Who wants John Hurt as Alfred?

Hordakfan · 10-06-2013, 07:44 AM

I think he should fit the part

Rorschach2012 · 10-06-2013, 04:55 PM

Too old, wouldn't be my first choice. But I'd be fine with it, he's a great actor, just a bit of a predictable choice. I'd rather have Alan Rickman

KillerMcQueen · 10-06-2013, 05:02 PM

I'd be on board if nobody had mentioned Dalton, because Dalton is too damn perfect for the part.

Too old? He's 73.

Rorschach2012 · 10-06-2013, 05:51 PM

I thought he was 80 something for some reason, nevermind

Bathead · 10-06-2013, 08:23 PM

No. John Cleese.
Period.

Keyser Soze · 10-06-2013, 08:34 PM

Nah, too predictable. He's already played a comic book father figure role in Hellboy.

Human Torch · 10-06-2013, 08:58 PM

William Shatner or go home.

Yeah he looks Michael Caine's age but he's a good age for it.

DeGenerate10 · 10-06-2013, 10:39 PM

Need some Timothy Dalton.

Bonesrot · 10-07-2013, 12:53 AM

I thought Ian Holm would be a good option before I googled him and saw how old he's gotten.

Rodrigo90 · 10-07-2013, 06:12 AM

That's the trick imo.
To find an actor, who is young enough to pump out a few films, but looks way older. To give Alfred the more tired, aged look.

People like Donald Sumpter at 70 and Jonathan Pryce at 66

Knightstalker · 10-07-2013, 08:42 AM

I'd be happy with either Dalton for a more hardened ex military type Alfred, or John Cleese for a more traditional one.

Get in the car, Master Bruce

Loki882 · 10-07-2013, 01:31 PM

Jeremy Irons or Terence Stamp.

shauner111 · 10-07-2013, 01:48 PM

Terence Stamp would just feel weird.

TheFlamingCoco · 10-07-2013, 01:49 PM

Ah, the heck with it, Anthony Hopkins as Alfred

Rorschach2012 · 10-07-2013, 02:24 PM

Michael Gambon

Daxceon · 10-07-2013, 08:14 PM

Bill Nighy

Llama_Shepherd · 10-07-2013, 08:19 PM

Idris Elba
Michael Fassbender
Tom Hardy
Benedict Cumberbatch
Jennifer Lawrence

....

Statistically, someone would mention them.

I can see Pryce as a good Alfred.I'm still on Team Dalton,however.
