BvS The Alfred Pennyworth Casting Thread

[chamber-music]

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

If you want an Alfred like the one from Batman TAS then Simon Callow is perfect casting

 

[Zeus]

Nighy is a good choice

 

[Gianakin_]

Wow, I never realised how much Callow looked like TAS Alfred.

 

[Klidokrator]

Timothy Dalton. Just that.

 

[PacificBoy]

Jackie Chan, the quintessential Chinese butler. (If Perry White is Black...)

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

this guy is still my #1 choice

Rickman has the charm, personality, and dry witty sense of humor to make an excellent Alfred

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I've gotta say, Hugh Laurie is an interesting idea. I'm not entirely sold, but still interesting...

 

[Deserana]

They have to give Alfred something to do I remember Caine saying he wasn't gonna accept the role in Nolan's film until he read the script and saw that Alfred was actually quite a fundamental part to the film. Okay some will take it for the paycheck but I can't see people like Rickman taking it if the role isn't strong enough...

 

[Lily Adler]

I thought we all agreed Rickman was Brainiac. Screw Cumberbatch.

 

[Derrick9592]

If he wasn't retired from acting, I think Sean Connery would have been an awesome Alfred, but oh well. Anyways, I was thinking maybe Ciaran Hinds would make a great Alfred.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Alan Rickman as Alfred or Brainiac

 

[The Watchman]

Hugh Laurie as a younger ex-MI6 field capable Alfred -Beware the Batman-esque or Earth One

John Cleese as a more classic, humorous Alfred

 

[Deserana]

It's a Snyder film no doubt if Alfred is included he will be a bad ash.

 

[Superman Earth1]

To be honest I think Alfred should be the only person from Batman's world in this movie besides the villain if this is to be a true or supposed sequel to MOS as they claim.

I would like to see Robin, but if this is Batman just starting up again then Robin can't be included once again. Now if they jump ahead say 5 years or what have you and Superman is established and Batman is established then they can include Robin as a small background character. But I really only see Bruce and Alfred being in the movie...along with a villain of course. Now which villain I don't know

 

[MrMaooz]

bad place no to Robin showing up at any point in this cinematic universe!

 

[KillerCarlson]

i like the Hugh laurie suggestion

Give him a chance man lol

 

[Two-Face]

Give him a chance man lol

Not this movie, when there's so much going on in the film. I think he can sit this one out.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

bad place no to Robin showing up at any point in this cinematic universe!

we had a piss poor excuse for Robin in the last Batman movie...I want a good Robin. Not some cop

 

[Eddie Dean]

I want a German Alfred - Werner Herzog.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Michael Caine really wants to play him again, dunno if Nolan would put a stop to it though.

 

[bjt]

Matt Frewer

 

[Airwings]

I dig the Timothy suggestion very much. He's probably the best ex-007 for the role. If we don't want Lazenby, that is (lol)
Moore's too aged by now, and Connery retired 10 years ago. Brosnan's run as leading man/action hero is too close to present day, sort of.
