Cast Marvel... Any actor, any era...

[NEXUS 6]

I know we have a current thread, and an eighties thread, but if you could pluck any actor from any era to play your favorite Marvel heroes, who would it be?

For example, James Dean would be an amazing Bucky Barnes.

 

[Silvermoth]

Angela Basset circa "Malcolm X" as Storm.

 

[Panthro]

Charlton Heston as Captain America in the mid-late 1950s, though I'm sure most fans would probably say Heston for Thor, as Heston was pretty much the go to guy for epic costume heroes in his day.

Stephen Boyd for Namor the Sub-Mariner in the late 50s/early 1960s

Hmm... Jeff Bridges as Cyclops/Scott Summers in the mid-1970s to early 1980s?

The one time Bond actor George Lazenby certainly would have passed for looking like Cyclops in the 70s X-Men era.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Steve McQueen as Jack Kirby's Captain America

 

[Captain America]

Steve McQueen as Jack Kirby's Captain America

Hell Yeah!

 

[Blight616]

Oliver Reed as Odin.

 

[Panthro]

Oliver Reed as Odin.

I can dig that.

Off the top of my head:

Robert Redford as Captain America
Orson Wells as Red Skull
John Wayne as Sgt. Fury
Audrey Hepburn as The Wasp

 

[Hound55]

For Cap I'd go Steve McQueen, Paul Newman or Robert Redford...

 

[Hound55]

In fact... I'd be willing to go Paul Newman for Daredevil as well...

 

[Hound55]

And I know this is going to raise some eyebrows but I'd be very interested in seeing a younger Jack Nicholson as Wolverine... The muscle-tone migh be lacking but I think we'd see some serious intensity.

 

[Hound55]

Robbie Robertson = Sidney Poitier...
The Vulture... Ben Kingsley?

I don't think we could go better than Patrick Stewart for Prof X...

 

[Donnie Darko]

80s/early 90s Bruce Campbell as Deadpool. Also, I feel like 80s Tom Hanks (think Big, the Burbs, and Bachelor Party) could do well as Deadpool.

 

[Captain America]

Oliver Reed as Odin.

I can dig that.

For Certain

Off the top of my head:

Robert Redford as Captain America
Orson Wells as Red Skull
John Wayne as Sgt. Fury
Audrey Hepburn as The Wasp

Perfection!

80s/early 90s Bruce Campbell as Deadpool. Also, I feel like 80s Tom Hanks (think Big, the Burbs, and Bachelor Party) could do well as Deadpool.

Back in the day, Campbell would have made an amazing DP no doubt

 

[Eddie Dean]

If Campbell is Deadpool, than Ted Raimi must be Weasel.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

i always thought the young kirk cameron with a lil haircut coulda done a good job playing spidey

 

[weezerspider]

Michael J Fox Marty McFly-style as Peter Parker/Spiderman.

 

[Captain America]

If Campbell is Deadpool, than Ted Raimi must be Weasel.

Brilliant!

 

[MilkmanDan]

Robert De Niro as Wolverine

Robert Mitchum as Nick Fury

Burt Lancaster as Punisher

 

[sdn]

Angela Basset circa "Malcolm X" as Storm.

Exactly

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

imo there would be no actor more perfect for Daredevil than Guy Pearce

 

[SuperFerret]

Vincent Price is Dr. Strange. If you disagree, you should die.

 

[UnkillableMick]

Vincent Price is Dr. Strange. If you disagree, you should die.

I was literally just about to post this.

Nowadays, Geoffrey Rush or Daniel-Day Lewis would be passable.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Michael J Fox as Spidey? I could dig that

And Bruce Campbell for Deadpool would be PERFECT.

 

[marcvader]

Michael Biehn-Cyclops and Dolph Londgren-Thor
