The OFFICIAL Flash Casting Thread

[The Major]

Bradley Cooper for the Hunter Zolomon Zoom.

For the original Zoom aka Reverse Flash, whoever plays Barry (preferably Ryan Gosling for me at this point).

Always seen Hunter as someone who would look more like a crazy guy then Cooper.

That's why I like Bacon in the role. I could see him really being mentally unbalanced enough to think he was doing the right thing to hurt Flash to make him "better" while still looking like an insane threat anybody would be afraid of if he came looking for them.

I may be wrong about Cooper, of course. I've only seen him in Wedding Crashers and Alias. He just seems like a better Guy Gardner candidate to me.

I can actually see Bradley Cooper pulling off a decent Wally West.

but a better Guy Gardner

On second thought, I agree with you. This guys is totally Gardner!

Never liked Wedding Crashers or fred Clause...just cuz he made a movie about a guy in a red suit doesn't make him right for Flash. I really hope he doesn't make Flash. ...Or hopefully we'll find out more on what his vision is soon.

sorry for the messy post.

Cooper might actually not do a bad job with Zoom. Although I'm so used to him playing such a good guy. Big Alias fan here. He did a great job on it..... I would definitely be willing to give him a chance.

Does anyone know if Mark Strong can pull off an American accent? After seeing "RocknRolla" tonight, I have to say he could be another potential candidate for Captain Cold, if you're wanting to skew slightly younger.

How was it?

 

[Keyser Soze]

How was it?

Oh, it was ace!

Depends on whether or not you liked "Lock, Stock" and "Snatch", because it's largely more of the same. I personally loved them, particularly "Snatch". So I enjoyed "RocknRolla" a good deal.

 

[Zephyr Alexian]

Adam Brody?! Why is he even mentioned?

Ryan Gosling? Oh, now there's something to that. He's got chops. I don't know why he decided to leave Jackson's latest project, but I'm sure he'd make a great Flash. If Jason Lewis could act, he would make the perfect Flash, but since that's a requirement, he's impossible. As long as Owen Wilson doesn't get this part somehow, I'm cool with a really talented thespian whom the general public doesn't know.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Jeremy Renner as Barry Allen

Go see the Hurt Locker, you'll fall in love with this guy.

 

[Webhead2006]

He looks very familar to me. I know i probably seen him in something else.

 

[Sky Captain]

He probably only wants to do his dancing teen movies (which I may or may not have seen) but Robert Hoffman (III), definitely has the look of Wally, and could probably pull off the personality too. His YouTube stuff shows his sense of humor.

 

[batlovescatDC]

Is there any way I can edit this poll to add more options or is that a done deal, no can do?

 

[Changeling]

I dunno about Hoffmann. I say stick to Scott Porter

 

[Kevin Smith]

double post

 

[Kevin Smith]

Eobard Thawne wasn't Barry's twin that's Malcolm Thawne/Colbat Blue

doh! my bad.

 

[Keyser Soze]

You know, folks, you are allowed to consider people who don't have naturally ginger hair when casting Wally West. It really opens up the playing field...

 

[Keyser Soze]

So nice I said it twice!

 

[Keyser Soze]

Thrice!

LOL!

It's all in the complexion I says. For both Barry and Wally, whoever plays them must have the right complexion. hair and eyes can be fixed, complexion, IMO, can't.
