Brave and the Bold Casting Thread

[Deck Rickard]

That's part of the fun, imo. I really want to go back to taking huge risks with major casting. A big thing for me is I try to, for the most part, ignore natural "vibes" actors have as a major factor - I feel like we're in an era of super traditional casting that sometimes forgets that most of these characters could probably be played by any skilled actor with transformative ability.

Batman's a much less clear fit for him than Bond though. I don't know exactly how he'd click as Batman but I can instantly see him as Bond.

Yeah that is true and I do love it when an actor surprises you. For example, I’m really glad we got Pattinson as Batman but after seeing Hoult as Luthor, it makes me think he really could have nailed Batman too. I need a QUC so I can visit every universe where other people were cast in all these roles lol.

But yeah, it is fun to speculate and visualize, especially when it’s really hard to see an actor as a particular character. To be fair to O’Connor, one only seen him in Challengers and while he was definitely the standout in that movie it’s just hard to picture him as Batman.
