The Good Citizens of Metropolis: The Casting Thread

[Sterling Archer]

Since she didn't get Lois, I'd be happy to see Mackey as Jenny Sparks.

I'm sure she'll crop up somewhere in Gunn's universe. Cat Grant? Livewire? Supergirl?

 

[Sawyer]

Now that we officially have a Lois to base this off of, I’m going to say Molly Gordon for Lucy Lane.

John Goodman might make a good Pa kent. I could see Goodman as a Midwestern farmer

 

[Iceman]

I'm sure she'll crop up somewhere in Gunn's universe. Cat Grant? Livewire? Supergirl?

I don’t know if she’d want a lower profile role but she could kill it as a modern Cat Grant.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Pa Kent please

 

[SupermansPal]

Murray Bartlett as Gen Sam Lane, anyone?

Great choice; I’d also be interested in seeing Jessica Henwick take on the role:

Henwick's Authority role to lose as far as I'm concerned is Swift:

I was hoping he could be Midnighter

 

[BobJM]

Agreed. Bartlett for Midnighter & Lee Pace for Apollo

 

[Invader Joker]

Agreed. Bartlett for Midnighter & Lee Pace for Apollo

For Batman

Gonna throw Jamie Dornan or Ben Barnes out there for Jor-El. If we’re getting them at all, I want young Els and old Kents.

 

[flickchick85]

El's in their 30's, Kents in their 50's-60's.

 

[Sawyer]

El's in their 30's, Kents in their 50's-60's.

I’d go about a decade older for the Kents and both of my Jor-El candidates are over 40, but yeah basically.

 

[flickchick85]

I mean, the El's are parents to a newborn, and the Kents are parents to a 20-something, so it's just what makes sense, imo.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

I'd like the kents to be young enough that they could have convinced people that they had Clark in their prime. Just to shake it up a little, plus a younger Johnathan Kent dying of natural causes feels a little more tragic.

 

[Silvermoth]

Agreed. Bartlett for Midnighter & Lee Pace for Apollo

I was hoping for mat bomer for apollo. So many people wanted him for superman for so long it would be such a missed opportunity if he didn’t get Apollo

I would like David Morse and Helen Hunt as Ma and Pa Kent. Especially David Morse. He's an underrated actor, but he's a damn good one. Loved him in The Green Mile. And I just loved Helen Hunt in Pay it Forward and Twister.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

should we get a different set of actor/actress for the young Kents (when they first find baby Kal-El) and older the Kents when Clark is an adult

or just use same for both and make them look different ages with make up or CG

I don't think there'll be any flashbacks in this.

Pa Kent

I can actually see Samara Weaving as Cat Grant.

He's one of my favorites. He's been in a ton of good things, movies and TV.

Eh. I think she deserves a meatier role. And personally, I’m hoping for someone a little more outside-the-box for Cat.

That’s the perfect opportunity for Gunn to use one of his regulars. It’s Karen Gillan for me. She’s got the juice…
