[Steve Holt]

well here's part 1 of 8 hours of work lol

Black Panther (T'Challa):
-Chiwetel Ejiofor, probly THE pick for T'Challa, great actor, can do action, can do depth, has great presence
-Tongayi Chirisa, great younger actor, was amazing in Crusoe, could definitely do the character justice.
(btw....Djimon Honsou for T'CHAKA!)
Ant-Man (Hank Pym):
-Eric Christian Olsen, he's just waiting for a breakout role, hilarious in many movies and shows, almost lead in the cancelled "Greatest American Hero" movie, can do drama. I believe he would suit Edgar Wright's humor
(Would be great to see on screen with Chris Evans as a Not Another Teen Movie reunion)
-Simon Baker, can do intelligent and arrogant, looks just like Pym
-Patrick Wilson
-Alan Tudyk
Dr Strange:
-Benecio Del Toro
-Eric Bana
-David Tennant
-Clive Owen
-Michael Sheen
-Sacha Baron Cohen, charismatic actor, has presence, could definitely pull it off
-Timothy Olyphant
-Oscar Issac
Vision: Jude Law, that is all.
Hercules: Joe Manganiello, waiting for a breakout film role, good actor, almost Superman, i'd love to see him battle Hemsworth
Wasp:
-Morena Baccarin, great in Firefly, V and Homeland, was my pick for Maria Hill
-Jennifer Morrison
-Ginnifer Goodwin
Wonderman: could be many actors, but i choose Owain Yeoman cause i've been following him on different things for ages and he's become quite good, Kitchen Confidential, The Mentalist, Generation Kill
Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew): Rebecca Hall, english, amazing actor
Nova:
-Cillian Murphy, also one of my picks for Moon Knight, outstanding actor, believe he could really bring some depth to an onscreen adaptation.
-Zachari Levi, great on Chuck, could bring a likeabilty to the character, waiting for a breakout film
-Matthew Bomer, Almost SUPERMAN!.......TWICE!!, great actor, White Collar, Chuck, Traveller, Tru Calling
Sentry: Alexander Skarsgard, almost Thor, definitely on Marvel's radar, on shortlist for Thor and Captain America
Kang the Conqueror: Pierce Brosnan
Ares: Gerard Butler, typecasting i know, but he would bring some Appropriate star power to the Hercules movie, imagine seeing him fight Joe Manganiello
Thanos: Jeffery Wright (mo. cap and voice), rumoured to be playing the role, could bring some gravitas to the role

 

[Optimus_Prime_]

I'd use Eric for Scott Lang or Eric O'Grady

 

[Steve Holt]

i'd just love to see him in a marvel movie.
i think he could play Pym, O'Grady or Lang.
Definitely want to see what he could do with Edgar Wright

 

[Steve Holt]

part 2 now, expanding the current franchises (Cap, Thor, IM)

Thor and IM

Ghost: Jason Lee (at least voice), imagine the banter between RDJ and Jason Lee
Mandarin: Hiroyuki Sanada, great in Last Samurai, White Countess, Sunshin and City of Your Final Destination, he is Japanese but i hardly think that would matter depending on how the character was written.
Balder: Liam Hemsworth, this one's kind of obvious, but i'd be willing to see it, he might want his own thing though and not to be lumped in with his brothers franchise, also it was almost his lol
Enchantress: Alice Eve, is beautiful and talented, great in Starter For 10

Captain America, Shield etc, TIH
Here's where i think i've got a great idea for the first two

Baron Zemo: Ralph Fiennes, pretty obvious, great choice, said many times before, he's willing to do big franchises and be under makeup etc
Baron Zemo II: Joseph Fiennes, good actor, be could to see Ralph's brother play his son (or grandson depending on the timeline)
Falcon: Anthony Mackie, just waiting for a big franchise role, great in the Hurt Locker
Sharon Carter: Amanda Righetti, already appeared, rumoured to be Agent 13, good in The Mentalist
Aleksander Lukin: Mads Mikellsen, great actor, has presence and charm
Clay Quartermain: Ben McKenzie (if going younger), amazing young actor, Southland, Batman Year One
Jimmy Woo!!!: Tim Kang, 10 years ago it should have been Russell Wong, now Tim Kang is the only choice, scene stealer in The Mentalist
Carol Danvers: Yvonne Strahovski, this one has been said numerous times, and i agree
Union Jack:
-Luke Evans
-Toby Kebbel, stole the movie in Rock N Rolla, great young actor.
GW Bridge: Charles S Dutton, he fits the mold lol
Abigail Brand: Felicia Day, had been rumored, could be a good choice, worked with Whedon before
Rick Jones: Marshall Allman, LJ from Prison Break
Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk mo. cap:
-Jennifer Carpenter
-Oliva Wilde
Mar-Vell: Matthew Goode, he's a great actor, almost Superman, looks otherworldly

 

[MarvelComix85]

Allison Brie as Kitty Pryde (Astonishing X-Men)

Blake Lively as Copycat

Bryan Cranston as Senator Robert Kelly

Eddie Cahill as Thing

Gina Carano as Domino

Liam Hemsworth as Colossus

Olga Kurylenko as Lilith Drake

Poppy Montgomery as Jean Grey

Sam Witwer as Namor

Tom Hardy as Taskmaster

 

[Mistress Kizuna]

I totally approve of Sam Witwer as Namor. Mmmm... :9

 

[Sebastos]

Casting the current Defenders team:

Jim Caviezel as Dr. Strange:

Garrett Hedlund as Iron Fist:

Sam Witer as Namor:

Jessica Biel as Red She-Hulk:

Doug Jones as Silver Surfer:

 

[MarvelComix85]

I totally approve of Sam Witwer as Namor. Mmmm... :9

Oh! Seems like Iron Fist does as well. I just had that vibe of him after watching Being Human and the cutscenes of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed that he could nail the personality of Namor.

Casting the current Defenders team:

Jim Caviezel as Dr. Strange:

Garrett Hedlund as Iron Fist:

Sam Witer as Namor:

Jessica Biel as Red She-Hulk:

Doug Jones as Silver Surfer:

- Not bad. I heard Jim Caviezel is a popular choice, and I had him cast once in an Avengers fancast video I made in 2009.
- Garrett Hedlund is a groovy choice as Iron Fist, but I have him locked down for Nova (Richard Rider). because of Tron Legacy. Of course, I think you know about me recently throwing in Kellan Lutz.
- Seems like my casting Sam Witwer as Namor caught on.
- Red She-Hulk is actually Betty Ross, so Liv Tyler should probably be in that role, not Jessica Biel. Though I can see why people wouldn't mind Jessica Biel in the role of She-Hulk (she's tried comedies out like Easy Virtue and a recent SNL appearance as Jessica Rabbit; she's built like mad crazy). But my choice is Lake Bell, because she's got that unhinged sense of humor and rockin' body, as seen below.
- I can't see anyone else play Silver Surfer than Doug Jones.

Witwer's another good choice for Namor.

Hedlund's character in Tron: Legacy had a few traits that gave off a Danny Rand vibe (Taking over his father's company ENCOM International and etc.), he's always been one of my choices for the role. Plus he's already proven he can fight.

I know but what are the chances of Liv coming back as Betty? Betty in Defenders is a real explosive personality, she's full of life. Biel just came to mind to say the least.

By the way, are you gonna cast more X-Men?

 

[OptimusPrime114]

By the way, are you gonna cast more X-Men?

Sure!

Nina Dobrev as Kitty Pryde

Armie Hammer as Colossus

Garrett Hedlund as Havok

Jon Bernthal as Wolverine

Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Storm

Brenda Song as Jubilee

Alyson Michalka as Dazzler

Emma Watson as Pixie

Jackson Rathbone as Nightcrawler

Odette Yustman as Rogue

 

[MarvelComix85]

- Nina has too dark a look for a cutey-pie like Kitty Pryde.
- Well, seems like Armie Hammer became the fan favorite for Colossus all of a sudden! Great idea going younger, because Colossus started out as a teen.
- I guess you heard about Jon Bernthal becoming the new fan fave for Wolverine on CBM.com, right? Well, he's young enough, and if he can learn martial arts, then by all means, I'll take him. Though Stephen Dorff stands at 5'7", and plays gruff characters.
- Brenda Song would definitely work for Jubilee. But she's 24 this year. I know of another Disney Channel star of Asian decent who would be more than perfect for Jubilee: Hailey Kiyoko from the movie Lemonade Mouth. She even has the haircut.

- I've heard about Dazzler, and she's supposed to be toned and athletic, so Aly Michalka is a huge contender.
-

for your Pixie choice. I checked out Pixie in the X-Men Destiny game, and her spell names sound like Hermione Granger speak.
- I did hear from someone over at CBM.com that Jackson Rathbone knows swordfighting from The Last Airbender.
- Big proponent of Amber Heard as Rogue. But Odette Yustman looks hot enough for the role.

Rest of the choices are goood! Do you plan on casting the rest of the X-Men, as well as the New Mutants, X-23, and the Brotherhood?

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Alyson Michalka as Dazzler

Perfect. t:

A. Armie has Russian ancestry, he's tall and he can act, so that's why.

B. Hayley is of Japanese ancestry, but I'll save her for Armor or Sister Grimm for the Runaways.

C. Sure, absolutely!

Ben Barnes as Gambit

Terry O'Quinn as Professor X

Alexandra Daddario as X-23

 

[OptimusPrime114]

BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS

Liam Neeson as Magneto

Robert Pattinson as Quicksilver

Gemma Arterton as Scarlet Witch

Alexander Skarsgard as Sabretooth

Milla Jovovich as Mystique

Matt Smith as Toad

I need picks for Juggernaut and Mastermind.

Ben Barnes as Gambit

Terry O'Quinn as Professor X

Alexandra Daddario as X-23

A. NO ****?! Well... but I've thought of Liam Hemsworth, because I wanted to keep the character young. But seeing as Armie's a little young, tall, and the right heritage...

B. I think Hailey's better for Jubilee. Especially since she has the hair, youth, and delivery necessary.

- Hmm, not sure if I seen Ben Barnes deliver any Gambit-esque personality. He looks the part, I'm just not 100% sold on him. Justin Hartley reminds me of Gambit on Smallville, he just needs the Cajun accent.
- Terry Quinn's pretty cool as Professor X.
- Great shot of Daddario! Where's that from?

BROTHERHOOD OF MUTANTS

Liam Neeson as Magneto

Robert Pattinson as Quicksilver

Gemma Arterton as Scarlet Witch

Alexander Skarsgard as Sabretooth

Milla Jovovich as Mystique

Matt Smith as Toad

I need picks for Juggernaut and Mastermind.

- I've seen Liam Neeson appear quite frequently as Magneto. He definitely has the imposing height. But what do you think of Anthony Stewart Head? He's played Magneto to some extent in Merlin as Uther Pendragon.
- I've actually came up with Robert Pattinson for Quicksilver a while back. Glad to see that get inspired, though I haven't seen him in any films where he acted like the character. I just went with whoever had the hairdo.
- Gemma Arterton is 100% gorgeous and appropriate for Scarlet Witch. I even saw it appear on a fancast on CBM.com.
- True Blood + Straw Dogs = Sabretooth. Appropriate choice.
- I'm about ready to check out Doctor Who. Then I can see if Matt is good for Toad. Well, he's British and dirty looking in that shot above, you could be on to something.

How about Nathan Jones for Juggernaut and Jason Callis for Mastermind?

One more thing, do you plan on adding any more characters, like Emma Frost, the New Mutants, other members of the Brotherhood, government, Apocalypse, Mister Sinister, Deadpool, Cable, Bishop, Domino, et al? It'd be interesting, because I'm doing a fancast on CBM.com (as RoadDogXVIII), and I'm looking for good inspiration from this board.
