Justice League The Justice League Casting Thread

[Rowsdower!]

I would get behind Arterton, she is one of my favourite choices .

I would definitely get behind Arterton.


Oh, I would also support her playing Wonder Woman, too.

 

[Superman Lives]

This is how I'd align my cast with Marvel's Avengers cast.


Jon Hamm as Batman (Our "RDJ")

Henry Cavill as Superman (Our "Hemsworth")

Jake Gyllenhaal as Green Lantern (Our "Chris Evans")

Bradley Cooper as Flash (Our "Ruffalo")

Jessica Biel as Wonder Woman (Our "ScarJo")

Joel Edgerton as Aquaman (Our "Renner")

 

[Lily Adler]

Are you using The Avengers cast names for comparisons or is that how you want to cast this film, or both?

 

[Superman Lives]

I'm using it for casting purposes, for the sake of building a JL cast on par with the caliber of Marvel's Avengers cast.

IMO they should go with established Hollywood actors who are rising in popularity right now.

 

[TheWatcher]

I think our Batman needs to be younger so we can build a universe around him. I know RDJ is getting old but he looks much younger, Hamm doesn't. Besides that I love it.

 

[Superman Lives]

I'd rather keep this Batman self contained in Justice League, and reboot the solo Batman franchise as a separate thing years from now.

It's too soon to relaunch the solo Batman films right now. Whenever it does happen I want them to be self-contained and of the same grounded Oscar quality of Chris' films.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

If Batman isn't connected, I don't want Superman to be connected. In fact, I'd rather they wait until after Justice League is cancelled/flopped/successfully created a trilogy before they reboot Batman.

 

[Superman Lives]

Yeah Batman is the hottest DC property at Warners. Thanks to Nolan it really transcended the comicbook genre into an Oscar-worthy motion picture series.

Batman deserves it's own separate new film series, but it's way too soon for that now.

Superman? We'll see how financially successful Man of Steel is. It's iffy. It has a lot going against it with that June release date. With it's inevitable 200+ Mil budget, I hope it doesn't underperform below WB's expectations... but it's possible.

Christian Bale - Batman

Henry Cavill - Superman

Idris Elba - John Stewart/Green Lantern

Ryan Gosling - The Flash

Gemma Artreton - Wonder Woman

 

[The Vafrous]

I'm a huge Batman fan, so naturally I put more thought into casting him.
This is my cast:

Superman
-Alexander Skarsgaard: with more muscle and dyed hair (unless they decide to use MOS to set up the JLA movie)

Batman
Fassbender and Hardy are perfect for this role, but obviously they're unlikely to get it. Joe Manganiello recently expressed interest in the role, but I think that he is better suited as Hawkman or Bane or whatever.
-Logan Marshall Green: He's an intense actor, who's name you'll obviously see more often after starring in Prometheus
-Garrett Hedlund: He's a great actor, just watch Death Sentence
-Shane West: Great actor, who happens to have a voice simmilar to Kevin Conroys
-Luke Evans: Great actor, who's been suggested like a million times on here (for a good reason). He'd have to bulk up like hell though
-Desmond Harrington: He plays Quinn on Dexter, and he appeared in TDKR.

Wonder Woman
-Charlotte Riley: She was great in The Take and Wuthering Heights, with her husband Tom Hardy. She'll obviously have to put on some weight.
-Berenice
Marlohe: She looks the part, but I'll have to wait to see Skyfall to make up my mind
-Gemma Arterton

The Flash
-Joel Kinnaman
: He's a great up and coming actor.
-Lee Pace: If he isn't going to be used as Ray Palmer, he should be cast in this role. The guys a great actor...

Aquaman
-Joe Edgerton: Another great up and comer, who would play the scruffy Aquaman to perfection. Hell, I even considered him for Batman

Green Lantern (Hal)
-Chris Pine: Do I need to explain myself?
-Channing Tatum: I know if going to get pissed on for this, but he's acting has gotten better, I think...

Martian Manhunter:
-Anthony Mackie or Benedict Cumberbatch: Honestly, both of these guys are great actors. If Mackie isn't accepted as MM, he should be cast as John Stewart

Green Arrow (the goatee is crucial)
-Charlie Hunnam: I actually considered this guy for Batman. He's also an up and coming actor, who's a great actor (you'll know this if you've watched SOA)
-Travis Fimmel: He was great in The Beast. He's next going to be seen alongside Gabriel Byrne in some viking tv show

I'm still thinking about who to cast as Black Canary,
both the Hawks etc...

Sorry for not putting up pictures, I'm using my phone...

 

[Superman Lives]

Anthony Mackie is taken by Marvel. Isn't he the Falcon?

Either way he'd be completely wrong for MM.


Luke Evans as Batman is good though. He's bound to skyrocket in popularity from the upcoming Hobbit film trilogy. He wouldn't need to bulk up that much. Just give him armor like Keaton.

Mackie hasn't officially cast him yet, so who knows...

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Still, he doesn't seem like a good fit for MM or John Stewart.

Spoiler

Christian Bale - Batman

Henry Cavill - Superman

Idris Elba - John Stewart/Green Lantern

Ryan Gosling - The Flash

Gemma Artreton - Wonder Woman

Sigh, if only.

 

[Superman Lives]

Definitely not for MM. MM should be an older mentor type. Think Morpheus in the Matrix.


And John Stewart isn't in this script, our GL for Justice League is Hal.

 

[Lily Adler]

Which reminds I wanted Laurence Fishburne for MM, before he became Perry White.

 

[Project862006]

i know john is'nt in the script but i would prefer it since to GA john stewart is GL and it would give some diversity to the main cast

 

[Eddie Dean]

When did we get this info?

 

[Majik1387]

We didn't.

 

[Lily Adler]

So it's just conjecture?

 

[HighFivingMF]

So it's just conjecture?

I asked El Mayimbe on Latino Review, who has a copy of the treatment, who the Green Lantern was. It's Hal.

 

[HighFivingMF]

to GA john stewart is GL

Not anymore. Despite the movie's underperforming, more people still saw the movie than ever saw the Justice League cartoon. Plus, Hal's been in everything lately.

Oh, okay then.

 

[TheWatcher]

I would definitely get behind Arterton.

[MarvelKnight]

Whether or not they use RR as Hal and/or keep it connected to GL, I would hope Bassett comes back as Waller.

I'd like to see John Slattery play Agent Faraday.
