Cast the Marvel Universe

[Steve Holt]

Jeffery Donovan (Burn Notice) as Bullseye!

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Jack MacBrayer and Alec Baldwin. Are you a 30 Rock fan?

 

[MarvelComix85]

I just started getting into the show. There's some decent actors in there. Especially Alec Baldwin. He has the theatrics that would fit well with a character like Mysterio.

[DeadGhoul]

I think Miley Cyrus would be the best Scarlet Witch and here's why:

She has reddish hair.
She is not too old looking and she is pretty hot.
She is bassically perfect.

Outstanding first post.



You'll go far here.

 

[Chewy]

And Billy Ray can play Magneto!

Thank you comicfan4life. Which one(s) did you like?

Speaking of which, it's just a sneak preview of a huge fan cast that I'm doing for YouTube. It's gonna span almost the entire Marvel universe. I've researched every fan cast on the Internet, taking characters that are popular amongst the most cast. You'll love it.

By the way, I love your choice for Norman Osborn. Not only does Gary Sinise look like him, but judging by his performance in Forrest Gump, he has the Green Goblin voice.

Cool, I'm looking forward to your MU castings. I'm glad you like Sinise for Osborn, I picked him because of Forest Gump ironically. It was like Osborn getting mad at the Sentry, lol. I like a lot of your casting choices but my favorites would be Lady Mastermind, Mocking Bird, Robert Banner, Impossible Man, and Lucy in the Sky. Oh, and Rainn Wilson for Arcade!

 

[OptimusPrime114]

OK, so after thinking, thinking and more thinking, this is the last time I post choices for the fab five (original X-Men):

Chris Pine as Cyclops

Emily Blunt as Jean Grey

Justin Bartha as Beast

Macauley Culkin as Archangel

Chace Crawford as Iceman

Emily Blunt's **** are killing me, especially after I saw this pic on Google.

Oh, the cast?

If we need a new Cyclops, how about someone taller? Besides, Chris Pine already played a leader. How about... Michael Trucco?

Justin Bartha has too much of an effeminate voice. I hear Jon Hamm is the #1 pick for Beast.

Macauley Culkin? That's a left field choice. I ain't complaining though.

I knew Chace Crawford is getting comic relief roles quite a bit. I ain't complaining. I'd love to see him play Speedball in a New Warriors film.

 

[sabetoonth]

TJ Thyne for Beast all the way!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Spider-Man: Logan Lerman
Iron Man: Robert Downey Jr.
War Machine: Terrence Howard
Hulk: Edward Norton
Mr. Fantastic: Joseph Fiennes
The Invisible Woman: Rachel McAdams
Johnny Storm: Chris Pine
The Thing: Jeffrey Dean Morgan (As Ben when he's a human, and as The Thing's voice.)
Captain America: Sam Worthington
Bucky Barnes: James McAvoy
Daredevil: Jim Sturgess

Thoughts?

Terrence Howard is no longer War Machine. That's now Don Cheadle

 

[sabetoonth]

Logan Lerman isnt Spider-Man either, its a personal preference thing i guess

 

[hugekent]

I like your picks OptimusPrime, but I think I'd swap Culkin and Crawford.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

I need help: Which one is a good Dazzler chocie?

Dianna Agron...

...or Christina Aguilera?

 

[SuperT]

Xtina looks more like Felicia Hardy/Black Cat than Dazzler, to me.

Dianna Agron would be a PERFECT young Emma Frost or Ms. Marvel.

 

[Jordacar]

I like your picks OptimusPrime, but I think I'd swap Culkin and Crawford.

Same here.

I need help: Which one is a good Dazzler choice?

Dianna Agron...

...or Christina Aguilera?

I'm not banking on Xtina's acting chops, so I'll take Agron

 

[OptimusPrime114]

Stepford Cuckoos:

Taylor Momsen?

or Dakota Fanning?

 

[MarvelComix85]

Stepford Cuckoos:

Taylor Momsen?

or Dakota Fanning?

I think Dakota Fanning. Taylor Momsen is getting a nasty reputation and is the whipping girl on DListed. Brittany Snow's a good alternative, seeing as she's taller (the Cuckoos are 5'6").

 

[MarvelComix85]

Aurora (Jeanne-Marie Beaubier) ... Neve Campbell

​

Well, basically since the Beaubiers are twins, I'm including Canada's favorite brother/sister act, Christian and Neve Campbell.

Bishop (Lucas Bishop) ... Denzel Washington

​

Denzel has been on a mad tear lately, appearing in action film after action film, only appearing a bit in his usual Oscar bait films. Nothing wrong with that. As a matter of fact, if there's one role in the Marvel Comics universe that would fit his talents well, it'd be Cable's time-traveling arch-nemesis Bishop.

Finesse (Jeanne Foucault) ... Jessica Stroup

​

Probably one of my favorite actresses right now, Jessica doesn't disappoint in the emotion department. Watch that one episode of 90210 where Silver finds out the teacher aired her video with some sex scenes, and another where she puts on a flawless British accent. Jess even did a make-out scene with Heather Graham in a barely seen DTV film called Broken, so at this point, she's up for anything. And she's also very spunky, and that could be recommended for her to play one of the Avengers Academy students.

Northstar (Jean-Paul Beaubier) ... Christian Campbell

​

Who better than to play Neve Campbell's on-screen brother than her real life brother, Christian Campbell.
​

Scorpion (Carmilla Black) ... Jessica Lowndes

​

Since Carmilla Black's days of a superhuman begin as a teen, I had to pick from a line-up of CW stars, and found another 90210 hottie/up-and-comer, Jessica Lowndes. Even though she has the Megan Fox look (and you know the reception that girl's getting), she's incredibly talented; whether she's playing a deranged femme fatale in the Lifetime Original Movie To Have and to Hold (with Jason Bateman's sister), or a conflicted teenager with a history of drug abuse in 90210, she's a very diverse actress. And both Adrianna Tate-Duncan and Carmilla Black have a familiar characteristic: their mothers were the catalyst to what they were. And there you have it.

 

[MarvelComix85]

Daken Akihiro ... Jon Foo

​

I know someone wanted Eiji Wentz in the film, because of the hair. However, I'm more into finding someone who's still young, but at least has martial arts credibility, and let's face it, I'm maintaining a solid budget and not spend thousands on martial arts lessons. XD Anyway, Jon Foo, star of the hideous movie adaptation of Tekken, trained at the Shichahai school of martial arts in Beijing (thank you, IMDB!), grew up in London (so I'm certain he's of mixed heritage, just like Daken), and is 28 years old. So I'm banking on this guy as Wolverine's son.

Dazzler (Alison Blaire) ... Alyson Michalka

​

Wow, they grow up so fast. You may remember Alyson Michalka from when she was doing shows and movies on the Disney Channel, but I guarantee you, she isn't Miley Cyrus. She did Easy A with Emma Stone, which was successful at the box office, and now she's on a surprisingly watchable CW dramedy called Hellcats, co-starring another former Disney idol, Ashley Tisdale (someone who should be pursuing some serious comic book hero roles as well). Aly is an effective actress, very beautiful (check Egotastic for shots of her from Hellcats where she's sweating; you'll crap yourself), and she even has Dazzler's height down (5'8"). And did I forget to mention that she was a singer; one half of Aly & AJ. So, there's your credentials.
​

Persuasion (Kara Killgrave) ... Serinda Swan

​

Apparently, Persuasion is Canada's version of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), since she uses pheromones to hypnotize her targets into doing whatever she wants. Serinda Swan is just like that, especially since she radiates Canadian beauty all over, and she played a superhero with magical powers (Zatanna on Smallville). The role was practically written for someone like her, and with Smallvile nearing the end and an Alpha Flight film being considered for a big screen adaptation, I say "take the role".

Pete Wisdom ... Ian Somerholder

Before I get hit with the "He's not British!" rants, I wanna say this: The man is a hell of a talent on The Vampire Diaries as that wisecracking evil brother. He even looks like Pete Wisdom, is the right height, and is young enough to be Ellen Page's love interest if Marvel gets the rights back from X-Men - but keeping the current universe. And I think he can even nail a British accent.
​

Spider-***** (Ashley Crawford) ... Ashanti Douglas

Mother of mercy, what happened to this girl? I guess you can blame 50 Cent, because his badmouthing of Murder Inc. led to her obscurity while that hypocrite's music is all over the place. But don't **** on this choice. Ashanti has a bubbly personality (i.e. charisma, required for acting), kicked some ass in Resident Evil: Extinction, and is a beautiful black princess. Give her some martial arts lessons and sword training, and she could nail the role of Spider-Man's bad-ass granddaughter.
