favour of Ryan Kwanten, and while I love Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, isnt he in the running for a major role in Captain America 2?

Ryan Kwanten's a great choice for Barry!

Also, Ryan Kwanten is a good choice for Barry. IMO he still has that Timberlake feel though, which is what I want for Barry/Flash, so having him or Justin in the role is basically like the same IMO. Actually, someone had mentioned Ryan Phillippe awhile ago, but I disagreed. However to my point Ryan Kwanten is like a mixture of Phillippe and Timberlake IMO, and I would be fine if he were cast as the Flash.

I also think that the Jesse Spencer from House and Jonathan Togo from CSI: Miami would also make a good Flash.

I like this thinking out of the box...good suggestions!!!!

We all aim to please you Midnight. So im currently working on a script for fun. I have a few ideas i wanna run past you. Movie opens up with a batman faceplant. I think its iportant batman is seen as batman first instead of bruce wayne so people arent so quick to make the bale comparison. He is being attacked by a villain of Flash's. Batman is trying to initiate the speed force to pull wally west out of the dimension he escaped to with his family. He comes back clutching his family. They have been barely surviving in this dimension it has been hell. He thanks Bats but bats says he didnt do it because he cares. he needs his help. It is just a means to an end. Batmna is focused on his own personal vengeance. His own city his own villains. Hal is greatful to Batman. Hal (reynold) becomes this nonstop persuader of batman to join the league. Aquaman is not in the movie except for a cameo from a distance out in the water. When a real threat arises superman corners batman tells him his personal journey doesnt matter if there is no world left. Becoming a team is there best chance ever. Batman agrees to join but explains to Alfred he will only join if he can first figure out the weknesses of each hero as a safeguard. Meanwhile something has drawn diana to Earth. Her getting used to earths laws and normality gets the attention of supes who then helps her to better blend with the people with earth. This is where JL seperates itself from Avengers because these are average everyday people that can do extraordinary things you see wonder woman cooking, working Flash learning to adapt to society again. All the while MM (Esposito) is there sort of the Nick Fury of the bunch knowledgeable but Batman keeps asking "what can he do" leading up to the finale where MM goes beast mode. Im not a screenwriter at all but what do you guys think. What would you add or take away. Oh and at the end Hal becomes the villain for the next movie just like the comic where kyle becomes the new lantern. Nad flash doesnt like that at all

I saw her while watching Hawaii 5-0, not a big name does mostly tv shows. I just threw her name out there. Something fresh always seeing the same fancastings being repeated in this thread.

Those are some great picks Lobo! Love the idea of Jessica Pare for Wonder Woman!

What about Josh Dallas for Flash (Barry Allen)?

[Crazymaverick]

New line-up:

Superman – Henry Cavill


Batman – Matt Bomer


Wonder Woman – Jessica Pare


Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) – Ryan Reynolds


Flash (Barry Allen) – Josh Dallas


Aquaman – Nikolaj Coster-Waldau


Martian Manhunter - Giancarlo Esposito

[Sub-Zero]

Bomer looks too much like superman to be batman. Someone older or older looking ala rdj could work. Richard armitage,fassbender, scott adkins, or even baby goose himself, but after seeing gangster squad his voice is way too high; he's more flash I guess.

[Majik1387]

Baby goose?

[Sub-Zero]

The definition of gosling :P

[Majik1387]

Oh. Thanks.

Batman and Supes look basically the same in many comics and cartoons lol. I think Bomer would make a great Batman. Let him pack on some muscle and we are good. He has a small frame, but depending on the suit it may work. If Bomer is not going to be Supes then I definitely wouldn't mind him for Batman. Top 5 definitely.

However, I also wouldn't mind someone bigger and more rugged. Scott Adkins doesn't necessarily have the square jaw that I would like to see Bats have this time around in the cowl. He has more of a C. Bale face type. However I think he would make a good Bats as he already has the martial arts and acrobatics down. That would make for some great fight scenes. None of that closeup defensive fighting that we got with Nolan where Batman always had his arms raised blocking his face (yes I understand it was for countering). We could get a Batman that does some cool aerial maneuvers, kicks and flips.

[Sub-Zero]

I guess my question is can Adkins act? I've never seen him say anything in movies he just fights. Plus he's a brit. Another Brit batman or even an entire british cast would be interesting.

[Majik1387]

Loved him in Undisputed 3

[ЯɘvlveR]

if reynolds retains the part of hal, adkins gets the part bruce, we can go from people complaining about bomer and cavill looking alike, to adkins and reynolds looking alike.

[Majik1387]

Except Adkins and Reynolds look nothing alike.

Unless that was just a bad XM:WO joke.

[ЯɘvlveR]

you're right. i forgot scott adkins is black.

Yeah, I assume he can act....he is an actor lol. Seriously though I get what you mean, but as long has he can be convinceable in the part I'm sold. I'm not looking for an anthony hopkins in the role, just someone that can bring Batman on screen.

you're right. i forgot scott adkins is black.

Huh? Once again not getting it *whooshes hand over head*
