I just feel like I need to fancast something today so I'm going to try my hand at the main characters of these netflix series.
Daredevil
Matt Murdock: I feel like the guy needs to be in his early thirties if not younger. With blonde or red hair (not dark). I don't think attractiveness is very important with Matt, as much as physical fitness (very lean and lithe). Unique eyes are a plus. Ended up here:
Eddie Redmayne. I'm not the most familiar with his work, but I hear he's really good and when I saw him in a couple things on Youtube, I think he could handle Matt Murdock
Stick: In my opinion he should be creepy and very odd/mysterious. Almost to the point where you don't trust him, but at the same time you trust him more than anyone else in the series. Came up with:
Crispin Glover. Very underrated actor chalk full of drama, mystique and a tad of humor. Perfect for the sensei.
Elektra Natchios: Pretty important to the Daredevil mythos. Preferably some ethnicity to her. Should be pretty, but again doesn't need to be Maxim cover model. Scratch that, maybe she should. How about:
Olga Kurylenko. Assuming she doesn't end up taking Wonder Woman. Or hell, even if she does. Also very talented actress.
Luke Cage - Oh. Black I guess? lol. But lets see, I was thinking mid-late twenties but as long as he looks younger. Obviously he should be big. At least as big as Thor/Cap. He should also have a masculine confidence.
Isaiah Mustafa. I've always liked this guy. I feel like someone should take a chance and cast him in a lead role. He's 6'4" kinda lean, but I bet he could bulk up for the role.
Jessica Jones - Well... in my research I came across the following suggestion:
Michelle Monaghan. She's not too old is she? Cuz that would be an awesome choice. She's gorgeous.
Danny Rand "Iron Fist" - I think we all know what this guy needs to look and act like. I heard someone somewhere mention the following actor and oddly enough, I agree:
Cam Gigandet. I don't particularly like anything he's been in. But he's not a bad actor and the martial arts skills could definitely and SHOULD definitely come in handy in an Iron Fist series.
And a few others who I want just as a fan:
Wilson Fisk:
Frank Castle:
Marc Spector:
