Kilowog = Dennis Haysbert.

Haysbert is far better suited to Darkseid than Kilowog.

 

[GL's Light]

Haysbert doesn't have enough menace in his voice for Darkseid. Michael Ironside or Powers Boothe are better picks.

 

[TheVileOne]

Yeah because we'll see Darkseid in a movie in less than a million years .

 

[Kokomo29]

Does anyone know who the front runner is for Hal?

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Wouldn't Darkseid just need a voice actor? I always figured he'd be CGI.

They could make the Darkseid CGI similar to Sonny in I Robot or Abe Sapien in Hellboy.

 

[GL's Light]

I would assume Darkseid would be done in CGI.

As for casting, as i said in the other GL thread, the release date has been announced as December 17th - that means that the start date of filming could be a little later in the year - probably in the summer - and some of the actors making other films in the spring might be available by then.

I could not disagree more, his voice is perfection for Darkseid. They are not better picks IMO

6 months ago, you might have said the same thing about Kilowog

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Kilowog should be played by Brendan Gleeson.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Look back a page.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

watch Brendan Gleeson in 28 Days Later. He can pull it off, plus he's a helluvan actor.

 

[Johnny Drama]

Hal Jordan - Joshua Jackson
Sinestro - Jeremy Irons
Kyle Rayner - Milo Ventimiglia
Carol Ferris - Jordana Brewster
Kilowog - Dennis Haysbert
John Stewart - Chiwetel Ejiofor
Abin Sur - Doug Jones
Guy Gardner - Sean Willam Scott

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Kerr Smith for Kyle Rayner.

 

[REDophile]

Hal Jordan - Joshua Jackson
Sinestro - Jeremy Irons
Kyle Rayner - Milo Ventimiglia
Carol Ferris - Jordana Brewster
Kilowog - Dennis Haysbert
John Stewart - Chiwetel Ejiofor
Abin Sur - Doug Jones
Guy Gardner - Sean Willam Scott

I like these picks! Joshua Jackson and Jordana Brewster would be great.

The WB should be close to or already have their Hal and Carol cast. Since second-unit filming is supposed to happen next March in Oz, shouldn't there be an announcement soon?

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Jordana Brewster would be good. She has that good summer blockbuster look without looking like pure arm candy(I'm looking at you Megan Fox).

I'm sure the WB has been looking.(we know Gosling and Bloom were looked at).Depends on how long Campbell has been on the job officially. It's only been two weeks since his name popped up.

When was Bloom brought up? I remember Gosling, and Affleck mentioned.

 

[Johnny Drama]

Either of them would be great!

 

[GL's Light]

When was Bloom brought up?

Moviehole said they'd heard that Bloom had met with Warners about the part.

 

[Lobo]

Thanks. How long ago was that?

 

[BobJM]

I liked the Keri Russell as Carol Ferris suggestion, I might as well post my cast again:

Hal Jordan - Sam Worthington

Carol Ferris - Keri Russell

Sinestro - Mads Mikkelsen

Kilowog - Brendan Gleeson

Hector Hammond - Andy Serkis

Abin Sur - Lance Reddick

Maybe not the most convincing pic of Worthington, but I really like this cast. Sam and Kerri would be perfect!

 

[Kokomo29]

My Hal and Carol

I'm with you, Lobo!!!

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Either of them except Affleck.
