Tessa Thompson

If only...

If only...

I would kinda dig it! If you'll excuse me, I'm on a bit of a Tessa Thompson kick right now, where I basically want ehr to play every woman in the DCEU, like Lois and Ivy... And now Barbara! I've got it bad.

I'm on a bit of a Tessa Thompson kick right now

We all are.

 

[Tg11]

However, it wouldn't be practical. Tessa is a part of the Marvel cinematic universe playing Valkyrie and Marvel has much as said that for any actor or actress to try to cross over to play a character in the DCEU is frowned upon. I am quoting Marvel like real s***.

Now as for who could play Selina Kyle/Catwoman realistically:

My contenders would be as follows as far as actresses who haven't played a role in the MCU or DCEU:

- Rebecca Ferguson
- Kate Beckinsale
- Eva Green
- Gugu Mbatha Raw
- Eva Mendes
- Alexander Daddario
- Sofia Boutella
- Olivia Wilde
- Paula Patton
- Emily Blunt

 

[Kane52630]

Angela Sarafyan

 

[Deck Rickard]

Interesting choice. Not sure she quite has the acting chops to pull it off, though she is good on Westworld.

 

[David H.]

Evan Rachel Wood - Kate Kane
Ed Harris - Jacob Kane
Tessa Thompson - Renee Montoya
Angela Sarafyan - Huntress
James Marsden - Bruce Wayne
Thandie Newton - Selina Kyle
Anthony Hopkins - Alfred
Jeffrey Wright - Lucius Fox
Shannon Woodward - Barbara Gordon
Jimmi Simpson - The Riddler

 

[Tg11]

Rebecca Ferguson or Sofia Boutella

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

If Affleck stays, Carla Gugino.

 

[Deck Rickard]

If they keep Batman older, Carla would be a good choice. I could also see Thandie Newton or Carmen Ejogo.

 

[Kane52630]

Interesting choice. Not sure she quite has the acting chops to pull it off, though she is good on Westworld.

She's got acting chops... she was great in The Promise.

Morena Baccarin Vanessa herself of Deadpool fame as the new Selina Kyle/Catwoman I wouldn't have a problem with that

 

[Aximili86]

Baccarin's awesome and all, she's somehow too obvious for Selina though, not sure I'd want it. She seems really "ask 500 fanboys, whoever gets the most votes is who we'll cast" type of thing.

 

[Black Narcissus]

That ain't a bad thing, bald man.

 

[Aximili86]

It's not, in and of itself. She obviously has the look, and she's about the right age and a decent enough actor. I dunno, she just seems like "fancasting 101" - though I guess so was Bale, and that worked out.

And "bald man"? :P Nah, more of a damn dirty rocker 'get a haircut, hippie!'.

I feel the same way. Same for Kate Beckinsale, Eva Green fancasts.

I love Ben as Bruce, Jason as Arthur etc. Those weren't very obvious choice to me, but it worked. It would feel like to a downgrade for me, if the DC Films start to cast the popular fancasts now.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, Kate and Eva are great too, but they do always get fancasted for just about everything.

Honestly casting for this all sort of depends on which direction they go for Bruce.

I don't know. Morena's already on Gotham (plus Deadpool) even though I think I saw Ben in a couple fancasts, It used to be Jessica Biel and Charlize Theron were the choices for everything around here.

 

[unholyrevenger]

Save Eva Green for Jeanette in the inevitable SS vs Secret 6 movie

 

[Deck Rickard]

Anyone else watching Killing Eve on BBC America? Kinda young but I think Jodie Comer could be an interesting Catwoman or Poison Ivy.

 

[Poppy]

I don't know. Morena's already on Gotham (plus Deadpool) even though I think I saw Ben in a couple fancasts, It used to be Jessica Biel and Charlize Theron were the choices for everything around here.

Really? Jessica Biel? I've never seen it.

Well, since Ben has been casted, Eva Green and Morena were alway the first choices on my timeline. Black hair + thin nose = Selina apparently .

The more I think about it, the more I'd like to see Emily Blunt as Selina.

 

[batdude]

Biel was everywhere on the hype for a while before Snyder. I might go Jessica Alba if we stay with Ben. If we went younger, Lindsey Morgan from the 100 or Kat Graham.
