The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[Laderlappen]

What about that old hag from The Devil Wears Prada? I forgot her name.

The old hag? Do you know that Meryl is like the greatest actress of our time? Anyway she's a bit overqualified I think. She's gonna win her 3rd oscar this year by the way.

 

[TLGunfighter]

You know I've only skimmed but I really hope you guys are doing this based on acting skill, not resemblance. The third and possibly last film is far to important to be ruined by a mediocre actor. Some of the choices I could only justify because of the resemblance and nothing more. But some are actually solid choices. At this point its still to soon to speculate, we're not even sure who exactly is going to be the next so I'm not sure who my picks will be just yet.

 

[ClobberingTime]

If it was based on A-Listers...

Clayface - Brad Pitt
Killer Croc - Shia Labeouf
Mr. Freeze - Robert Downey Jr. (A geeky alternative)
Penguin - Robbie Coltrane
Poison Ivy - Keira Knightley
Riddler - Johnny Depp
Two Face - Sylvester Stallone
Bane - Glen Jacobs

 

[Zephyr Alexian]

Jeffrey Donovan - Riddler
Emile Hirsch - The Penguin <not the usual choice, but he has the chops to pull it off.>

 

[OwlBoy]

You know who could be awesome as Leslie Thompkins? Sigourney Weaver!

Dame Judi Dench

 

[WeaponXProject]

I think he was buzzed to be the Joker two years ago but I like Paul Bettany for the Riddler.

 

[dlvillarreal]

Those are some nice casting choices.

 

[Majik1387]

I'd be happy with Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, Judi Dench, or Helen Mirren as Dr. Leslie Thompkins.

 

[Laderlappen]

Someone suggested Ellen Burstyn the last time and she could also be great. I've also been thinking about Sissy Spacek which is one of my top 10, maybe even top 5 fav actresses of all time. But I think Siggy Weaver is my fav choice.

 

[Majik1387]

Wow, I'd like them as well. I didn't think it'd be so easy choosing an actress for Thompkins. I also would have liked to see Maggie Smith in the role.

 

[Sawyer]

Helen Mirren as Leslie Thompkins ftw.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

how about.... Ricky Gervais as The Penguin

 

[Changeling]

(Lame Dr. Evil voice) "How about no, Scott?"

So you would rather have a less qualified actress?

That sure sounds more logical.

 

[shadowdog]

I'd love Sissy Spacek as Lesie Tompkins. She's an amzing actress.

Guy Pierce as the Riddler

 

[Sawyer]

If it was based on A-Listers...

Clayface - Brad Pitt
Killer Croc - Shia Labeouf
Mr. Freeze - Robert Downey Jr. (A geeky alternative)
Penguin - Robbie Coltrane
Poison Ivy - Keira Knightley
Riddler - Johnny Depp
Two Face - Sylvester Stallone
Bane - Glen Jacobs

I just vomited all over my computer screen, thank you.

 

[thundercatsho]

how about.... Ricky Gervais as The Penguin

Nathan Lane instead.

 

[thundercatsho]

If it was based on A-Listers...

Clayface - Brad Pitt
Killer Croc - Shia Labeouf
Mr. Freeze - Robert Downey Jr. (A geeky alternative)
Penguin - Robbie Coltrane
Poison Ivy - Keira Knightley
Riddler - Johnny Depp
Two Face - Sylvester Stallone
Bane - Glen Jacobs

The entire list is repulsive.

 

[Changeling]

Agreed. And no to Nathan Lane.

 

[thundercatsho]

Agreed. And no to Nathan Lane.

Why?

 

[Sawyer]

Why?

Because he's soo wrong for Nolan's movies.

 

[Changeling]

SOOOOOO WRONG. And I am pretty open to a lot of actors. But...Lane....is...just...so...ughh....not Nolan.

 

[thundercatsho]

SOOOOOO WRONG. And I am pretty open to a lot of actors. But...Lane....is...just...so...ughh....not Nolan.

So was Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, and Heath Ledger.

 

[cerealkiller182]

theres plenty of better actors for penguin than lane. David Suchet and Bob Hoskins (in that order) for two (top 2)

 

[Spider-Fan83]

Hector Elizondo as Hugo Strange
