The OFFICIAL Flash Casting Thread

[batlovescatDC]

Who do you think should play the Scarlet Speedster? I personally still think that Ryan Reynolds is the best bet to play the character, but I realize that probably won't happen now because of him playing Deadpool in Wolverine and there is a planned spin-off for Deadpool. So I'm gonna have to say new casting choice would probably be Ryan Gosling.


Edit: The Flash I am speaking of is Wally West, since that is supposed to be the one used in the film in development by David Dobkin. And even if Dobkin doesn't do the film, I think Wally will remain the Flash for the big screen adaptation.

I also wanna hear about the other characters from The Flash universe. Who do you want for the villain(s), and who do you think should play the role? Linda Park, the love interest. And the other supporting characters from The Flash.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Jensen Ackles

 

[The Major]

Adam Brody - Wally West

Anthony Michael Hall, Michael C. Hall, Mark-Paul Gosselaar - Barry Allen

 

[Kevin Smith]

I wish you would have specified which Flash...

(Barry, please)

 

[Keyser Soze]

Adam Brody - Wally West

Anthony Michael Hall, Michael C. Hall, Mark-Paul Gosselaar - Barry Allen

Don't you think Michael C. Hall could be an intriguing choice for Hal Jordan? Kinda against type for Hall, but he's already shown his diversity as an actor.

Exactly the same for all the same reasons

Michael's a good enough actor he could play a few and still be good.

Hall would make a great DD, too.

There was a time when I would have chosen Ryan Reynolds and I still believe he would do a fantastic job but Im definitely leaning more toward

James Roday

 

[az824]

Jensen Ackles

Dont know if i want him for Flash or Hal, i think he has the acting range to play both characters but i think he looks more like Hal so i went with Adam Brody as Flash WW

 

[JokerLedger]

Tom Hanks as Jay Garrick
Ryan Reynolds as Wally West


I have no idea who I would choose to be Barry Allen though.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Before Deadpool, I'd have said Reynolds for Wally.

I therefore go for Ackles.

 

[batlovescatDC]

We aren't gonna get anybody who's been ever been a character on Smallville starring in a DC film. If that was gonna happen, we would already have Welling as the Superman-On-Film.

But anyways, come on guys.... get the posts in here! I know everybody has ideas for who they want to play these characters! Let's hear it!

He would be great for Wally West.

bring back john(tv series flash) shipper as barry allen and have wally west. in the 1st fight have barry allen killed it would make a big impact who would ever think that they would kill the hero off then the film could be about wally west growing in 2 the the flash uniform.
i belive there mite have been talks about this years ago just not john shipper in the film.

 

[Lobo]

I actually think Brody could be a great Wally.

Has Dobkin said anything since getting the Flash director job?

 

[protocida]

Dobkin is no longer directing ''The Flash''.

 

[Lobo]

[Webhead2006]

Rutger Hauer was in Smallville and Batman Begins.

You lose.

and Welling isn't Superman because he DOESN'T WANT TO BE.

 

[Katsuro]

and Welling isn't Superman because he DOESN'T WANT TO BE.

And because he's talentless. Dont forget that.

 

[protocida]

Jay Garrick: John Wesley Shipp.
Barry Allen: Ryan Reynolds.
Wally West: Scott Porter.
Bart Allen: Kyle Galner.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Mark Paul Goselaar<sp> I think he would be good for Wally West.

 

[04nbod]

I recant my vote to instead
Michael Rosenbaum. We know he has the voice of course but look at these

He can do red hair! He's my wally

I said we aren't going to get a Smallville actor STARRING in a DC Comics film. Did he STAR in Batman Begins? No. He was a supporting actor. And the main actors of Smallville that I'm referring to are the ones that have actually played crucial roles in the show..... Welling, Erica Durance, Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Justin Hartley, Jensen Ackles, the one's who's characters are big roles and/or were/are big parts of the show. We will never see them STAR in a DC film.
