He'll Cancel the Pizzas: The Alfred Pennyworth Thread

[Shadowstrife]

I like the Mark Rylance suggestion, but he's almost guaranteed to play the new Gandalf (or Radagast) in Amazon's LOTR. I'd bet money on it.

... Huh?

 

[Shadowstrife]

^ Mark Rylance was suggested for Alfred on page 1.

 

[David H.]

I think the “huh?” referred to the Gandalf thing.

I hope DC keeps Jeremy Irons as Alfred

 

[Sawyer]

 

[Eddie Dean]

Do it!

 

[Boy Scout]

Make it so.

 

[David H.]

Would that it were so simple?

 

[Boom]

Sadly him saying that is the kiss of death for him actually getting the part.

Not necessarily. Tom Holland said he wanted to be Spider-Man long before he got the role. Not the same situation but still

 

[Gamma Goliath]

So Ralph Fiennes wants to be Alfred. Hes got my vote.

 

[batman_1989_]

He'd be wasted IMO.

Hed be better as Brainiac

 

[DKDetective]

He'd be great, but he already voiced Alfred in The Lego Batman Movie, which is another kiss of death for him.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I say who cares?

 

[Lencho01]

The video...

 

[Tg11]

Lord Voldemort himself playing Alfred...Ralph Fiennes gets my vote especially now that he says he would love to play Alfred

If they don't keep Irons, let's get Pierce Brosnan in there. I like the meta quality of having a legit former Bond as Alfred as a hat tip to his SAS history. I think Brosnan also has the wit to contend with Caine and Irons' renditions and maintain that gentleman's gentleman facade.

He’s pretty much the ideal choice. He’s a guy that can obviously play a rougher Alfred, but also convey the warmth like Caine did so well.

If they're going with a younger Batman, Alfred should be in the 50-60 age range.
Ralph Fiennes, Hugh Laurie and Daniel Craig are ideal for me

 

[Aximili86]

I think I'd like Ralph a million times more as an actor if he just stopped trying to convince people his name's pronounced "Ray". You're "Ralph", dammit, shut up already.

 

[Sawyer]

Eddie Izzard. We need a sardonic, cross-dressing Alfred in our lives.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Eddie Izzard for Granny Goodness.
