The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[tyler-durden]

I'm all for going with an actor nobody would expect, but come on.....

On a side note, I'm so utterly disgusted with the whole "Hey..I'm a rapper...therefore I'm an actor!" trend. I'll stop ranting now.


BTW, has anyone thought of Simon Pegg for Riddler?

Mos def was an actor before he started rapping

Mos was an actor way before he was a rapper.

And the last time Pegg played a villain he sucked.

 

[Simon Dark]

Mos was an actor way before he was a rapper.

And the last time Pegg played a villain he sucked.

That's why I said "On a side note" rather than "On a similar note".

When has Pegg played a villain? I've only seen him in comedies.

 

[Simon Dark]

I'd like to see Gary Sinese (or however you spell his name) as a Batman villain. Anyone remember Ransom? He was a great bad guy in that.

He played the Editor on an episode of Doctor Who

Im standing by my choice of Mos Def instead of the rest of the suggestions who are just actors who would be playing their most memorable characters but in a question mark suit.

 

[tyler-durden]

Affleck and Ribisi really haven't played characters like the riddler before even though I have seen them do the whole obsessive thing.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Wow, Mos Def. Bat "fans" never cease to surprise me.

I'd be up for him as "Mad Hatter", only because I think the idea of Mad Hatter as a low level, throwaway pimp could be interesting, especially since I don't feel the "white guy obsessed with 'Alice in Wonderland'" works much in these films.

 

[Matt.S99]

She's come up about twice in this thread but what about Christina Hendricks as Poison Ivy?

I havent voiced her as Ivy,but she was always in the back of my mind for Ivy! Glad to see someone else who like Hendricks!

 

[MrQuinn]

Danny Trejo for Bane!

 

[nolan's roll'n]

Depp as the Joker
Jolie as Catwoman
Day Lewis as the Riddler

Read my sig, it says it all.

 

[Matt.S99]

Danny Trejo for Bane!

Not built enough, too old and too short. But Trejo is one hell of an underrated actor.

 

[MrQuinn]

Not built enough, too old and too short. But Trejo is one hell of an underrated actor.

definitely too old, but I just like the idea. My vision was that he would be pre-"hulk" Bane, however, so the built thing wouldn't be an issue, until later. If they can make Tyler Mane the monster he was in Halloween (I'm sorry but he wasn't that big as Sabretooth) I think they could do it for other people.

but anyways....Danny Trejo is cool. haha.

 

[regwec]

I have come some way to supporting Depp as The Joker, mostly because the strength of Heath's portrayal proabably necessitates any recast to take the form of a tribute via mimickery, and only an actor of Depp's talent and "seniority" could prevent that from seeming cheap.

 

[Drizzle]

Mos Def can't act though.

Yes he can.

 

[MrQuinn]

Yes he can.

I think I've only seen him (very briefly at that) in one movie...I believe a scene from 16 Blocks. He seemed fine but it's clearly nothing I can truly judge him on. What would be a good role to see Mos Def in, that shows his talent?

 

[marukisu]

Ok im black and i hate when people do this.

What in the hell is wrong with you people!!!! The Riddler is a white man and Mos Def is black. Unless he pulls a "Reverse Robert Downey Jr." and becomes white then this role is not meant for him. And even if he did do that he should be played by a white person. This suggestion is almost like saying Storm from the X men should be played by Angelina Jolie....well she did play a black person in that one movie BUT STILL!!!! my point is it didnt work for Halle Berry in Catwoman so why the Hell would it work for Mos Def as the Riddler?

 

[Captain_BluTac]

I know, this is a controversial choice (Majik wouldn't shut up about how much he hated it) But I definitely see Marcia Cross as Ivy (despite her being a little old)

She would be the perfect Cougar Ivy, other than that, I think Rose McGowan is another actress very suited to the part.

 

[marukisu]

edit

 

[marukisu]

lol well i am in agreeance with Majik. Marcia is too old ugly and tired to be Ivy and whileRose Mcgowan could pull off an Ivy look her acting skills arent that great.

 

[Matt.S99]

yes she is old, but she is definetly NOT ugly, at all. She would work well if they go for an older ivy.

 

[MrQuinn]

yes she is old, but she is definetly NOT ugly, at all. She would work well if they go for an older ivy.

they should save her for a batman movie based on the Alex Ross universe haha.

 

[marukisu]

I guess..but just like Isla Fisher is too younfor Ivy she is WAYYYY To old looking. Id rather have someone in the looks department that is older than Isla and younger than Marcia

 

[tyler-durden]

like Amy Adams or Hendricks they seem like good choices for Ivy

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Amy Adams would make a better Harley. Have he do her typical sweet and ernest character, except she's secretly killing people. Could work.
