BvS The Alfred Pennyworth Casting Thread

[ThePowerCosmic]

Simon Callow for a deadpan Alfred like in Batman: TAS.

Timothy Dalton for more the former MI6-type Alfred.

Both great suggestions. t:

 

[sahin]

Christopher Plummer

 

[Two-Face]

Stephen Fry

Does he even act anymore? Lol

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Plummer would keel over while filming. Guy's 83.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Brosnan

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Brosnan

You stay the f**k outta here, Rodrigo. This ain't your turf, punk!

 

[Rodrigo90]

It is now

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

It is now

You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boy's hole.

 

[Rodrigo90]

How much?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Dammit, Rodrigo. I forget how much you go along with jokes. You're supposed to be disturbed! Okay, you seem mentally deranged enough already. Welllllcome.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Thank you, my friend

 

[Deserana]

Does he even act anymore? Lol

He was in Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. And if you are looking for the quintessential British gentleman (which seems to be how Alfred is usually depicted now) then look no further

I like this Hugh Laurie suggestion. I can dig it.

I want a different take from what we've seen with Gough and Cain in the last two series.

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Controversial Opinion Time: I like Caine but he wasn't playing Alfred, Aflred to me.

Bill Nighy all the way - just look at him in 'about time' trailer

I'm actually all kinds of intrigued by the Dalton suggestion, that could actually be really awesome.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

back in the old days, I truly believe gary oldman could've been ****ing perfect as the joker.

but atleast we got a perfect Gordon out of him , so I guess it didn't turn out that bad.

not gonna lie, the weirdest part about having a new batman franchise for me will be not having Oldman as Gordon.

 

[Vaibow]

How so?

I thought that too.. i always imagined alfred as being, well, to put it crudely, posh! Like an ex army major, that was used more of a body guard to the Wayne Snrs than anything else - he was there to assist, be a father figure when Bruce was alone in the house - perhaps he knew his father well and over time a bond was created and hence, he was written in as god parent/next of kin etc

 

[Vaibow]

Who ever gets the role, should be cast as a minder/personal assistant rather than a black tie/suit wearing butler - times have changed.

I still want Bill Nighy, 2nd choice be Dalton - think Brosnan would be too distracting - i always liked him as Bond and would be wanting him to save the day

 

[ArmsHeldOut]

Alfred dies in this movie during the first scene. They never show his face.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Alan Rickman

 

[Knightstalker]

Timothy Dalton would be so awesome as Alfred. Although the idea of Stephen Fry as Alfred does have a certain appeal haha. He was great as Jeeves
