Casting the DC Universe - Part 1

[CaptainWagner]

Why? I feel like he can be easily brought to the big screen,. and his powers are probably the "coolest" among all JL members. The idea of one big space corps if you will patrolling the entire galaxy just sounds epic and if done right could be insanely successful.

^^^This. Also,

Martian Manhunter

 

[Mandon Knight]

^^^This. Also,

Martian Manhunter

Would have him as Jon (GL) but he needs to be in DCEU for sure....

 

[Tg11]

David Oyelowo now he would be my pick for Martian Manhunter or if not as a DCEU villain

 

[Logan0327]

WB/DC needs to watch Vikings they already have the perfect green arrow and black canary for them to cast

 

[Tg11]

Travis Fimmel he is the perfect pick for Oliver Queen/Green Arrow but as for who Black Canary should be:

I would go with Sienna Miller as Black Canary

 

[CaptainWagner]

The Question/Jake Gyllenhaal

 

[regwec]

Was there any point in posting a side-by-side likeness?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Well, it's for us to see the absolute spot-on resemblance, obviously.

 

[Tg11]

I would go with Jude Law as The Question

 

[CaptainWagner]

Was there any point in posting a side-by-side likeness?

Just out of habit, I guess.

Also, just because The Question is awesome. t:

 

[Rowsdower!]

Please. The Question is one of those characters like Superman where you have to find someone with a striking physical resemblance. They should only be looking at no-faced actors.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Is that chick from The Neverending Story 2 still around? She'd be perfect.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Good one! But if not her, Madonna might still be able to pull it off.

 

[Rodrigo90]

No objections from me... but only if she whips out her boobs... say what you want about train-wreckage-self, but her boobs are still pretty sweet

 

[Gabe99]

GL needs to be changed as much as possible in order to work.

Lance Reddick as Martian Manhunter:

 

[CaptainWagner]

So now Channing Tatum is rumored to be leaving Gambit for the DCEU. What role do you guys think he could take?

I'm thinking Shazam is the obvious choice, with Guy Gardner and Captain Cold also options.

All good.

I think he could pull off Hal Jordan too.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I think he'd be a good fit for Shazam. Plus, I think him and the Rock are friends so maybe it will happen.

 

[Logan0327]

[CaptainWagner]

Coming up with a Rogues Lineup to face The Flash: (Excluding the obvious Jai Courtney/Captain Boomerang)

Captain Cold:James Roday

Heatwave: Dule Hill

While neither of them have quite the star power CBM villains usually shoot for, together they mark the reunion of one of the most beloved, fan-focused shows of recent years, certainly enough to garner attention. Roday brings his personal charisma and suavely manipulative persona to the Rogue's leader, while Hill could brilliantly transform into the troubled pyromaniac who really just want to get help, but can't avoid setting things on fire. Best of all, these two's talents and creative sensibilities would gel perfectly with Famuyiwa's directing.

Weather Wizard:Ken Leung

Trickster:Will Poulter

Golden Glider:Abigail Breslin

Filling out the ranks, you have Weather Wizard, one of the Rogues with a bit of a darker side. Leung can certainly pull that off, his minor role in X3 was suitably creepy, but he has shown in his recurring guest spot on Person of Interest that he is also quite capable of of the comic timing needed to keep up with his teammates. Poulter is a rising star with a similar knack for blending seriously intimidating with cracking wise. Both not only have the ability to be convincing villains on their own, but also be witty enough to avoid being overshadowed by their leaders. Lastly, Captain Cold's dear sister, Lisa. First off, there's not going to be any sort of dumb "gold gun" this time around. As somewhat the heart and soul of the team, Breslin could excel. Like Poulter, she's a rising star who can be both serious and funny, and adds another bright young actor to the universe of the DCEU's most youthful hero.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Mirror Master:Morgan Spector

Lastly, there's Mirror Master. Although I'd use Scudder's name, I'd integrate bits of McCulloch's past and violent tendencies to prep him to go a bit crazy after gaining full access to the Mirror Dimension and becoming the movie's Big Bad. To play the part is character actor Morgan Spector, very effective at playing villains while still managing to seem decent enough to ride with the Rogues. He could really use a big break, and playing the Flash's first main threat is just what he needs. And it gets us a great Mirror Master to boot!

 

[Jake Cassidy]

WB/DC needs to watch Vikings they already have the perfect green arrow and black canary for them to cast

 

[David H.]

Kristofer Hivju is apparently playing an ancient Atlantean king in JLA but I kind of wish he was playing Stappenwolf.

 

[sabetoonth]

where'd ya hear that?
