The Dark Knight Rises Casting Call (All Villains)

[Doctor Who]

I didn't just cast him because he's bald. I really think he could do a better job with the character than a lot of other actors out there.

And he just coincidently happens to be bald right?

It's about 30% that he's bald, 70% that I can actually see him pulling off Freeze and doing the character justice. As far as going by looks, it's not just his baldness, IMO his overall facial features and bone structure are a big part too. Plus, he has that awesome voice. Again, about the baldness, that's only a small part of my decision. For example I wouldn't cast Bruce Willis as Freeze just because he's bald, because IMO, he's just not right for the character. IMO, Haley has the total package for Freeze. I could totally see him being a meek scientist in the beginning and then, after his accident, the suit would make his appear much bigger (like RDJ in the IM suits) and he can totally play a badass.

I remember seeing a sketch JMC did of Freeze on his website a while back. I'd love to see a finished product of that.

 

[SuperT]

Looks like a lot of people are casting her as Catwoman or Talia, but I'd cast Emily Blunt to play Dr. Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy.

I think she'd be perfect.

 

[HighFivingMF]

You guys have got to stop casting any and every bald actor for Mr. Freeze. Anybody can shave their head.

Then how about Tom Hardy as Mr. Freeze?

 

[Assassin32]

He seems a lot younger than I usually imagine Freeze.

 

[Wise]

Tony Kebbell as Dead Shot

Stephen Lang as Deathstroke

Javier Bardem as Bane

Brian Dennehy as Rupert Thorne

 

[Two-Face]

I always say this but I want to see Bob Hoskins as The Penguin.

 

[HighFivingMF]

What else has Stephen Lane been in besides Avatar? I thought he was pretty over-the-top and pretty damn bad in that movie yet people keep fan-casting him into more serious parts.

 

[Gianakin_]

He was totally forgettable (but it was a small role) in Public Enemies. He's nothing special, people just suggest him because of Avatar.

Agreed.

He was great as the drunken Ike Clanton in Tombstone. That role was a complete reversal from his toles in Public Enemies and Avatar.

He suits Deathstroke to a tee, not just visually, but his ability to bring a military intensity but with a slightly comical undetone, which I think would be awesome for Slade Wilson.

Is that so? I'll look at him closer next time I watch Tombstone. I wouldn't deem him a bad actor after seeing one performance, even if I thought that performance was pretty bad. Half of that probably had to do with James Cameron's dialogue though.

 

[Ken-Kaniff]

LMAO at the Catwoman manip.

 

[p4poetic]

Yeah, not sure what's going on there...

I like the idea of Marion C. playing Talia (or Catwoman, either is fine). Especially after seeing Inception. She was creepy.

 

[Eddie Nashton]

LMAO at the Catwoman manip.

It was an old manip. I'm a lot better now.

 

[ChrisB]

New interview with Michael Caine. According to him, no one knows the the villain is except for Nolan & his brother.

[Dark Sentinel]

I think Cotillard is much better suited for Talia than Catwoman, especially with her accent.

 

[Avengers-Report]

Edward Norton for Riddler lmao
