Batman/Bruce Wayne Casting Thread - Part 5

[Invader Joker]

So let's do this again, famous actors under 30 that could play Batman:
-Nicholas Hoult (my favourite under 30 for the moment)
-ATJ (If he somehow has the hidden talent of Troy Baker, unlikely)
- Dylan O'Brien if he is somehow an amazing actor.
-Noah Centineo if he somehow has some amazing hidden talents (needless to say that's extremely unlikely but hey the dude is young. Nobody would've thought that Pattinson would've been a good actor based on his early filmography and here we are)


And I'm not listing Logan Lerman or Ansel Elgort because the chances they get past a screentest are exactly zero.
Who else is famous and under 30?

Josh Hutcherson ?

Never forget it was a site like Revenge of the Fans that broke the Jason Momoa as Aquaman story so it's not like there's no precedent for sites getting ahead of trades in this stuff.

Flash and Batman

Nope, nope, nope. Necks not powerful enough. John Cena plz

 

[Lucellit]

Nope, nope, nope. Necks not powerful enough. John Cena plz

Still not powerful enough apparently.

 

[Web-Head]

Nope, nope, nope. Necks not powerful enough. John Cena plz

But Cena needs to be MCU Sandman

We aren’t. But there’s a reason most of us put more faith in trades. No one is denying that unaffiliated journalists can and have come through with factual information, but it doesn’t happen often enough to take these people at their word, regardless of how confident they are or how aggressively they insist that they’re right.

Exactly. Heck, a smaller site said Florence Pugh was being considered for a role in Black Widow before the trades reported yesterday she'd joined the cast.

Something like Batman though, I think will be reported by the trades.

Who else is famous and under 30?

I stumbled upon this list. Many of them aren't household names (yet), but are in their 20s. Some looks younger, some looks older than their age, many don't look like conventional Batman.
Bar some recurring names in this thread or DC Film actors, we get:

Timothée Chalamet
Ellar Coltrane
Lakeith Stanfield
Lucas Hedges
Jesse Plemons
Ashton Sanders
Keir Gilchrist
Will Poulter
Dev Patel
Daniel Radcliffe
Chris Colfer
O'Shea Jackson, Jr.
Joe Keery
Graham Phillips
Freddie Highmore
Jordan Rock
Miles Heizer
Nat Wolff
Asa Butterfield
Tye Sheridan

**** that’s actually really good casting.

 

[Superark]

This whole thread...

Not a good suggestion for Batman, but I think he'd make a great Superman.

 

[Gothamsknight]

He was, and remains, easily the best piece of comic book movie casting, other than Chris Reeve and RDJ.

This! Bale was the definition of perfectly cast.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I could kinda see that, yeah. He was only on a few episodes of Flash but I remember thinking he was a better actor than the other Amell.

 

[Boom]

We may have another four months of this.

 

[Eddie Dean]

i thought they already casted armies hammer

 

[Sawyer]

Let me go get hit by a car. If I don't die, maybe I'll be put in a medically-induced coma for awhile.

You wake up...and hear that Access Hollywood is on. They announce that Jacob Tremblay has been cast as the new Batman, because they wanted to go with an older, more seasoned actor.

"How long was I out?" you ask yourself.

"Not long enough," says your fully grown clone, as he reaches for his laser cannon.

 

[Invader Joker]

An announcement on March 30th would be perfect... and too good to happen :/

Who else is famous and under 30?

Liam Hemsworth?
Anyway Robert Pattinson will be one of the star of a new WB big movie Robert Pattinson Poised to Star in Christopher Nolan's Next Movie

Wonder if this takes him out of the running.

I’m guessing so, unless they are hoping Batman hype will help promotion of the original IP. If so, he’s almost certainly already cast...

I don’t think WB thinks Nolan needs Batman to hype up whatever he’s making. Christopher Nolan is a brand in itself that immediately draws attention.

 

[BaneandDawn]

I don't think so. The production of Reeves Batman film will start around year's end.

 

[Web-Head]

Depends on how long the Nolan shoot is. They don't start until the Summer..

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'd say Patty is out, if he was even ever in.
