Justice League The Justice League Casting Thread - Part 4

[shauner111]

Now with that said can we please quit mentioning Gyllenhaal, Cooper and Gosling...OMG those three names should not be mentioned anymore for Flash or GL and especially Batman. Give me a break. Was there some movie or flash mob I missed where these three guys became gods and the definitive ideal leading men for any and everything?!?!?

Geez Louise u guys are killing me with these three. I'm surprised we were even able to get Cavill as Supes as much as some of you just keep mentioning this miscast trinity for any and every superhero role. I'd rather Reynolds stay than to have Cooper, Gyllenhaal or Gosling take over as GL...man u guys...

Yes LOL.

I don't know how you think Gosling wouldn't be good for Flash or Cooper wouldn't be good for GL. So I guess we're even on that much.

Reynolds may be a better pick for Hal Jordan but he lost his chance to do it again when he signed on to a goofy take.

Chris Pine is a good choice for Hal but I don't know if its possible to get him.

Gosling will always be my pick for Flash, sorry.

Not saying these guys wouldn't be good in the role. They probably would be...they're actors and darn good ones. But come on lol....it's like they are the only choices alive. As far as the "perfect choices" I definitely don't know about that.

I think Josh Duhammel wouldve made a better Hal/GL than Reynolds and a better Hal/GL than Cooper or Gyllenhaal. Not saying he is a better actor, but I think he would be better for the role....especially in an ensemble cast for a JL film. Dude deserves the leading man action role and has the chops to back it up...just as much as Bale or Cavill did with their films.

As far as Gosling being Flash....yeah I can see it and think he would do a good job. However, there is nothing about the Flash that screams to me Gosling is THE absolute best and only choice or vice-a-versa. I think there are a ton of actors, up and coming and established, that could blow the Flash role out of the park.

Oh and as far as Gyllenhaal is concerned I'm very content on not seeing him in a superhero film for awhile.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I'm not into fancasting actors just because they haven't been suggested before. I'm into suggesting actors that I think would do the best job. in my mind, Cooper as GL and Gosling as Flash are the best two choices I can imagine.

with all due respect, your imagination is limited.

As for this whole Reynolds/Hal thing it's easily retconned. Use John, or Kyle, they could maybe have a brief mention that there was another Lantern, who is off on a mission elsewhere in space.

That's what I said in the beginning too. I would film a set of prequel episodes, about 8 minutes each, setting up the team for JL. For Green Lantern, would follow John Stewart on a typical day, he gets summoned to Oa, meets the guardians, explain what happened to Hal Jordan (missing, presumed dead, that way it leaves the door open for a return as a version of Paralax or something), they give him the ring and explain what is coming to Earth: Darkseid.

 

[IamtheBatman]

I rather see them introduce each member if they did a World's Finest movie.

Yeah, im not saying they're the only ones who should take the role. I agree with you there. I just want Gosling for Flash, even though there probably is a cheaper actor out there who might nail it.

I'd be content with not seeing Gyllenhaal is any movie lol. Not a fan of the guy.

I rather see them introduce each member if they did a World's Finest movie.

It's the best way to go.

They'd only do a World's Finest with Bale I think. I would hint at Flash, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman in the 3rd act of WF. Even 2 out of those 3 would be good enough. Then you do a Justice League with the 5 members.

It makes much more sense this way.

 

[Midnight Black]

IMO the best way to introduce a JL film on short notice, without introducing each character's standalone film or a World's finest with just Bats and Supes or the trinity, is to go the route of LOTR.

If they did a superhero film back to back using the LOTR trilogy formula that would be awesome and the best way of introducing each character, giving them enough time to develop in a film, and not sacrificing the plot/story.

Look at LOTR and the Hobbit. Both franchises were/are able to introduce a huge cast, display personalities and back stories and advanced the plot.

If they do a JL film with a new Batman (cause I really feel that Bale's/Nolan's Batman series ended nicely and does not need to be mixed in with the new MOS and JL) then they could introduce him in the 2nd film of the trilogy and give more screen time to lesser known characters in the first film.

That way we Batman is introduced the GA will know enough about him, but will discover that this is a new Batman, closer to the comics, and will accept the new Batman within the first 15-30mins of him being on screen without having to tell his origin story all over again.

& then after the trilogy is over they can do standoff films or tv shows because they will know what worked or didn't work with the characters. Definitely don't want to have to go through Marvel's routine of three Hulks to get it right.

I want a JL trilogy back-to-back. Make it happen!

 

[IamtheBatman]

All I can say if you see Bale at the end of MOS its on like Donkey Kong for either a WF/JL flick.

That's how they should do it see John Stewart on a Marine base in Afghanistan or Hal Jordan trying to shake off a air-to-ground missile in Afghanistan, Diana in Themyscira, Wally West in the lab where he becomes the Flash, and Martian Manhunter.

 

[IamtheBatman]

So, I was re-watching TDKR and I notice the jets that were flying once Bane takes over Gotham and hit me what if Hal Jordan was in one of those. I'm just throwing it out there What If?

Don't want Wally West over Barry Allen but I agree. That's how you do it.

Hal can always say that he was in one of the jets. Pre-Green Lantern origin. Of course I doubt this would happen. Or if they would ever think of that.

I wonder if they'll try to link Flash's origin (maybe Green Lanterns too) to Superman's arrival on earth. Or should i say Zod's. The spaceships, chemicals, etc. Some kind of accident taking place at a scene where Barry Allen is at. Nolan & Goyer would probably do what they can to use MOS as a trigger for many things on the planet.

And what if the other was Steve Trevor!?

Actually I think having it be Hal or Steve makes the universe too small.

I still wouldn't mind it Hal made a cameo in the WW movie though.

 

[IamtheBatman]

Its best to go the John Stewart rout.

 

[shauner111]

That was my original argument a year or two ago, then I warmed up to Hal. But now I might be getting back to thinking John Stewart is best. If Bale is back I certainly don't want Reynolds and that continuity mixed. And the fans may start thinking it's the same Hal Jordan from the Reynolds movie, just re-cast like Hulk was.

I don't think Hal is that good of an idea anymore.

What if the boys throw Green Lantern off the team altogether and just use Cyborg or Martian Manhunter??

I'm fine with MM but Cyborg is Geoff John's thinking.

 

[shauner111]

Cyborg is good if you're 100 percent building a universe that's leading to a Teen Titans with Dick Grayson and the rest of em'. Choosing Cyborg over Aquaman and especially Green Lantern is more than questionable. So that was just a suggestion. I can care less about Teen Titans right now anyway.

But Martian Manhunter? Didn't ElMay say something like he would be referenced in the Justice League (yes that was for Will Beall's script)? So maybe he would be added instead.

 

[Kevin Smith]

The lineup:

Superman
Batman
Wonder Woman
The Flash (Barry Allen)
Green Lantern (John Stewart...maybe Hal can be salvaged sometime soon but I don't see it happening for a while)
Martian Manhunter
Aquaman (maybe)

I'm fine with that lineup ^^.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

If they went with Cyborg, I wouldn't mind if they ripped the Cyborg story right from the first new 52 JL story, with Cyborg being the one who saves the day by sending Darkseid and co. back through a boom tube (not destroyed, just gone, leaving room for them to come back for the finale JL movie).

I also don't think we need the teen titans. I also think that name is ridiculous.

Also, Hal Jordan and Barry Allen, or John Stewart and Wally West.

Personally I'd like JL to give us the former, and for JL 2 or 3 to give the latter. However, I know that studios would rather build their franchises around one face, rather than switching mid-way, promoting Kid-Flash to Flash for the 2nd or 3rd Flash movie.

 

[erehwon0]

I enjoyed Johns new take on the relaunched Justice League, BUT thought the ending of that particular storyline was a bit of a cop out! It was great up until the ending! It was just too easy. It was them winning by sheer luck!

 

[DRCDarkKnight]

Batman - Have no clue (Tom Hardy)
Superman - Cavill
Wonder Woman - Rachael Taylor
Green Lantern - Liam Hemsworth or Dave Annable
Flash - Alan Ritchson
MM - Giancarlo Esposito
Cyborg - Sinqua Walls
Aquaman - Nikolaj Coster Waldau
Joker - Ben Foster
Lex Luthor - Jude Law (Drops mic and walks away)
I know you guys hate my Alan Ritchson pick but can i atleast get some feedback on my other pics? BTW I think Duhamel looks the part but i didnt like him in Fire with Fire as an action star. He was very ...... John Cena.

 

[shauner111]

Hardy? Hemsworth?

50/50 on this casting. I like Sinqua Walls, Nikolaj, Besn Foster and Jude Law.

I think Ben Foster would do well as Joker and is very similar to Heath as far as acting goes. Jude is a good choice for Lex. I would also like it if he bulked up too....never seen him bald though.

I enjoyed Duhamel in the Transformer films, Las Vegas, and a few other films he has been in. I haven't seen Fire with Fire though.

Rachel Taylor is a good option too. She is sexy and has some feistiness to her. She would make a good WW (IMO) or Black Canary.

I definitely want to see her, Jessica Barth, Diana Agron, Demi Lovato, Victoria Justice, Jane Levy, Carly Chaikin, Christina Hendricks, Lea Michelle, Naya Rivera, Heather Morris, Paula Patton, Olivia Wilde, Lyndsy Fonseca, Isla Fisher, Rachel McAdams, Minka Kelly, Annie Llonzeh, Mila Kunis, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Alice Eve and Pippa Black (the twin of Alice Eve lol) in a DC or Marvel superhero film.

Edit: Dave Annable would make a better FLash than GL IMO.

I'm of this mentality.
