Justice League The Justice League Casting Thread - Part 4

[Whiskey Tango]

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 ^^.

That's the only reasonable lineup there is, unless you axe Martian Manhunter and Aquaman and just go with the Big Five to start.

SEAN FARIS for new HAL JORDAN

6' feet, tall as Christian Bale, He can be Green Lantern if Christian Bale is Batman.

Ian Somerhalder for the FLASH

 

[Kevin Smith]

**** that ^^. Ian Somerhalder is SO not The Flash, dude. So far from him. Wow, keep him away from the movies.a

 

[Midnight Black]

I like that suggestion of Dave Annable by DRCDarkKnight....however for Flash instead of GL.

Dave Annable= Flash

Josh Duhamel= Hal/GL

Colin Salmon or a similar actor= J'onn/MM

Nikolaj Coster Waldau= Aquaman

Anson Mount=Batman

OR Matt Bomer=Batman

Batman Contenders (Robbie Ammell, Colin Egglesfield, Rick Malambri)

 

[TheTrickster]

Flash - Timothy Olyphant
Green Lantern - Corey Stroll (with a wig :|)

 

[Midnight Black]

Timothy Olyphant for Lex Luthor OR Jude Law.

http://www.imdb.com/media/rm122455296/nm0933940 I like Patrick Wilson for Lex Luthor.

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.

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.

If they want Gosling in this movie as Flash, the way to get it is Bale as Batman and Lawrence as Wonder Woman. You build this up as a movie full of serious, academy award winning actors and it will attract an actor like Gosling.

You cast Matt Bomer as Batman and Alexandra Daddario as Wonder Woman, and you'll be lucky to get a film actor in the role of Flash, much less an academy award nominated one like Gosling.

Cavill, is not a academy award winning actor.

 

[jaymes_e06]

This page is a lot of meh...

 

[Midnight Black]

Well I don't want Gosling or Lawrence or Bale in a new JL film and am fine with casting film or good tv actors that can own the part just as much as a big name like Gosling and Gyllenhaal.

 

[KangConquers]

Cavill, is not a academy award winning actor.

True, but he's already in place, and he's playing a character who is difficult to cast physically, with stringent requirements.

They're not going to cast academy award nominees for Flash and Green Lantern and go for a TV actor for Batman. They're going to cast a great actor for Batman and go with tv actors/ lesser names for Green Lantern and Flash.

No studio is going to waste an actor with Gosling's pedigree on Flash, and give Batman to a USA network actor.

 

[shauner111]

Very true. Gosling can only be Flash if they get Bale or somebody like that for Batman. I absolutely agree with this. But how much money would Gosling be asking for?

 

[IamtheBatman]

Bale should be the one making the most money but if Bale doesn't come on then Cavill should make the most.

I think you give smaller guarantees, along with percentage points and a chance for large growth.

If WB wants to match, or beat Avengers for box office and film quality, they have to win the small battles first. This film needs a great cast of strong all around actors. No more of this "This isn't Shakespeare" ******** attitude. Keep the Jensen Ackles and Alexandra Daddario's away from this film. Treat these characters as prestigious roles that deserve capable thespians. Hire academy award nominated actors, like Lawrence, Gosling and Cooper. Hire a great character actor for Darkseid.

I see so many angry rants on this forum opining the fact that the Justice League should be the preeminent superhero team in the world. How Warners incompetence is what allowed Avengers to get there first. I find it kind of hypocritical that these same people *****ing about Warner Bros incompetence would be fine with Percy Jackson actors playing their precious pop-culture icons.

If fans want that 95% Tomato Meter, 2 Billion grossing Justice League pipe dream to come true, it's not going to be accomplished on the back generic hottie #12, and tall dark and handsome #1. It's going to require some legitimate charisma.

 

[Midnight Black]

F*** gosling!

F*** gylenhaal!

F*** cooper!

LOL

 

[IamtheBatman]

F*** gosling!

F*** gylenhaal!

F*** cooper!

LOL

I can't trust Gyllenhaal as a Superhero the guy played in "Bubble Boy".

I know Cooper did Silver Linings did great in it but to me he will always be remembered for The Hangover Trilogy.

Gosling he is not Batman material.

 

[KangConquers]

I'm all for Cooper as Hal and Gosling as Allen. Those are easily the best choices IMO.

Superman: Henry Cavill
Batman: Christian Bale
Wonder Woman: Jennifer Lawrence or Amber Heard
Green Lantern: Bradley Cooper
Flash: Ryan Gosling

I realize it wont be this A-list type of cast but I can dream

Replace Amber Heard with Rebecca Hall as the WW back up, and I can go with that cast.

 

[KangConquers]

F*** gosling!

F*** gylenhaal!

F*** cooper!

LOL

I'm sorry. I'll start looking for casting choices on the USA network and the CW in order to avoid offending you.

 

[shauner111]

I can't see Lawrence as WW. She's also a part of the Hunger Games franchise and the X-Men franchise. I doubt she'll be adding a third one to the list.

Rebecca Hall is great but I don't see it in her either. I'm of the belief that WB won't be messing with actors who are tied to Marvel's shared universe. That includes popular fancasts like Hayley Atwell, Guy Pearce and Idris Elba.

I'm liking the idea of Amber Heard for Wonder Woman lately.

 

[IamtheBatman]

If Bale doesn't come back I like Luke Evans as Batman.

 

[shauner111]

He's OK at best. I think if they choose someone of his caliber, they need to delay the project and win us over first with a Batman solo movie. They need their Downey Jr for the Batman role if they want to have a successful JL that people will flock to even with a Star Wars & Avengers in cinemas.

But, you have to admit him and Cavill have chemistry knowing that they starred in Immortals together.

Yeah that's a plus for Evans. He's not a bad choice I just can't get excited about it.

I keep going to Nolan and if he is the Producer either its Bale or a British actor to play Batman.
