The Official Flash Casting Thread

For Barry, I honestly can see Joel McHale.

Joel McHale would make a good Flash/Barry.
I would like to see Neil Patrick Harris

YEa i still would like to see porter at least get a shot testing for barry/flash if it does get to production stage this time within the next yr or so.

Neil as the voice of Flash for a DTV project? Yes, definitely.

Neil as a live action Flash?

 

[TheWatcher]

^Exactly.

i see nothing wrong with neil in live action. Though he is what mid/late 30s right. So probably out of the age range they will be likely going with. Though we still need to know what characters will be used, and then character age(and the age range they will be looking for).

 

[Young Superman]

How about Jensen Ackles as Barry Allen / The Flash?

 

[Webhead2006]

i wouldnt mind if he tested. ackles, porter, rudd, would be 4 i would be fine to be barry.

 

[Man of Steel]

Bruce Greenwood for Jay Garrick
Michael Weatherly as Barry Allen
Scott Porter as Wally West

Everyone's been suggesting Joel McHale and Paul Rudd, Neil is younger than Joel by 2 years, and Rudd by 5.

 

[Webhead2006]

ah i didnt know their ages my mistake.

Those are just fan's choices for the roles though. We're talking about what age range the filmmaker's & studio would go after. And I'm pretty certain that they're going to want someone who is the 28-32 range like Bale was 4 begins and Reynolds is for GL.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i agree casting age range for actors for any of these upcoming dc films will probably be 24-34 yrs old. Though they probably want to find someone in the 28-30 range.

My first choice for Iris is still Kate Mara but just watched a movie that had a new interesting possibility:

Amy Adams


I think that she could do a good job given a chance. Nominated for two Oscars and could definitely play a stong female character if offered the opportunity. Plus she's just absolutely gorgeous.

A lot of people see her has being too doe-eyed and sweet, etc. But I love this quote from her: "It's interesting to be perceived as innocent. I misbehave."

I agree. Amy Adams NEEDS to do a superhero movie. I can see her as Iris, alright!

would love to see her.
