Runaways Casting Thread

[terry78]

Haha, I like the debate in that link about how some are justifying how if Nico was another race it would be fine because her persona would still be intact. Then they bust out the Donald Glover thing, and it jumps off.

Sweet Jesus!

My latest casting choices. Only 2 fall into the age bracket they are looking for going by that last casting call but they all would fit the proper age "look" IMO.

Marcus Carl Franklin (age 17) for Alex Wilder
Brenda Song (age 22) for Nico Minoru
Jennifer Stone (age 17) for Gertie Yorkes
Jason Dolley (age 19) for Chase Stein
Willa Holland (age 19) for Karolina Dean
Elle Fanning (age 12) for Molly Hayes

I don't know if Disney would give it to Brenda Song since I don't think she has ever done a non-comedic role. But she is the only Asian actress I know of from their Disney channel/Family channel group of actors.

PARAMOUNT IS DOING THE FILM lol.. just because MARVEL is owned by DISNEY ... DOES NOT mean that it will be full of disney actors.. its a very ignorant assumption

No this is an independent production of Marvel Studios like IM and Hulk. Paramount may distribute though I don't know why they would bother now that they have access to Disney.

As Marvel Studio's is now owned by Disney they may or may not influence casting.

it wont. and casting disney actors would indeed "kid-ify" it. and furthers moronic fears of disney taking full control over marvel way of doing business.

and disney's real influence wont show till after the projects with paramount are done... and i'm still pretty sure paramount is venturing with marvel studios in this... hell they just had a casting call AT paramount studios for it.

According to this article Paramount is nothing but a distributor. Once the 5 picture deal runs out all Marvel movies will be distributed by Disney.

exactly. that's my point..... it's still in conjuction with paramount like Ironman 1 and 2, thor, cap, and avengers.

Paramount has absolutely no creative control over the movies. They just distribute it after it is done. It is all Marvel Studios or Disney if they choose to use their influence as the new owners.

It is not like the Spiderman or X-Men movies where Sony and Fox has the rights and are actually making the movies and have creative control over them.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

dude.. you're talking to someone who knows all about what's going on... I never said paramount has creative control... and for gods sake, they just had a casting call AT PARAMOUNT. that means nothing about the creative control.

Runaways is going to be awesome! The comic is filled with allusions of the avengers and sheild and stuff so maybe we'll even get cameos by certain avengers!

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Bah let them hate. Jennifer is the right age, has the look and has a sassy sarcastic personality that fits Gert to a T.

I've only seen her on Wizards so I hated the idea but I saw a few interviews. I don't know where you saw sassy, sarcastic, but she's certainly more calm than the goofy characters she plays. I can see it.



Old Lace is going to expensive to make.

 

[Octoberist]

How about Ellen Wong for Nico? (I know, she's Chinese but it doesn't matter for the role)

I didn't find any posts here but the filming will be pushed back two months according to the last official update. This makes March the start of filming instead of next January. source

I don't know what to make of the delay. Scheduling around a particular actor/actress availability? Script issues? Production issues?

it's not delayed. the movie starts filming in march. but the actors needed to be available by january. which makes sense... Costume fittings, script run throughs, etc...

[Job91]

haha, thats sad. i dont think he has what it takes to play alex

 

[GL1]

Please hire actors to act. There are musicians that can act. Romeo Miller is not one of them.

 

[JP]

I wouldn't worry about him.

 

[Job91]

well, i'm pretty sure he's gonna end up with the role

 

[JP]

Doubt it. It's an unwritten rule, you talk about being up for a role/audition for a role... you're most likely not getting it.

 

[Chewy]

Unless you're Jeremy Renner

 

[MadVillainy]

Also he's not a high selling rapper anymore, kids mostly forgot about him, his dad isnt big anymore

I doubt he'll get it
