Only Their Knowledge Is Important: The Brainiac Thread

I know this is out of left field as you Americans say but how about Donnie Yen? He has the charisma, the menacing presence (watch once upon a time in china II), the physicality (despite his small stature) and he brings the chinese star power that would help the film's asian B.O.

 

[Babillygunn]

I love Donnie Yen. And while I’d be open to it, I think he’s almost too charismatic. He’s too…human to be Braniac, if that makes sense.

Matt Smith and his five head?!

 

[Sawyer]

Rockwell is an odd choice. He’s great, but I don’t know if he’s the best guy for an intellectual role.

I could see Smith for it. Channel his Doctor energy but make it evil.

 

[Chris B]

I'm intrigued by the idea of Rockwell.

Claes Bang feels like a choice more in line with Gunn's casting history though.

 

[BobJM]

I like the fan casts better tbh but the proof is in the pudding—casting was pretty much a small dunk for me with Superman so I’ll hold judgment

 

[Boom]

It'll be Claes because he's likely the cheapest option.

But he's also coincidentally the best of those three choices. So it works out!

 

[Pennywise]

I’d go with Claes Bang, but Smith would be great too.
