BvS The Barry Allen/Flash Casting Thread

[Derrick9592]

Matthew Goode might be a good contender for GL/Hal Jordan. He was one of Snyder's runner-ups for Superman.

And his age is at the halfway point between Affleck and Cavill's. And he's 6'2.

And he's hooked up with Lois Lane

I can live with that, dude's a very solid actor. Funny enough he was also a runner-up for Batman before Affleck was cast.

 

[Rowsdower!]

He was? I remember hearing that he was a runner-up for Superman but I'm not sure if that's true.

Yeah he was. He was one of the runner-ups for Batman as well too along with Brolin, Gosling, and the rest.

 

[Rorschach2012]

The actual runner up for Superman was Joe Manganiello. It was down to Manganiello and Cavill at the end. But Goode and Colin O Donoghue were also considered.

you can find the source for this information if you search "manganiello zack snyder" snyder talks about how it was down to Manganiello and Cavill, and he picked Cavill because he was better at portraying innocence.

Cavill is the perfect Superman

But I can't help but think that Goode might have been the perfect Clark Kent.

 

[regwec]

I read that as "Google" might have been the perfect Clark Kent.

I have had far too much coffee.

Google IS the best Clark Kent.

Brings you all the news you want at lightning fast speed.

Agreed. Super solid. I think he could play any number of roles. After seeing him in Stoker I think he'd be a really great villain also of the "play anybody" variety. I guess he already sort of did that with Ozy...

 

[Lily Adler]

Paula Patton IS The Flash!

I wouldn't mind Matthew Goode as Barry.

 

[Wise]

I think Goode would be a decent Barry.

I'd rather Kwanton or Caflin in the role though.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I think Goode would best fit Metallo or Max Lord. I'd rather see him in a villainous role. But it seems like Zack is interested in getting him in the DCU as a hero, i wouldn't be surprised if he's cast as Barry.

I can't help but think some very unkind thoughts about your statement. That man's face is disturbing and him making ungrateful *****ebag statements about past roles doesn't help endear him either. Google as Clark Kent all the way.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, I don't think Goode would have looked right as Clark. But I think he could have made a good Batman.

 

[Bludhaven]

So this just happened

 

[LEVITIKUZ]

[Mad Love]

Sweet!

Where is this coming from?

 

[Rorschach2012]

sooooooo sweet.

and to the man named after a that 70s show reference... the goode speculation comes from him being officially considered for both Batman and Superman, and a report surfaced recently that he may be involved with the film

And Flash's suit looks sweet. He should be movie Flash too.

 

[Lily Adler]

So they're taking the Cap approach with the cowl.

 

[Rorschach2012]

So they're taking the Cap approach with the cowl.

Their cowls have always been the same in the comcs, just dif colors

I see...

 

[Mad Love]

I think it looks better than Cap's because it wraps around his chin. It definitely has some new 52 in it.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I see...

Also, Goode worked with Snyder already

 

[Lily Adler]

I know, it's just that some were speculating if the lightning bolts were going to stick out or be flushed against his cowl like CA:TFA. We haven't seen the front yet, but it's looking like we might get the latter.

Too bad it's just for Arrow/Flash. Would love to see something like this in the movie verse.
