The Good Citizens of Metropolis: The Casting Thread

Mid 20s to early 30s

Idk, I pretty much guarantee Superman will be younger than Henry Cavill

Yeah, but I’d say it’s clear that a younger actor is more of a by-product of wanting to start fresh than it is the guiding principle.

Essentially, it was less “Oh man, I’d love to keep Henry on, but this story HAS to be about a younger Superman” and more “This has to be a whole new Superman and it just makes sense to go younger.”

I don't disagree.

But this could also be a case of Gunn arguing semantics.

Say they cast an actor who is a year younger than Cavill. Then he wouldn't be lying when he said a "younger Superman" then.

As I've said before. No matter what they claim publicly, this was always about starting fresh. Cavill was damaged goods, and they wanted their own actor to make their own mark.

 

[Invader Joker]

It was probably also about the fact Henry is a terrible actor.

 

[Sawyer]

“Terrible” is excessive, but we can do better.

 

[jetage]

Well that may open up the casting to a larger number of actors. Unless they already have certain actors in mind.

That's for the double negative.

Has anyone suggested Steve Carell for Perry White? Shall I be the first?

Carrell being the boss of a work pace environment might be a bit too similar to something but I can’t place it

Personally I would prefer Ricky Gervais as the new Perry White.

Jenna Fischer as Cat Grant and John Krasinski as Lombard?

Do have to wonder the time frame on the beginning of production and casting. For the actor who will be Superman, generally he may need to be cast first, and earlier than others only in that he may need 6 months or more of gym and diet work to be ready for the role. Some ,if not all of the names being mentioned don't seem ready to quickly assume the role from a physique question.

Also they may need enough time to make sure while the actor is getting into the proper shape, the Superman suit will fit. I believe Chris Hemsworth was ordered to stop working out during the first Thor because his physique was ripping the Thor costume.

Fraser could be fun as White.

Maybe, but no one watched Space Force anyway, so I think we’re in the clear.

 

[jetage]

Sadly,I watched Space Force

 

[Eddie Dean]

Personally I would prefer Ricky Gervais as the new Perry White.

"Oh so you believe in a big blue man flying around in the sky? I thought grown ups didn't believe in fairy stories. Oh, did I offended you? Am I am being offensive? Are you very offended right now?"

[Deck Rickard]

Speaking of former Cheers actors, Ted Danson could make a fun Perry White.

 

[flickchick85]

There are just too many great Perry candidates. I feel like I have a different top pick every day lol.

 

[Sawyer]

Emil Hamilton IMHO.

Well it is corenswet. I used his picture on faceapp as a straight face swap. I currently don't have a ways to use photoshop atm so using faceapp is the best I got atm. Not the best though
