You seriously need to stop basing your casting choices on height and knowledge of (completely unrelated) martial arts.
I agree, how tall is RDJ? like5'7", 5'8"? He wears lifts as Tony who is 6'1" in the comics. How many people ***** and moan about him being too short? How many people actually care? Evans is only like 6', Rogers is 6'2".

Performance for me comes before looks. And even then height doesnt really figure into that.

As for my own opinions on it. I can only rule on those I've seen act. Which are Donovan and Rosenbaum. And I think Donovan is spot on. And I like Rosenbaum there.
 
Oh, jeez. I pissed alot of people off. Hey, how about not speaking for Red.Star.Killer and let me hear his reasonings for why he picked who he pick?
 
Ehhh, not a huge fan of your Ultimate Captain America choice. I don't know if that's just an unflattering picture of him, but he looks odd.

I'd go for Teddy Sears (who's been another Cap pick of mine before Chris Evans was cast).

Speaking of Ultimate Universe Castings...

Cillian Murphy as Phillip Lawson/Captain Mahr-Vell
inception.jpg

Lol, sorry the pic is my bad. Ron normally wears his hair long so when I found on that was short I just took it. Great casting for Mahr-Vehl.

@ Red.Star.Killer

- Captain America's height in the Ultimate universe is 6'3". And Ron is not only too old, but he's 5'10". Screw camera tricks, I'm not into that artificial stuff. Let's get a tall actor. Then again, I'm willing to hear your reasonings why.
- Isn't Iron Man in the Ultimate universe a Hispanic? I read Jeff's IMDB profile, and besides learning Brazilian Ju-Jitsu, that's it. But, again, I'd like to hear your reasonings.
- You got the right Thor, brother. A toast to you.
- Thumbs up to Maggie as the Monica Chang.
- I've always thought of Michael as Henry Pym. But he'd be the bomb as Eric O'Grady, because of his comic timing as Flash in Justice League of America.
- I don't know the height of Carol in Ultimates, so I can't speak on Marley in the role. But she could work.
- Never heard of Kevin Alejandro.
- Rashida Jones needs to be in alot of fancast. She's gorgeous.
- Nice choice for Rhodey.
- Common as Blade? If there is to be a reboot of Blade, it'd have to be someone like Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje or Idris Elba. But Common would give Wesley Snipes a run for the money. If I do a Blade fancast, I may borrow this choice and give you max credit!
- I see Ben as Beast during the Golden Age era for the X-Men. Because I'm using Keifer Sutherland as the modern version, and the two look alike. I don't know, Ben's a low-key actor. And I read that in the Ultimates, Clint is a family man, so I think someone in their 40's, and standing at 6'3", would do the job.
- Apparently, seeing Punisher is 6'5" and Joe is 6'5", that might be a great choice. So... thumbs up, pal.
- Great pick for Tyrone Cash. Lester Speight is a great actor who looks like a giant. And nice idea picking a scene from Prison Break for a shot of Speight.
- Well, since Ultimate Nick Fury is in the 616 movie universe, 616 Fury is in the Ultimate movie universe. Give Bruce some hair, and boom!

I hope I don't feel like I'm knocking some of your cast. Give me some feedback on your reasonings behind your choices.

1. The reason why I picked Ron was because if I went with Sears, it might have been confusing because he looks a lot like Skarsgard. Plus with Ultimate Cap even though he has the super soldier serum, he still looks aged like about late 30s or early 40s. Plus Ron like sears has blond hair and blue eyes. He also has the toughness to play Ultimate Rodgers being a former golden gloves boxer and he was even able to bench press 312lbs in high school. The man is a real life super soldier lol. Plus you're never too old or too short to kick ass, just ask "The Expendables" lol. Also, aside from most other choices being too young (pretty boy looking) ult. cap isn't 616 cap. Ult. Cap is an angry, gung ho, America all the way, other countries suck, 80 something year old war vet in a young body *******. And Ron can play a damn good *******. Plus sears is my choice for Aquaman, lol. But Mark Valley could work too.

2. The reason why I picked Donovan is because he is Stark. Just Watch Burn Notice. The swagger, the way with the ladies, his ability to assess a situation and plan things to smallest detail and pull it off without a hitch, that's Tony Stark. Yes Ultimate Stark is hispanic, but there are two ultimate takes on Stark, the latter has been retconned to fit more in line a bit with the movie and 616 Stark a bit. Even his brother who one can assume is also hispanic looks full on caucasian in some works. Donovan can be made to look hispanic like Willem Dafoe was for Once Upon a Time In Mexico.

3. Thank you! No disrespect towards Hemsworth who rocked, but I can't help but see Skarsgard in the role still.

4. Again thank you. I needed someone who was sexy and bad ass enough to tell off anyone she saw fit and Maggie has that in bunches. Not just from Nikita, but from Live Free or Die Hard. Which is kinda why I picked Bruce as Fury, besides Ult. Fury taking on the role of 616 Fury.

5. Rosenbaum would work well as Grady without a doubt, but they don't have a grady antman in the ultimate u. Just Scott Lang who happens to be bald, a comedic personality, and a Doctor. He's basically all three rolled into one.

6. Height really isn't important, but Marley is a good fit for Ultimate Danvers. She can play a vulnerable, tough, and in charge women well. Watch Planet Terror, you'll see. She's a chameleon actress.

7. Kevin is good, check out his work in True Blood, Weeds, South Land, and Red State. He also worked on Burn Notice, so he has experience working with Donovan.

8. Yes Rashida Jones is hot.

9. Again thank you. Brian White needs more roles, he's a very talented actor who has a lot of range and is willing to get into character for his roles.

10. Lol, no problem! Barrow away, it's for everyone. One actor for a role could be suggested for another, it all works out. I found so many great actors for fan castings due to other suggestions that I lost count!

11. Ben kinda looks like Keifer, but he looks more like Russell Crowe lol. Clint Barton is a family man but he's a young family man. If you look at him he's easily late 20s or early 30s. His character is too wild and immature to be a family man the way that say, Frank Castle would be.

12. Joe for Castle was picked because of his work on True blood. The scene where he was forced to kill to save a life was very Frank like. Plus since he's not doing Superman (damn shame, but Henry looks to do great) he also has the looks of a Punisher and the ultimate Castle fits. I would've picked Hamm, but he's more 616/Max Frank. Ultimate Frank is a wild loose cannon and Joe can do that no problem. Plus, I doubt Frank is really 6'5 in the books. At best he looks like a regular 6'1 or 5 something. Comic stats are always like that. Batman once went from 6'2 to 6'3, and apparently Ult. Ghost Rider is 7ft, yet he and Frank fought and they were eye to eye height wise.

13. You can't get any better than Speight for Cash lol. The Prison Break pic wasn't by choice, it was just the only one that wasn't super large.

14. Exactly! Ultimate Fury is in 616, so I had to make 616 Fury Ultimate Fury.

Nah, they're not pissed at you lol! It's just a common thing about height based casting decisions is all. I think it all started back with the whole Hugh Jackman as Wolverine situation lol. I'll admit, I was guilty of it too at some point. But yeah, if they don't have the look down a 100% that's fine as long as they get the character right. Case in point, they got Punisher's look down great in the 04 and 08 films, and that's about it.

:huh: I'm not pissed at all. I just think casting somebody based on how tall they are and whether or not they know a martial art that more than likely has nothing to do with the character are extremely silly reasons to cast someone. Also, I wouldn't consider 3 people to be "a lot".

That being said, I do agree with a lot of your castings, just not necessarily your reasons for casting them.

1. Sounds logical.
2. Yeah, I remember Willem Dafoe playing a Mexican in Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Great Robert Rodriguez flick. Also, I never read the Ultimate comics enough to know about Ultimate Iron Man, so sucks on me.
3. :yay:
4. :yay:
5. I know they didn't have an Ultimate Eric O'Grady, dude. I'm just saying Rosenbaum would be tops in the role. By the way, is the Scott Lang you're referring to now part of the Ultimate universe?
6. Sounds reasonable.
7. I'm about to get into season 3 of True Blood once it hits DVD, because that's when Kevin appears, right?
8. :word:
9. I've always thought of White as Blade, because like Michael Jai White (are those two brothers?), he knows martial arts. Plus, he's the right height. However, I'm told he doesn't have the gritty personality.
10. :word:
11. Can't argue with that, Jack.
12. Well, like I said, Ultimate Punisher is 6'5", and so is Joe, so you've made an excellent casting choice. And yes, Jon Hamm would rock as 616 Punisher, seeing as Steve Holt inspired me with that pick.
13. :word:
14. :woot:

14. :woot:

5. Yeah, Rosenbaum would rock as Grady. Yes, Lang is now apart of the Ultimate U. He's had a few appearances but is just now getting more panel time.

7. Yes, Kevin appears in season 3. But be warned, there's a jump scare scene with him that'll freak you out lol. Damn Alan Ball, he got me good!

9. Brian and Michael aren't related. I thought so too for a while until I found out. But Brian can play a badass, just watch him in fighting. The movie is kind of so so, but he did good in it. I was originally going to cast Howard in the role, since he played Rhodes already but got recast.

12. Well thank you, I just cast because he would make a great addition to the world of cinema comics. That and he looks like a dead ringer for Ultimate Punisher. I hope if Marvel reboots Punisher they make a tv show where they have different Frank Castles each week. I know it sounds weird, but it can be like an Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions thing. There are a lot of Great Actors to play Castle:

Robert De Niro, Christopher Meloni, Chuck Zito, Tom Jane, Ray Stevenson, Jon Hamm, Johnny Messner, Dominic Purcell, Sylvestor Stallone, Dolph Lundgren (give him another chance), Holt McCallany, Joe Manganiello, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Javier Bardem, Kevin Durand, Mark Valley (Dye his hair, since he won't be cap any time soon), and Gerard Butler, and Matt McColm.

Literally anyone can be the punisher and that works, because what happend to Frank could happen to anyone. Not radio active spiders or gamma bombs, but crime. Each season could be twelve episodes with three actors per season doing four episodes a piece lol. Sorry for the long rant, just a big ass punisher fan going crazy lol

Ooh, you made another cast:

1. I see Adam Brody as an adult Peter Parker. Seth Cohen has some of the webhead's wisecracking sense of humor. Jay Baruchel wouldn't make for a bad Weasel for a Deadpool movie, however.
2. Not a bad pick for Punisher. I see Josh as Electro or Nicky Cavella however.
3. I like the pick of Guy for Daredevil.
4. Where'd this "Josh Brolin as Norman Osborn" come from? I don't see it. Even though he played a killer in True Grit, he's more of a low-key actor, more fit for a role like Otis Banner in Old Man Logan or maybe Kraven the Hunter (he has the mustache).
5. Ooh, if we're gonna go with a new Wolverine, shouldn't we stick with casting the guy with the right height. Nick has the perfect voice, but at 6'2", you're lucky you're not catching the wrath of a ************** user named DDD. He'd kick your ass. So, it's gotta be either Christian Kane or Tom Hardy, both guys who are short in stature, but have knowledge in martial arts and can play brooding heroes. Not that I wouldn't hate Chinlund in the role.
6. Seems like you have my Harry Osborne that I cast on ************** a while back. Great job!
7. That pic of Nicky Whelan is so damn hot. She could work wonders as Gwen Stacy, and she's five thousand times hotter than Emma Stone, so I highly approve of this choice.
8. Patton Oswalt might be my choice for Mole Man or Microchip. Not that I wouldn't approve of him as Foggy Nelson. To me, it's gotta be either Seth MacFarlane or Jason Bateman.

Top notch cast, man.

Top notch cast, man.

1. Powerless Parker is powerless. All he got was a bite that left him with an ugly arm. He's a pushover that gets a backbone and goes after Osborn legally as opposed to with force. Brody is too loud to be a pushover. He's a big, loud, smart ass type character. Nothing like Powerless Parker.

2. Thanks. I cast Lucas because he looks like the old John Romita Sr. Punisher from ASM 129. Electro: Maybe, but Ben Foster or Aaron Paul would work better. They have that edge needed to play Electro. Lucas does too, but it's more of a Frank edge. When he needs to pursue someone he's ruthless! lol

3. Thank you!

4. Brolin low-key? 100% disagree! Brolin is a damn good leading man. Watch No Country for Old Men, Wall Street, and W. He's Osborn, not a bumbling crazed man hunter. Yes he looks the part with the mustache, but Osborn is a ruthless, heartless, smile in your face while backstabbing you, go against me I'll end you bastard! Brolin can do that in his sleep, never mind Jonah Hex. Sure he's got the mustache, but others can play Kraven. Oded Fher or Clive Owen could play Kraven.

5. DDD eh, well I doubt you can puch someone through a computer screen so I'll live lol. As for the right height, Kane is 5'9 220lbs. Not 5'3 300lbs. There is no such thing as the right height for wolverine, the only one who came close was Chris Benoit and he's passed on. Chinlund can do Wolverine no problem, just like Hugh. It's not about looks it's attitude. Yes, I've seen Leverage, but I still see Kane as the snarky attorney getting bullied by Angel.

6. Thank You! I wanted Yelchin for Parker, but he's also great at playing *****ebags. He seems to pull it off great in the new Fright Night trailer.

7. Thanks, I just wanted an excuse to cast Nicky lol! I just got lucky that she looks look her comic counterpart 100%.

8. MacFarlane I can see as a great purple man. Bateman would work wonders as Nelson, but I got him for Maxwell Lord in the DC-Verse lol. But I really like the choice of Bateman.

1. Well, I've started watching the O.C. Seth Cohen is not a smart-ass, he's pretty much what you described. Adam Brody has the look, the presence, and the voice. Especially if we're going for an adult Parker. Not against Jay Baruchel, but I somehow don't see him as Parker.

2. Interesting suggestion of Aaron Paul. I went with Josh, because of his height, and seeing as Max Dillon isn't a criminal, but a scientist per se, I went with someone a little older.

4. I'm not saying Brolin would suck as Norman Osborn. Plus, there's not that big an age difference between 24 stars Keifer Sutherland and Elisha Cuthbert, both playing father and daughter respectively, so I can ignore the age difference between Brolin and Yelchin. But I think Gary Sinise would be good, because he would look like the father of Yelchin, and he has the voice for both Norman and the Green Goblin.

5. I'm aware of your reasoning behind Chinlund as Wolverine. But one thing you must take into consideration is your toughest critics. If they approve of your choices for whomever, then you're a master caster. DDD is a stickler for height, and if you were to upload a cast like this to **************, and he reads it, you know he's gonna pick you apart for using Chinlund. Also, he's pushing into his 50's. But the thing is, I could see that guy as Wolverine, because the voice he used as Billy Bedlam in Con-Air would sound like Logan.

8. You want Seth as Purple Man? I don't think that character is a comedic personality. One guy wanted Robert Knepper as Killgrave himself, and that would be sick.
 
Now, let me take a look at the next part of your cast.

1. Never heard of Randy Wayne before.
2. Not a bad choice for Wilson Fisk.
3. I love Melissa George as Karen Page. But one guy made a strong pick out of Laura Allen? Her performances in The 4400 and an old Courtney Cox show called Dirt are groundwork for Page. The Lily Tyler role (The 4400) was normal honest Karen who worked for Matt and Foggy and the Julia Mallory role (Dirt) is a blue print for the later heroin addict Karen.
4. I could see David as Bruce Banner. Sadly, for now, we've got Mark Ruffalo.
5. Ooh, a Law & Order vet appears! I read a little bit about William Watts, and it's quite interesting.
6. Yes, I approve of Meryl Streep as Aunt May!
7. What do you think of my choices for Mystique: Deborah Ann Woll (she's good at playing tortured souls like she does in True Blood), Diora Baird (because she'd look damn good in blue, like she did in Star Trek), Christy Carlson Romano (she's tall and is trying some mature work of late), and Jodi Lynn O'Keefe (5'10" and can do action).
8. Patrick Wilson is my - and many others - pick for Henry Pym. Not that he wouldn't be good as Mister Fantastic, because DDD also cast him in that role! Some other good picks include Alexis Denisoff, Jack Davenport, Lee Pace, and Matthew Morrison.
9. My pick for Susan Storm would be Sarah Chalke. Sure, she's a comedic actress, but when you get to the bare bones, she played a doctor on Scrubs. Parlay that into a solid dramatic performance, and she'd make for a great Invisible Woman.

Now, is there more on the way?

8. You want Seth as Purple Man? I don't think that character is a comedic personality. One guy wanted Robert Knepper as Killgrave himself, and that would be sick.

1. I don't think Powerless Parker is an adult, if I remember he was a freshman in college with an internship. He might've been 18 or 19. Plus I've never watched The O.C. never liked teen shows even as a teen lmao.

2. Lol, that's kinda why I picked Paul. I love Breaking Bad, and since he's lacking in the science department on that show, I figured it'd be a good in joke.

4. All right, I'm sold. Sinise would kick ass as Osborn. But I want him for Mr. Sinister. Screw it, who says an actor has to be limited to one comic role?

5. I just do this for fun, I'm not out to impress anyone. If someone likes it they like it, if they don't they don't. It's like Keaton. Great Batman. Bale shows up: "Man, screw Keaton." Same thing with Begins. Then Dark Knight comes out: "Screw Begins!" To me a master caster is someone who makes a choice and can defend those choices and is brave enough to live with them. Plus the few suggestions I made while formerly being comicfan4Life and currently as Red.Star.Killer have been borrowed, put in sigs, and praised (Hamm as Castle, TJ Thyne as Beast etc.) Not to seem arrogant but if you can get people to do that you've got something! I recently got approval from one of the casting gods: Eddie Dean! :D One guy on one board just doesn't grab me! I'm sure there may be castings of his that I disagree with, but to each their own. However, I will give you this; getting one of the tough eggs to crack is awesome! I'm still working on Majik lmao! But a fact of life that's truer than gold: You can't please everyone and you'll go crazy if you try. Plus unless someone gets a time machine there's never going to be a such thing as a perfect casting for wolverine unlike a 20 or late 30 something Jack Nicholson. And not just for him but others as well. Eastwood is Hex, Fox was Spiderman, Peck was Batman, Stallone was Punisher, and Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris were Shang-Chi and Iron Fist.

8. Yeah, I think Seth should be Purple Man because I want to see him in a serious role. It's like Will Farrell in Stranger Than Fiction or Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. He'd make a great cinematic Purple Man. He's a guy that's completely purple, people wouldn't take him seriously until he makes them do something against their will like walk out in traffic.

Now, let me take a look at the next part of your cast.

1. Never heard of Randy Wayne before.
2. Not a bad choice for Wilson Fisk.
3. I love Melissa George as Karen Page. But one guy made a strong pick out of Laura Allen? Her performances in The 4400 and an old Courtney Cox show called Dirt are groundwork for Page. The Lily Tyler role (The 4400) was normal honest Karen who worked for Matt and Foggy and the Julia Mallory role (Dirt) is a blue print for the later heroin addict Karen.
4. I could see David as Bruce Banner. Sadly, for now, we've got Mark Ruffalo.
5. Ooh, a Law & Order vet appears! I read a little bit about William Watts, and it's quite interesting.
6. Yes, I approve of Meryl Streep as Aunt May!
7. What do you think of my choices for Mystique: Deborah Ann Woll (she's good at playing tortured souls like she does in True Blood), Diora Baird (because she'd look damn good in blue, like she did in Star Trek), Christy Carlson Romano (she's tall and is trying some mature work of late), and Jodi Lynn O'Keefe (5'10" and can do action).
8. Patrick Wilson is my - and many others - pick for Henry Pym. Not that he wouldn't be good as Mister Fantastic, because DDD also cast him in that role! Some other good picks include Alexis Denisoff, Jack Davenport, Lee Pace, and Matthew Morrison.
9. My pick for Susan Storm would be Sarah Chalke. Sure, she's a comedic actress, but when you get to the bare bones, she played a doctor on Scrubs. Parlay that into a solid dramatic performance, and she'd make for a great Invisible Woman.

Now, is there more on the way?

1. Wayne I saw late night in direct to video National Lampoon film. He played a character that was literally Flash to a "T".

2. Thank you, I tried so hard not to cast Ray Winstone. That man is just practically perfect lol.

3. Thank you. Laura seems like she would make a great Page.

4. Yay for David, but I think Ruffalo might surprise a lot of people. Remember the reaction to Heath?

5. Yes, I always Cast someone from one of the law and orders a marvel/dc hero/villain. It's kind of a thing of mine lol.

6. Thank you! You can't deny the Streep lol.

7. Woll would would work better as Wolfsbane, but I could see it. Diora Baird is perfect! Blue is suddenly my favorite color lmao! Jodi Lynn O'Keefe would work as well. She deserves to be in a comic film. if it's not wonder woman then mystique could work well. Romano, I still get an Even Stevens vibe from her. I'll have to check out her recent works.

8. OMG! I love Lee Pace and Matthew Morrison! Wilson would work great as Pym, but for that role I'm lobbying for Robert Sean Leonard from House lol.

9. Exactly, give her a chance to show what she can do. Same thing for MacFarlane as Purple Man. And yes there will be more to come. I'm out of college so I'm reading old and new comics graphic novels and doing castings and fan-fiction/scripts.

1. I don't think Powerless Parker is an adult, if I remember he was a freshman in college with an internship. He might've been 18 or 19. Plus I've never watched The O.C. never liked teen shows even as a teen lmao.

2. Lol, that's kinda why I picked Paul. I love Breaking Bad, and since he's lacking in the science department on that show, I figured it'd be a good in joke.

4. All right, I'm sold. Sinise would kick ass as Osborn. But I want him for Mr. Sinister. Screw it, who says an actor has to be limited to one comic role?

5. I just do this for fun, I'm not out to impress anyone. If someone likes it they like it, if they don't they don't. It's like Keaton. Great Batman. Bale shows up: "Man, screw Keaton." Same thing with Begins. Then Dark Knight comes out: "Screw Begins!" To me a master caster is someone who makes a choice and can defend those choices and is brave enough to live with them. Plus the few suggestions I made while formerly being comicfan4Life and currently as Red.Star.Killer have been borrowed, put in sigs, and praised (Hamm as Castle, TJ Thyne as Beast etc.) Not to seem arrogant but if you can get people to do that you've got something! I recently got approval from one of the casting gods: Eddie Dean! :D One guy on one board just doesn't grab me! I'm sure there may be castings of his that I disagree with, but to each their own. However, I will give you this; getting one of the tough eggs to crack is awesome! I'm still working on Majik lmao! But a fact of life that's truer than gold: You can't please everyone and you'll go crazy if you try. Plus unless someone gets a time machine there's never going to be a such thing as a perfect casting for wolverine unlike a 20 or late 30 something Jack Nicholson.

1. The O.C. ain't a bad show. I just got to watching the first two discs of the first season on DVD. It sucks that Mischa Barton's a mess, but Rachel Bilson's not finding any work and she looks like she's living the banner lifestyle of healthiness. You should find a good role for Bilson, BTW.

2. Good point.

4. I think Jeremy Irons, a popular choice for Magneto over at **************, would be good as Mister Sinister. I never knew he did the voice for Scar in The Lion King, but now that I know more about him, he has to do a "sinister" role.

5. Carpe diem.

8. That's a great theory. But Seth is Foggy Nelson, and I'll let this back-to-back photo prove it:

1. I don't watch National Lampoon films. Unless they're from the Golden Age, but now they're doing DTV abortions. Still, I applaud your choice. Heck, I might watch some SyFy original movies to find some good actors/actresses for some roles.

2. Nothing wrong with that. I don't think it matters how tall the actor playing Kingpin is (I read he's 6'8"), and I'm a stickler for height, just as long as he has the look and presence.

3. :woot:

4. Me too.

5. :word:

6. :word:

7. I like Rachel Hurd-Wood for Wolfsbane (she's from the UK, small enough, and has a great pair of boobs); glad you like my suggestions for Baird and O'Keefe. Click here to see what Romano has been up to, you're eyes will melt.

8. Well, someone around here suggested Lee Pace, and Morrison became a fan favorite shortly after mentioning. Patrick Wilson is probably the ultimate choice for Henry; his performance in Watchmen is a blueprint for the 616 version, and the other in The A-Team has shades of the wife-abusing Ultimate incarnation. But I wouldn't be against one of the stars from House. Speaking of which, Olivia Wilde became a fan favorite for Wasp.

9. Okay, I'm starting to get some love for Sarah. Here's a shot for the fans.

Oh, and when I was asking more, I was wondering if there were more roles to fill out for Powerless.

1. Then I will cave and watch The O.C. Barton and Bilson are two of my favoirte actresses. I shall cast something for those angels soon!

4. I've heard of Irons as both Magneto and Sinister. But I'll be damned if he would make a great Red Skull too. Weaving looks to do great, but Irons is my go to guy for that just in case I do an alternate reality story like Powerless or something else (Paradise X & House of M) :cwink:.

8. Now I'm torn because that pick does scream Foggy, but Foggy can be a serious damn character as well. He's the normal everyman that we can relate to with all of Matt's craziness. Sure we get a laugh or two every so often, but Foggy has been through some stuff! If he can do Foggy, he should be able to Purple Man. That and I want him to be a big presence on screen and not just the heroes sidekick. Seth's too good for that.

1. Golden Age is the best. But sit through SyFy at your own peril. It's possible but damn near a cruel form of torture, lol!

2. Then you can't get better than Winstone or Gandolfini. Perhaps John Goodman, he was great in Death Sentence!

7. Rachel would make a great Wolfsbane, and Romano made my everything melt. The fact that I'm able to even post this coherently is a miracle lmao!

8. Seen Watchmen, haven't finished A-Team all the way through but I hope they keep him 616. I don't mind the movies borrowing from the 1610 verse, but take the look and feel, leave the d-bag personalities. I know the premise is what if the craziness of the Marvel U was in the real world, but I didn't know everyone would automatically become a bunch of *****! It's kind of redundant too seeing as how Marvel U/Reality is what we're getting in the regular 616. I hope the new Ultimate Reboot Marvel has planned addresses this.

9. Thank you for posting that pick! Love me some Sarah Chalke. I'm compelled to watch Scrubs now lol. And yes, there is more powerless characters underway. I think this is the last casting for powerless which should be up by sometime tonight and then I'll start either Earth X or House of M.

1. The O.C. isn't that bad. Contrary to belief, Mischa Barton isn't that bad an actress. Something happened, and she looks a mess. She'd be lucky to find any role. Rachel Bilson, besides Waiting for Forever, hasn't seen many cinematic roles, but she's living a healthy life. What do you think of her as Wasp?

4. You gotta do Earth X, that sounds like a great comic arc to fancast.

8. Seth can be a great actor, especially when he voices Brian Griffin on Family Guy. I believe some episodes, especially during season 3 ("Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows"), had some poignant and dramatic moments that could be parlayed into Foggy Nelson. My best bet is to go with him as Foggy, and Frederic Lehne as Purple Man. As for this hero's sidekick schpiel, lest we forget, Seth was Johann Krauss in Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

1. Well, I hear things about SyFy. But it's the best place to research if we want to corall in some unknowns for our fancasts.

2. :word:

7. So I'm guessing you visited that link, right? :awesome:

8. Hey, can't argue there. I'm just saying Wilson is good for Henry Pym no matter where they go with the character.

9. Hey, go ahead, watch Scrubs.

I can't wait for Powerless. Plus, you're the man if you cast House of M as well. :woot:

1. Yeah, Barton fell on hard times but I'm hoping she gets better. Bilson would work as Ultimate Wasp as everyone in that universe happens to be a bit younger. 616 Wilson is almost 40, Bilson still looks like a teen. Maybe with make up it could work.

4. I've been meaning to do Earth X for sometime but I've been busy with college. Now that I'm free I'm not restricted anymore lol.

8. Holy Hell, that's right he was in Hellboy! But they didn't regulate him to a sidekick. They gave him a victory over Hellboy, and had him help out Hellboy in the end to have the spear tip removed. I doubt they'll do anything like that with Nelson, even though he was been written very well recently.

1. This is true. That and television shows or imdb's fresh faces section.

7. Damn right I saw the link lmao! My jaw is just now leaving the floor lol!

8. I like Wilson, he's a great actor no matter who he plays lol.

9. I have watched, it was good. House of M shall be cast indeed. As soon as a I finish Powerless I'm doing House of M, that way I can think out Earth X better.
 
Daniel Day-Lewis would be an awesome Dr. Strange, but it's really doubtful he'd ever want to do a superhero movie. Still, it might not hurt to dream...

Other castings...
