The Good Citizens of Metropolis: The Casting Thread

[Deck Rickard]

Oh okay, I reallyyy like him as Lucius—good call there. My pick in The Batman threads has been Vondie Curtis-Hall (Ben Urich from Daredevil) but Clarke could easily do the role justice.

For Martian Manhunter, I still like Charles Parnell from Top Gun: Maverick:

I like this pick too! Yeah he would be a really good J’onn. He definitely has the voice for it.

Speaking of Maverick, Kosinski would make an amazing Superman movie.

Lana Lang - Victoria Pedretti

 

[GreenKToo]

Ian McShane for Morgan Edge.

 

[Alien Anal]

Ian McShane for Morgan Edge.

Good god I don't want to hear the name Morgan Edge after Superman and Lois.

 

[GreenKToo]

Why? I haven't watched much of that show.

 

[jetage]

Jonny Lee Miller for Perry White

 

[Frodo]

I wouldn't mind Jonny Lee Miller for Brainiac, though I could actually also see him as a snarky and smarmy Lex.

 

[Alien Anal]

Why? I haven't watched much of that show.

The actor for him was pretty crud and TBH I didn't know that Morgan Edge was part of Superman lore and so he just felt like some crappy random bad guy and then because its a series his name is being said constantly over and over that it just became grating to me.

Edge is like the Rupert Murdoch of Metropolis. He's also part of Intergang.

 

[flickchick85]

Edge should be a part of the world as usual, imo.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Whoa Rutger Hauer played Morgan Edge on Smallville???

 

[Maze]

Nobody brought Paul Mescal here. You know the guy who did get the leading role, in Gladiator 2.

Now, I'm not so surprised, that he is not a favourite as Superman, as he is somewhat unconventionnal looking for the role, and he is still an unknow quantity, but m pretty sure, he could be wonderful and unique in the role.

He has a decency in him, and a strong autoritative presence. And overall he is just a great actor, based on "Normal people"

Now, i'm not sure there are many chances to see him get Superman, as he seems not into super heros role, and he has all those opportunities. But he sure has my vote.

 

[Eddie Dean]

It seems he will now be busy filming the new Richard Linklater movie for 20 years.

He was the best iteration of the character IMO

 

[AndrewGilkison]

Whoa Rutger Hauer played Morgan Edge on Smallville???

And was recast by Patrick Bergin.

 

[Boom]

I considered him. For whatever reason he just doesn't strike me as the type that'd be interested.

I like them all except Ortega as Lois.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Not sure I see hodge as luthor. But he'd make a great Steel.

 

[TheScarecrow]

I like them all except Ortega as Lois.

I had Ortega as Supergirl and Maya Hawke as Lois.

 

[batman44]

Does anyone here watch 1923, how about Brandon Sklenar for Superman

 

[Andrew92]

I had Ortega as Supergirl and Maya Hawke as Lois.

Ops, sorry... no issue then

 

[LifesEnd]

considering the big roles hes getting....what about Paul mescal for clark. Personally I think he could nail it...Probably won't be free for it though.
Also I assume fans online might not be into him looks wise.

 

[Frodo]

Lookwise , I could see Mescal as The Flash

Lookwise, Sklenar could be Green Arrow

Novogratz , I actually see more as Shazam! due to his youthful look
