BvS Batman casting thread for Man Of Steel 2 - Part 7

[ThePhantasm]

Same here. His age is the main factor against him IMO.

At this point, I'd love it if Armitage was cast.

Yeah, Armitage is good too. He's definitely growing on me.

 

[MrMaooz]

Mike and Mike, say Caviezel was the worst guest they had because he knew nothing about sports.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

If you ever want to put your kids to bed at night, just show them something with Caviezel in it. Or better yet, just whisper "Jim Caviezel" in their ears and they're out like lights.

 

[MrMaooz]

ThePhantasm, do you have the 3D Blu Ray and VHS for Passion of the Christ?

 

[ThePhantasm]

I actually don't own the Passion of the Christ, though I've seen it before.

It'd be interesting to know who was in the running against Bale for the role in BB. And if any of the top contenders from back then are in the suggested mix of actors to play the role now.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Supposedly Gyllenhaal and Pacey from Dawson's Creek were in the running. I know Cillian Murphy auditioned for Batman too, but he was cast instead as the Scarecrow.

Gyllenhaal was in the running against Bale and he's supposedly back in the mix.

 

[MrMaooz]

Billy Crudup, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Joshua Jackson, Eion Bailey, Cillian Murphy, and Heath Ledger.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Supposedly Billy Crudup, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Joshua Jackson, Eion Bailey, Cillian Murphy, and Heath Ledger were all considered for the role.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

If that Heath Ledger and Cillian Murphy thing is true, then that's funny.

 

[Tobias]

Billy Crudup, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hugh Dancy, Joshua Jackson, Eion Bailey, Cillian Murphy, and Heath Ledger.

The only ones that surprise me are Ledger and Jackson.

Joshua Jackson - is he any relation to Jonathan Jackson of GH fame?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Wow... now I'm wondering how Ledger would have done as Bruce/Batman.

 

[MrMaooz]

Ledger was also up for Spidey in 2000.

 

[slumcat]

If that Heath Ledger and Cillian Murphy thing is true, then that's funny.

Sometimes people end up getting other parts than the ones they auditioned for.

Tom Hiddleston tested for Thor, lost the part and was offered Loki.

James Franco tested for Spider-man, lost the part and was offered Harry.

 

[MrMaooz]

The only ones that surprise me is Ledger and Jackson.

Joshua Jackson - is he any relation to Jonathan Jackson of GH fame?

I have no clue, but what I do know is that he's missed out on 2 iconic roles, Captain Kirk and Batman.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I have no clue, but what I do know is that he's missed out on 2 iconic roles, Captain Kirk and Batman.

Thank God. I hate that guy. I wish he would just go the f*** away forever.

 

[Tobias]

I have no clue, but what I do know is that he's missed out on 2 iconic roles, Captain Kirk and Batman.

Jonathan Jackson has an actor/singer brother. But Jonathan Jackson is tiny. I'd guess 5' 8 " so maybe there is no relation assuming one brother takes after the other in terms of stature. Jonathan is now on a country music TV melodrama. Nashville I think its called.

If Gyllenhaal or Brolin gets it i'll...

I knew about the Hiddleston thing but not Franco.

I wouldn't mind Jake.
