Cast the Marvel Universe

[wuzzy41123]

I don't get the Jason Isaacs as Norman Osborn. Was there a film where Jason was American as apple pie? And can he do the voice? I hear from the grapevine that he would rock as Mister Sinister. Gary Sinise, triple-threat extraordinaire (actor/producer of CSI, and a singer to boot), will be Norman Osborn in my eyes.

Gary Sinise would be a good Norman Osborn too. If you go to these links you will be able to see what I mean. Jason is also the exact same height as Norman.

What do you think of my other choices? Are they any good?

 

[wuzzy41123]

Five Best Marvel Casting Choices in my opinion (in no particular order):

Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner

J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson

 

[Karelia]

I think Brad Pitt as Bob Reynolds/The Sentry could work. Possibly.

THE GIANT-SIZE X-MEN RECRUITS

HAVOK - GARRETT HEDLUND

POLARIS - AMANDA SEYFRIED

WOLVERINE - CHRISTIAN KANE

STORM = GUGU MBATHA-RAW

NIGHTCRAWLER - JACKSON RATHBONE

THUNDERBIRD - MICHAEL SPEARS

COLOSSUS - CORY MONTIETH

BANSHEE - KEVIN MCKIDD

SUNFIRE - TAKESHI KANESHIRO

 

[MarvelComix85]

I haven't read Giant-Size X-Men, but I do like the cast. Again, I'm saving Christian Kane for Alexander Pierce for a future S.H.I.E.L.D./Secret Warriors fancast because, I've said, a recent design of Pierce was based off of Kane's character on Leverage.

Garrett Hedlund would make an interesting Nova. He's nearly the same height, and is still young enough to play a teen.

There's a character in the Ghost Rider comics called Sara the Caretaker, which Amanda Seyfried bears a strong resemblance to.

Seems like someone took down the picture of your choice for Storm.

I hear Jackson Rathbone being a popular choice for Nightcrawler. If he can speak German (or is German, a plus!), he's got the role.

If your casting Michael Spears as John Proudstar, then perfect! Because Mike is the oldest of the Spears brothers, and Eddie would make a good James Proudstar. Who cares if he's tall or not, at least the fact that they're brothers in real life makes for a strong casting decision.

No comments on Corey Monteith.

I think if they move on with an X-Men 4 (with the rights returned to Marvel!), I'd cast Sean Patrick Flannery as Banshee. It'd be like an older version since X-Men: First Class. Sean is of Irish decent, knows some martial arts, and is the right height last I know. I wouldn't mind Kevin McKidd, however.

Interesting choice for Sunfire. I never heard of this guy.

 

[MarvelComix85]

Angel (Warren Worthington III) - Ryan Phillipe

Scorpion (Carmilla Black) - Jessica Lowndes

Sharon Carter - Maggie Grace

Spider-***** - Ashanti Douglas

Valkyrie - Jaime King

 

[hugekent]

That's got to be the most attractive cast I've ever seen.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

MarvelComix85, do you honestly see Leelee, in full Black Cat costume, hitting on Andy Garfield?

 

[MarvelComix85]

MarvelComix85, do you honestly see Leelee, in full Black Cat costume, hitting on Andy Garfield?

Here's what I learned from IMDB: Enjoys painting, ceramics, poetry, martial arts and horseback riding. I chose her because of how tall she is (she's 5'10") and her knowledge of fighting. Plus, she can act, and has an amazing cleavage (like Black Cat). C'mon.

 

[Donnie Darko]

That's got to be the most attractive cast I've ever seen.

Yes, especially the Alec Baldwin part.

 

[MarvelComix85]

That's got to be the most attractive cast I've ever seen.

Thanks, man. I'll go into my reasoning why I chose them:

I think I wanna to see an X-Men 4, but some of the characters have aged. But, like many others, I'd love to see Angel recast. Ryan Phillipe is a cool mother****er (he's a Howard Stern fan), looks like if Ben Foster aged a few years, and can act.

I chose Leelee Sobieski as Black Cat because I found out for a fact that she takes up martial arts for a hobby. And seeing that she's tall as Felicia Hardy, it's a perfect match.

Lady Hawkeye is similar to the Taskmaster, someone who can learn various fighting moves on the spot. Ashley Greene knows martial arts, is relatively young, and has the right look.

Alec Baldwin has the larger-than-life persona needed to portray Mysterio, not to mention he's the perfect height.

If Ian Somerholder can learn how to speak British, and I bet you he can, then he'd make for the perfect Pete Wisdom.

I found the Gemma Arterton choice on some website. She looks the part and can play women of mystery. And since Magneto in the movies is British, who better to play Mags' daughter than Gemma.

Jessica Lowndes looks like a girl who would know how to kick some ass. And Carmilla Black's adventures began when she was a high school student, so it'd make perfect sense to cast a young enough actress in the role. Plus, all Canadian actresses are talented and hot even (unless the rumors are true that Jess got breast implants and some facial surgery).

There's a shot of Sharon Carter in the comics that does the same pose as Maggie Grace did in the picture I displayed. And since Maggie's handling guns in Faster, I think she'd make a perfect love interest to Chris Evans,

Ashanti knew her way around apocalyptic movies (Resident Evil: Extinction) and played a scandalous biotch (John Tucker Must Die). That makes her more than eligible to play Hawkeye's evil daughter in an Old Man Logan movie.

Jaime King's pretty underrated, in my eyes. As Valkyrie, Jaime has the look, she knows how to fight (Bulletproof Monk), and played a tree-dwelling hippie in Without a Paddle that would remind one of how the Asgardians act.

 

[Young Superman]

How about Diane Kruger as Carol Danvers / Ms. Marvel?

How about Diane Kruger as Carol Danvers / Ms. Marvel?

If she knows martial arts, maybe.

What do you think of my cast above?

 

[Young Superman]

If she knows martial arts, maybe.

What do you think of my cast above?

That's some good casting. I really like your picks for Sharon Carter, Mysterioand Enchantress.

 

[WillardNation]

If she knows martial arts, maybe.

Very few actors know martial arts before they sign on to a movie that involves martial arts. They learn what they need to know.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

DEFENDERS

HULK = MARK RUFFALO

DOCTOR STRANGE = JOHNNY DEPP (UNORIGINAL, I KNOW!)

SILVER SURFER = ZACHARY QUINTO

NAMOR = JONATHAN RHYS MEYERS

 

[hugekent]

Yes, especially the Alec Baldwin part.

Definitely. I've grown more and more attracted to him as he's gotten fatter over the years.

But that is really a good-looking cast. Gemma Arteton is stunning, I love Ashley Greene's look, Jaime King is a hugely underrated hottie and the rest are pretty decent, at worst.

 

[hugekent]

Kitty Pride - Lyndsy Fonseca

I've seen her name thrown around a lot for superhero roles since Kick Ass, mostly because of her looks and everyone wanting to see her in latex. But I think Kitty Pryde, or one of the younger less sexed-up characters suit her much better.

 

[Donnie Darko]

And I doubt those skin-tight pants she wore in Hot Tub Time Machine hurt her cause.

 

[MarvelComix85]

Definitely. I've grown more and more attracted to him as he's gotten fatter over the years.

But that is really a good-looking cast. Gemma Arteton is stunning, I love Ashley Greene's look, Jaime King is a hugely underrated hottie and the rest are pretty decent, at worst.

Er, what do you mean?

Meanwhile, I appreciate everyone' comments. I love that people think it was a great-looking cast. And they're all talented.

I'm surprised no one commented on my other original choices, like Jane Krakowski as Enchantress, Seth MacFarlane as Foggy Nelson, Paul Giamatti as Mole Man, and the others.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Jane Krakowski could only play the Enchantress if Tina Fey played Jane Foster.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Jane Krakowski could only play the Enchantress if Tina Fey played Jane Foster.

and perhaps Jack McBrayer as Loki?

 

[Eddie Dean]

I'll add Tracy Morgan as Fandral, Grizz Chapman as Volstagg and Kevin Brown as Hogun. Maybe Rip Torn as Odin.

 

[MarvelComix85]

Lots of sarcasm here. I chose Jane Krakowski, because her acting style on 30 Rock is very show-offy and larger-than-life, almost like Enchantress. It's a left-field choice, but Jane has a chance to curtail Jenna Maroney and make it into something unique as Amora.

By the way, I see Kevin Brown (Dotcom) as Kingpin for an Old Man Logan movie. I could just hear him saying "***** got old."

Speaking of Jack MacBrayer, he'd make a hell of a pick for Impossible Man.

 

[OptimusPrime114]

OK. I just got done watching Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. 1. Why didn't that movie take over? It was awesome!!!!! 2. Here's a list of the some of the cast members (other than Chris Evans) as Marvel Characters!

BOB AGENT OF HYDRA = MICHAEL CERA

MARY JANE WATSON = MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD

CYCLOPS = BRANDON ROUTH

NOMAD (RIKKI BARNES) = ANNA KENDRICK

JUBILEE = ELLEN WONG

KAROLINA DEAN = BRIE LARSON
