Justice League The Justice League Casting Thread - Part 5

Ill look into his interviews, maybe you're right about Stewart.

well I did say I was leaning towards Cyborg I never said flat out "NO" to John Stewart

 

[Midnight Black]

Sure they'll confuse them, if they didn't then they truly are stupid. And I don't think they are.

It's stupid because it's the same universe. Justice League will be looked at as a sequel to a MOS movie. It's beyond ridiculous. Unless it's a different universe and Cavill isn't playing Superman then fine.

They don't get actors to play multiple superheroes in the same franchise that's connected to one another.

That's the thing though....she isn't playing multiple superheroes in the same franchise. She is playing a villain, a supporting role. If her character dies and there is no reason to bring her back and no connection of the character to JL or a WW solo project then there is a chance that she can be used. It's not stupid it's not ridiculous. It's Hollywood. It's money. Okay it is stupid and it is ridiculous LOL, but it is still Hollywood and I wouldn't hold it past them if all of a sudden her star power blew up after this film.

I agree they don't get actors to play multiple superheroes in the same franchise. HOWEVER...if 1. her character is done after MOS 2. she gives the best read 3. whoever directs and produces JL and WW films like her and 4. The Faora and WW characters are never shown together then it is possible!

This may not have been done in a superhero film before but it has been done on and in films.

The GA will get over the same actress playing multiple roles, just as they've gotten over other things before. Simple explanation, "Oh this is JL or the WW film and she is playing WW and not a bad guy." GA, "Oh we understand now...that was a bit confusing but I liked her in MOS and her character died, so all is good."

All I ask is that you just don't rule the possibility out.

I know Joe, I know...was just giving my two cents lol. I felt the same way until I saw the interview.

Ill look into his interviews, maybe you're right about Stewart.

The interview I'm speaking of was from the red carpet/premiere of 42 I believe. His voice seemed deeper and I just thought that I could see him in a green suit lol.

 

[shauner111]

I still don't think it's a possibility lol. Sorry dude . It would be worse than casting JGL as Bruce Wayne right after TDKR for the reboot. It's horrible but at least it's a different universe not a sequel.

Casting Faora as WW would be like bringing JGL back for a fourth Nolan/Bale Batman as a villain like Riddler...after he's played Robin in the same movies.

Plus she's 5'6''. Way too short. I could live with 5'8''-ish with lifts, but 5'6'' is really pushing it.

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

it think that she's 5'6" part is really what throws me off for her as Diana, I think after I said she'd be good for Cheetah as a spur of the moment type thing, I really started thinking about it.....she really would be good for the part plus if they do make-up for her (duh) then that would help the GA disconnect her as Faora

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

Apparently Boseman is really good in 42.

See what a hair cut can do?

 

[shauner111]

Haha yeah but that first pic is so funny, it's like they're twin brothers. I cant take it seriously now. I gotta watch more of him to be set on it but as of now ill say no. Will keep an open mind though. Can he pull off an American accent?

 

[Rodrigo90]

Fair enough
See what a bit more aging will do for him!

I'm not sure. He's Scottish on GOT. But he's pretty good in how he handles his dialect. So it shouldn't be too hard for him.

From The Flash thread:

Charlie Hunnam's face and likeness is apparently being used for The Flash/Barry Allen in the Justice League film's concept art!

I know I've said Ryan Golsing, but he strikes me as a Gosling-esque actor and I think he'd be great for the part!


What do you guys think?

Don't know about you guys, but I see Barry Allen here!! And his eyes would look great in the red cowl, IMO! Sounds like WB's finally gettin' a good head on their shoulders with this!!!

It is no secret that Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures are pleased as punch with director Guillermo Del Toro and his film Pacific Rim. The overall impression from the few test screenings that have already occurred has been very positive. The studio is high on the film and have already commissioned a script for a sequel. They are also all about continuing to be in the Guillermo Del Toro business. The companies have already locked GDT down for another project, Crimson Peak, which is already scheduled to shoot early next year (circa February, tentatively) after he finishes up his Pacific Rim duties and gets the ball rolling on his TV show (The Strain) for FX. Looking even further into the future, WB already has him working on doing the oft-mentioned supernatural superhero team-up Dark Universe (aka Justice League Dark) for them and Legendary Pictures has expressed interest in producing his Gothic western Dumas adaptation Montecristo on down the line (and maybe even At the Mountains of Madness). For the moment, things are truly looking up for Guillermo again.

Another bromance to come out of the Pacific Rim production is that of GDT and star Charlie Hunnam. Del Toro has already cast him in a leading role in Crimson Peak as well and it isn’t too hard to picture him transferring Charlie over again to Dark Universe. After all, he’s a young blonde Brit whom is experienced at playing antiheroes and has a good relationship with the director. He has John Constantine written all over him and I’d be shocked if the thought wasn’t already on Guillermo’s mind.

It seems that Del Toro isn’t the only one with a new-found infatuation for the Sons of Anarchy actor, however. Warner Brothers may have their eyes on Hunnam as well. According to a trusted industry source of mine, the current rumor on the block is that Charlie Hunnam’s likeness is being used for conceptual art on a particular big WB project right now. The film? Justice League. It seems that in the current pieces being drawn up, Charlie is The Flash. Now before we get carried away, let’s take a step back and think about the possibilities here…

#1 – WB is already in discussions with the actor.

While possible, I find it highly unlikely that they would already be attempting to cast one of the “lesser” hero roles in their inevitable super friend flick before they have worked out what the hell they are doing with Batman yet. Honestly, it really depends on when the hell they want this film to hit theaters. 2016? 2017?
#2 – WB is high on the actor right now and are having the artists use his likeness to help sell him on this idea.

This one is a good bit likelier, especially if they want to make JL sooner rather than later.
#3 – An artist (or artists) on the conceptual team is a fan and simply using Charlie’s likeness in their work.

This seems likeliest to me, though the idea could also be coming from a producer or someone else involved.
So what do we take away from this? Firstly, that WB is more than pleased with their July monster vs. robot actioner and that enthusiasm is pushing them to take elements they love within it and move them on to other properties. Second? That they might want to get into the Charlie Hunnam business, especially since the upcoming season of Sons of Anarchy that hits this fall will reportedly be the next to last one. With Hunnam’s schedule conceivably wide open come late 2014, it’s not hard to imagine at least someone trying to hoist him into Hollywood full-time.

Will we see Charlie chain-smoking and chatting it up with Swamp Thing and Etrigan the Demon in Del Toro’s Dark Universe? Or will we see him zipping about in red alongside Wonder Woman and Martian Manhunter? It is simply far too early to tell. Any number of things could happen between now and then…from Pacific Rim and/or Man of Steel underperforming to Hunnam taking up residence elsewhere? Only time will tell. That said, it’s nice to get a picture every once in awhile of where exactly Warner Brothers and DC’s collective heads are at when it comes to bringing characters other than Batman and Superman to the silver screen?

Make it so, WB!

 

[shauner111]

Ill bet a lot of money that he's used for Constantine though. But yeah, he's my next choice after Gosling now. I definitely see it.

 

[Midnight Black]

Charlie for for Flash, Nikolaj for Aquaman (if he makes a cameo).

Yeah no gosling lolt:

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

he can still be bruce. "wanna fight?"

 

[Rodrigo90]

Then where does that leave Madden?

Cavill's stunt double?

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

or clone.

Superboy?

 

[Rodrigo90]

 

[shauner111]

I actually wouldn't mind Gosling as Batman. Im serious. He suits Flash better on the surface no doubt. But after seeing Drive, and now that trailer for Only God Forgives, he would suit the dark, quiet, brooding Bruce Wayne. Dye his hair, slightly change the approach to his voice, and you have Batman.

 

[shauner111]

Heck, maybe Fassbender will be Batman. Im not even sure if there's going to be a third X-Men. And if it is, he'll probably be playing a 50 year old Magneto with makeup and it wont get released for quite a while. He may end up being James Bond in the future, but it's looking like Daniel Craig will be Bond til the decade closes.

So, maybe it can happen..

i want lawrence as wondy, so i wouldn't mind the fass.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Aw

 

[shauner111]

The only reason why I backed off of the Fassbender suggestions, was because of Magneto. But now I see that the new X-men is going a different direction to the point where there may not be a 3rd, or if there is one, it wont happen til the end of the decade. With Fassbender playing such a different character to Wayne, it could work.

He is soooo Bruce Wayne right here it's unreal. He's worked with Snyder in 300, so there's ur easy connection. He's only 35 or I think he turned 36 a week ago or something.
