BvS The Barry Allen/Flash Casting Thread

[Rowsdower!]

I don't understand Pine and Gyllenhaal for Barry. Those two are both much better suited for Hal Jordan.

I don't understand the Hal suggestion for either of them. Kyle Raynor, maybe.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

I see Jake G more as Kyle Raynor also than Hal.

Jake G as Barry Allen/The Flash for me though. Aint gonna happen however.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Seriously? Chris Pine has already played a character like Hal and looks just like the character. Jake Gyllenhaal looks a lot like Hal Jordan as well.

Chris Pine and Jake G were some of the most popular fan suggestions pre Ryan Reynolds for Hal.

Jake G in Prisoners and Source Code convinced me he makes a great hero, and the type of hero he played in both of those were a lot more in line with Hal than Barry.

Both of those actors are much more similar to Hal than they are Barry

 

[Kevin Smith]

These are the reasons why I think Jake G would nail it as Barry Allen. He has the range necessary to bring those characteristics of Barry/Flash to life on the big screen.

I could see Gyllenhaal working.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Course if you cast Jake G there's your other "Spider-Man" connection as people say he and Toby Maguire could be brothers... :-P

(Although I don't think their resemblance is that strong...I could see someone saying they could be cousins, maybe, barely, if even that...)

agreed. don't get cooper either.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I could see Gyllenhaal working.

well he aint at this moment.

 

[NosfeRomas]

They could't get Cooper even if they wanted to, he Rocket Raccoon over at Marvel Studios. I don't think GL is in their plans though. I can see them using MM, Cyborg or even Hawkman rather than trying to revive GL on film.

 

[Airwings]

Mazzello is still my no 1 pick

 

[Sub-Zero]

jimmy smits? regardless of what white actor we say, el told us they were looking at hispanic actors for this role. he's always right guys. c'mon.

heh.

 

[Derrick9592]

I like all of the actors being listed here but like I said before, none of them will end up playing the part so I think we should start getting more creative with our casting ideas, myself included. We all know they'll end up pulling some random name out of a hat anyways that none of us saw coming, haha.

I agree. It's got to be someone that no one ever saw it coming. Since they say they're looking for hispanic actors for Flash.

Gael Garcia Bernal
Michael Trevino
Victor Rasuk
Diego Boneta
Santiago Cabrera

 

[Airwings]

How come they are so focused on making him latino? Does it makes sense in the story, or are they changing just for the sake of it?
Diego Luna may be the best choice, if they go that way.

Changing Flash to a latino just makes zero sense when you have a latino Green Lantern who was extremely popular in the 90's and 00's comics.

I really hope this isn't true and it's not because I'm against the idea of different races playing superheroes. It's because it reeks of boneheaded WB execs trying to play a race card numbers game to get as much mainstream appeal to the film as possible.

If you want a latino member of the JLA then WRITE KYLE RAYNER INTO THE SCRIPT.

If you want a black member of the JLA then WRITE JOHN STEWART IN

Not much of what Warner Brothers do makes any sense.

True. As of late anyway especially.

 

[The_Manhunter]

OK I'm not sure if many will agree with me but I thought Gustin was great. I want him as Barry.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

OK I'm not sure if many will agree with me but I thought Gustin was great. I want him as Barry.

quite a few agree with you.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Yeah i thought he did well. Can't wait to see The Flash TV show.

don't shoot the messenger. it's what el taught me. if you're wrong, never admit it, and talk about what you were right about. oh ya and jimmy smits for flash.

 

[goh78]

What's this talk of changing the Flash to a Latino? That's ****ing ridiculous. And no I'm not being ethnically insensitive - the Flash is simply not Latino.

Barrillo Allen?

 

[regwec]

Apparently he is based on Speedy Gonzalez.

Is there any reason to believe The Flash will appear in the film?
