Cast the new DCU

[WatchProtect]

How do people know "when" someone starts following someone else? Is it strictly people watching a new name pop-up or is there a legitimate way to know?

Im also not on the Adria Wonder Woman train. She's a fine actress but she lacks a certain grit? Maybe. I've never wanted to be that guy when it comes to castings, but I don't see her portraying the character further than a better acted version of Gal's.

 

[Sawyer]

Better then Adria Arjona, that for sure.

I’ll never get over that cover Superman/Batman cover image. It looks like one or both of them are going in for a kiss.

But yeah, anyone who was aspecting a WW who towers over Corenswet was fooling themselves. Even if we end up doing New Gods stuff, I imagine that Barda will be a Lord of the Rings kind of situation with how she’s filmed.

I'll never understand why fans use images from a particular comic book run to demonstrate that something is always true in the first place. Outside of DC: The New Frontier, Wonder Woman is rarely—if ever—shown to be taller than Superman and Batman. And Batman and Superman are often depicted as being around the same height. So, whatever.

You mean Cap doesn't have a quadruple barreled chest?

Doc Shaner got it right:

 

[Sawyer]

Doumit’s got the best look for Diana, I just wish she was taller.

 

[Sawyer]

That’s Diana idgaf.

I have been thinking about wonder woman casting a lot lately. I'm probably more eager to find out who wonder woman will be over batman. but I can't think of anyone in particular that I am rooting for.

Maybe I am alone, but I would prefer someone who looks athletic/fit over someone who is tall. Most actresses are just skinny, not fit. I want someone who has actually been to the gym and not just skinny due to lack of eating. Obviously acting ability, talent and fitting the vision is most important, but I would love to see a physically fit wonder woman.

I have to be realistic because no actress is going to get to the level of someone like Katy O Brian

I wouldn't mind her as wonder woman, but maybe more likely a big barda.

I don't know how achievable Jessica Biel's physique is for the average woman, but her build/body type is pretty much perfection

Alicia Vikander is an actress who is in great shape. I recall her being good in Ex Machina

Out of all the popular choices I keep seeing, Adria Arjona seems like she is in pretty good shape.

I know this is all pretty superficial stuff, but i would love to normalize strong women.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

It’s not necessary for her to be jacked IMO, but I wouldn’t doubt if Gunn goes that route. He’s fine with casting people who may not be the best all around actors but can still work in specific roles

My current "Top 5" for WW... get them all in for screen tests:

Elizabeth Debicki, age 34 - 6'3
Charlee Fraser, age 28 - 5'11
Claudia Doumit, age 32 - 5'8
Adria Ajorna, age 32 - 5'7
Monica Barbaro, age 34 - 5'7

Monica Barbaro will next be seen in James Mangold's A Complete Unknown alongside Timothee Chalamet

 

[BobJM]

Tbh, if height isn't the end-all-be-all, then lets put Ana de Armas back into consideration.

I don't mind if WW isn't as tall as Superman (or Batman), but she shouldn't be 5'1 like our Hawkgirl or 5'3 like our Lois Lane.

 

[Sawyer]

Hi, hello, can I interest you all in a Black Canary?

Before everyone starts fancasting him, Jack Nicholson's son as the DCU Joker

I swear to Lucifer if Gunn doesn't stick with the battle skirt for Diana.

NO MORE DEAD COPS JOKERS!

Barry is all we need.

Still think we could do better.

Don’t you dare…

I am on the Adam Driver for Joker train.

If they ever make a Fourth World film, she would be a perfect Lashina.
