Cast the new DCU

After seeing the trailer for Rebel Ridge, I’m starting to think Aaron Pierre could be the one for John.

Having seen the movie, he's so incredibly perfect. He was basically John Stewart in that movie minus the GL ring.

And his John Sweart will beat those allegations that the character is boring.

 
Olyphant and Pierre. Lock it in, y’all.
Would be great. I dont mind Brolin but of rumoured names hes my least preferred. Get him for Deathstroke instead. Hopefully rumours of them going for a younger actor for Stewart arent true and they pick someone like Pierre or David Jonsson.
 
If we’re ever lucky enough to get into the New Gods, I feel like Jack Lowden has a good look for Orion…

I like batista, I think he's solid. But I'm not quite sure I've seen him play a nuanced enough role to convince me he could deliver on a role like Hugo Strange.
 
I've seen it, everyone talked up his performance there but I really didn't find anything special with it. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad or anything, but I don't think it particularly outstanding.
 
Hey you did say nuanced, he can play subtle if the script allows him.
 
We don’t really need it (and Gunn certainly doesn’t need Alan Moore placing a curse on his entire bloodline by making it), but it’s been bouncing around my head and I’ve gotta get it off my chest…

It is really hard for me to picture Gyllenhaal’s voice coming from the Comedian. And I’m a fan of his acting for sure.

Hey, if I could withstand both live action and animation deciding to give Rorschach the Christian Bale voice…
 
Oh Goddammit, why did I go for Josh O’Connor as Dan Dreiberg when I should’ve cast Lewis Pullman?? 😫
 
Seeing Angela Sarafyan popping up in Gunn’s IG likes and then her getting likes from some of the Superman cast has me really curious what her role is in all this.

I still suspect she might be Lara…

Yeah, I definitely think she's involved in some capacity. The Tom King follow was the first clue that convinced me. Other things, like her recent interaction with de Faria, only reinforce that sentiment.
 
Angela Sarafyan would also work as Zatanna.
 
Considering she’s already voicing the role and the inkling I have that Quaid would kill it, I’m kind of getting live action Kite-Man and Golden Glider from those two.
 
I’m curious now with Kyle Chandler as Hal if anyone’s rethinking their other choices. Given Chandler can still pass for early/mid 50s, I’m thinkin…

Carol - Winona Ryder (52)
Sinestro - Guy Pearce (56)
Ollie - Bradley Cooper (49)
Dinah - Emily Blunt (41)
Barry - Ryan Gosling (43)

Winona Ryder’s pretty great. Good call.
