The All New and Improved Batman Reboot Casting Thread

[Oagnew281]

One of my favourite actors is Matthew McConaughey but I often find he signs up for projects that I’m not interested in watching.

I would love for Matt Reeves to cast him in a sequel or spin-off. What character could you see him playing in this universe?

He would’ve been good for Two Face but I’d prefer someone around Pattinson’s age tbh

McConaughey could be an interesting dark horse pick for Deacon Blackfire if you go with a Southern tent revival preacher-like interpretation for the character…

 

[BobJM]

I tend to think Peters is a bit overrated too, but Ryan Murphy seems to like him.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

They've made each other's career what it is now so it makes sense.

 

[Sawyer]

Watching Cloverfield on AMC right now. It’s a shame that Reeves doesn’t really seem to have a recurring group of actors (aside from Keri Russell being Felicity and then doing one of the Apes movies), because I wouldn’t mind seeing some of these folks pop up in supporting roles.

Not TJ Miller, so much. But… the rest.

Lizzy Caplan would make for a great Gilda Dent.

Olivia Cooke would be better

 

[Lautox]

Jesse Plemons as Pyg

 

[Drizzle]

Olivia Cooke would be better

Funny you mention her since I was thinking she'd make for a good Ivy but she'd be a great Gilda too.

she could could be great as both but its more likely we see Gilda in the sequel playing an important role

 

[Eddie Dean]

I predict Gilda Dent will never be seen in live action

I predict YOU will never be seen in live action.

I need my indie/horror darlings in Reeves' Gotham, even in non-Rogues roles;

Mia Goth
Rohan Campbell
Myha'la Herrold
LaKeith Stanfield
Brittany Snow
Christopher Abbott
Keke Palmer
Jessie Buckley
Ben Rosenfield
Isabelle Fuhrman

...probably a hard get, but also Greta Gerwig.

She must be the next Batman villain. I’ll be very disappointed if it’s not her (even more so if she somehow ends up in a Sony Spider-Man spin-off, which feels weirdly plausible.)

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Mia Goth is easily my choice for Harley Quinn opposite Barry’s Joker. It’s a no-brainer IMO.

Gender swapped Clayface. Has that ever happened in the comics?

 

[AndyTrevino]

Crane: Matt Smith, Ralph Ineson, or Caleb Landry-Jones.

Pyg: Jesse Plemons (only if he's able to pull off an Italian accent), Glenn Fleshler (shame he was already in Joker)

Clayface: No idea.

 

[poncholuke]

would love glenn howerton for Scarecrow and james spader for Professor Pyg

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Yes Lady Clayface. I am all for a gender swapped Clayface, I think Elizabeth Moss or Toni Collette would be my picks for Lady Clayface.

I don't think Howerton fits the rest of the cast and he's not creepy enough.

 

[Lautox]

Crane: Matt Smith, Ralph Ineson, or Caleb Landry-Jones.

Pyg: Jesse Plemons (only if he's able to pull off an Italian accent), Glenn Fleshler (shame he was already in Joker)

Clayface: No idea.

Clayface-Claes Bang

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Claes Bang for Mad Monk

 

[Lautox]

My picks for Clayface are:

Claes Bang
Stephen Dorff
Rufus Sewell
Adrien Brody
Vince Vaugn

 

[Jordan Elliot]

I thought about Claes Bang as Karlo as well. He’s got those Hammer horror movie looks.
