Talia Al Ghul casting thread

[Mandon Knight]

Should be Berenice Marlohe, to be honest.

She'd be an awesome choice. I know some are saying Sofia Boutella, but she'd be my pick for Cheetah in the WW sequel.

Oh my.

Sofia Boutella pretty much checks all the boxes.

 

[Invader Joker]

If they're circlng back to Justice League Mortal actors and Armie Hammer gets cast as Batman... then I guess Teresa Palmer.

So you would rather have a whitewashed choice than someone of color?

 

[Chip Chipperson]

oh yeah, that girl from the good place would be pretty good casting

I don't see us getting an al Ghul driven film or side plot any time soon though.

I think the next time we see Ra’s or Talia, we’ll see both of them. And I think they’ll go into the Damian storyline, which doesn’t make sense for a younger Batman.

I mean, I'd rather have someone with Middle Eastern features or something to play Talia and Ra's, but seeing how some people are suggesting latinas for Talia...

Most of the time , she's actually depicted as such , visually at least. Teresa Palmer , Gemma Artenton and Paula Patton are good choices IMO.

At least people from Latin America often have mixed ancestries. Salma Hayek I believe is an example of a latina who is partly of Middle-Eastern heritage. Teresa Palmer on the other hand looks like a mix between a Dane and a German.

I gotta say, it's an absolute pain in the butt to try to fancast a race-accurate Talia, especially now that we have an age range for Batman.

And I actually have zero idea on the acting chops on any of the actresses I just mentioned, I just picked the ones that seem to have been in the most interesting number of roles and that have the beautyand sex appeal to pull Talia off.

 

[Tg11]

Naomi Scott especially if it is a younger Bruce/Batman in Reeves' film

Kinda have zero interest in seeing the Al Ghuls for a while, personally. Just seems we've got a lot of them lately, between the Nolan stuff and Arrow and Gotham.

Should sort of build to them in this new continuity I think, like way down the line with a third or fourth or even fifth movie. Start small with mob bosses & lower-level "freaks", Joker maybe in a third movie, get into all the crazy lazarus pits & Ras & his daughter coming back from Bruce's past sometime later on.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Ana De Armas is my pick for Talia. Come at me.
