BvS The Barry Allen/Flash Casting Thread - Part 1

[Rorschach2012]

Actually looking at pics he seems fine body size wise.

And Krasinski is like 6'4. Momoa and Ben Affleck are around that size as well.

If they cast Barry what are the chances we'll end up seeing Wally take his place. And I don't mean way down the road but maybe fairly soon in their cinematic universe. Wally is probably just as popular, even the JL cartoon went with Wally, kinda.

I don't know but that would be cool to see Barry's sacrifice on screen. They were gonna intro Wally and kill Barry off in that planned Justice League Mortal movie a while back, so it may still be possible. This was before the New 52 though, i think they're going to want to keep Hal and Barry as their movie GL and movie Flash.

I think we'll see Wally as Kid Flash on The Flash tv series on the CW first.

I want a Barry that is already in a relationship with Iris and ends up watching Wally for a few hours. Wally doesn't like him and Barry tries to win him over. After Barry saves Wally as The Flash and Wally discovers who Barry really is, Wally starts seeing Barry in a whole new light.

Wow, Krasinski is a really good idea for Flash. Never thought of him, but that would be inspired casting while drawing in a sizable fanbase.

Any thoughts on how they are gonna balance having a TV flash and Movie Flash?

balance what they are different universes

just like they did returns while smallville was going on

Yep I always assumed he was a twig because of how he dressed on the office but looking at some pics online of him with some tighter fitting clothing he seems about right.

Yep that's what I'm thinking too. He's got the everyman quality for Barry, and his onscreen personality seems well suited to The Flash. He's not small either and he could bulk up, but as he is now, I think he's a good size for Barry.
He's not so famous that he'd be too expensive, and like you said , he draws in the Office fanbase.

I really think the Justice League needs some recognizable faces for Green Lantern and The Flash. I'd be pretty disappointed if we got two more complete unknowns and I think that'd be an unwise move. Compare the Justice League cast to The Avengers cast, The Avengers have stars with a lot higher profiles.

The Justice League needs some comic relief and I think GL and The Flash should provide a lot of it.

Intersting. Seeing as Flash can cross universes-maybe even have movie Flash visit Tv Flash universe.

I feel The Flash should be more known than Momoa/Cavill and less known than Ben Affleck.

 

[Lily Adler]

That's silly, you're silly.

 

[Rorschach2012]

That's silly, you're silly.

The cast needs some bigger names I don't think the last names should be unknowns

 

[Lily Adler]

But Babs, they are, they are.

I say a television actor and I mean a drama not a sitcom.

 

[John Locke]

Jesse Spencer from House and Chicago Fire.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Jim from The Office is a solid choice

 

[Lily Adler]

Jesse Spencer from House and Chicago Fire.

He is pretty.

 

[CK_ALL_DAY]

I've been saying John Krasinski for Barry since I can remember. And I want Jensen Ackles for Hal Jordan already. I know neither of these will happen but a guy can dream right?

 

[Lily Adler]

Don't you dare lump John with Ackles.

 

[CK_ALL_DAY]

Don't you dare lump John with Ackles.

But can you imagine those two together in a Flash and Green Lantern team up? That's gold if you ask me.

 

[Lily Adler]

Chris Pine, baby.

 

[CK_ALL_DAY]

Chris Pine, baby.

I like Chris Pine a lot as well. I think he's kind of busy though in another space movie you may have heard of.

 

[Lily Adler]

ST3 can wait.

 

[CK_ALL_DAY]

........still want Jensen
