BvS The Alfred Pennyworth Casting Thread

[TheGospelOfMark]

I vote for Alan Rickman for the voice alone.

 

[Rodrigo90]

You don't understand Alfred.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Don't you know? Brits are allowed to play Americans, not the other way around.

 

[D.P.]

time for some earth one alfred

Yes, yes, yes.

Bill Nighy

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The head says "NO" but the heart says... "Yes." t: Of course it will never happen, so it's no harm no foul if my heart wants to be such a poopy head.

Timothy Dalton

Exclusive: Zack Snyder Eying Timothy Dalton For Alfred In Batman/Superman

This would be consistent with the re-imagined character as portrayed in "Beware the Batman". Dalton has experience playing an MI-6 agent (for crying out loud, he was James Bond) so it would be a perfect fit playing playing Bruce Wayne's bodyguard/butler.

Although that site is unreliable, I've been wanting Tim Dalton or Sam Neill for Alfred for a long long time.

 

[elsewhere]

I love the idea of Timothy Dalton as Alfred.

 

[marvelrobbins]

That would be intresting casting.

I just hope there's no reimaging of alfred.reimaigng things was my big problem with man of steel.

 

[Project862006]

not of fan of change?

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

What about Tommy Lee Jones?

This is from the movie "The Company Men"

Alfred with a texas accent?t:

 

[AnneFan]

Tommy Lee Alfred?

If he gets cast it's nothing but blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah clueless luck!

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Tommy Lee Alfred?

[chamber-music]

I'm not sure I want to see Two-Face play Alfred

 

[Kalonthar]

I'm not sure I want to see Two-Face play Alfred

Arnold Schwarzenegger it is then.

 

[chamber-music]

after all the big mistakes he made when choosing the right roles, which eventually led to his retirement, i think this role could potentially bring him out of it...

Connery has been looking pretty frail lately

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Arnold Schwarzenegger it is then.

Great idea! Imagine Arnold with a thin mustachet:

Get to da batchoppa mastah Broos!

And Mr T should play Jimmy Olsen

 

[Goshdarn Batman]

Connery has been looking pretty frail lately

Wow

 

[Steve Holt]

yep, sadface

 

[Lencho01]

Oh, snap! Corporate synergy...

 

[Krumm]

Oh, snap! Corporate synergy...

Ha. I didn't even know that. I'd think he'd be a cool choice and can bring a little bad-assery to the role. But I also think there are a lot of other capable actors as well.

Agreed. Just need to get someone who can be the father figure Alfred is while showing off his awesome wit.
