*The New Superhero Cinematic Civil War Thread - Part 61

[Pennywise]

He's been collecting bat blood since first getting cast for that movie and doesn't want it to go to waste.

Sounds like something Jared Leto would do too!

His Joker will adopt our favorite Elseworlds one.

Not to be the nerd in the room but that’s actually more an elseworlds Batman than an elseworlds Joker. That’s what happened when Batman killed the Joker.

You're on this site, so too late for that.

I forgot he was cast in that movie, lol. What a bullet dodged there, lol.

Looking at the cast, it's like a mixed bag of dodged bullets and some that would have been cool to see.

Armie Hammer, Megan Gale and DJ Cotrona as the trinity probably would have made Cavill, Affleck and Gadot look like the definitive versions of those characters. Hammer would have been way too young anyway since he'd have been around 21-22 when this was in development. Teresa Palmer as Talia was also just a wild choice apart from being too young. Jay Baruchel would have also been too young for Max Lord.

Common as John, Hugh Keays-Byrne as J'onn and Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman could have been interesting but I'm having a hard time picturing it.

The best casting decisions for that by far were all Flash related: Adam Brody as Barry (who deserved better than being second banana to Levi in the Shazam movies), Anton Yelchin as Wally, and Zoe Kazan as Iris.

DJ Cotrona sounds like some d-bag who got hired to spin at the worst New Year’s Eve party you’ve ever been to.

 

[kguillou]

Justice League Mortal would have been a wild crazy ass movie that probably would have underperformed at the BO but probably been a glorious cult classic.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I'm personally still mad that Sofia Falcone didn't get the Golden Globe.



Milioti's real supervillain origin story is warranted.

 

[Mysteryman]

Keep it that way.

Will Do.
Thanks for the tip!

Always wanted to see that film.
Pity.

I totally understood why they were pushing a JL movie right out the gate seeing how popular the DCAU JL show was. I was more surprised the lineup featured Aquaman instead of Hawkgirl.

Lest we forget that he was Flint in GI Joe

And the resemblance was uncanny

Did kid you collect GI Joes?

My dad saved a few for me, I never got into it.

I had some. They were cool toys.

I got my first lesson in deceptive marketing with GI Joes. I owned a couple of them. Then one day, while my mom was at the grocery, I remember walking to the toy store that was next door. I was probably around 7 or 8. I saw a Destro action figure and the package read “With swivel arm battle grip!” So I saved up my money until I could buy the thing, thinking that the “swivel arm battle grip” was some kind of awesome weapon. But when I bought it, it turned out that it just meant that his forearm could rotate. I remember thinking that I’d been swindled.

James, my buddy, you have know idea just how much people revere some of the legends stuff.

If true, Multiverse variant? The son from Wakanda Forever in a time jump?

Then again, take it with some salt, considering it’s Sneider!

Ha!

You just unlocked a memory for me. When I was little I had that Stretch Armstrong villain toy, Vac Man. Dude, the commercial was like you could pump him up and stretch him to hell, but as soon as I tried that with the actual toy, that damn thing broke!



Such BS.

I think this is the right call and what they need to do. I have to believe its what Chadwick would have wanted too, for the character to live on. I think Coogler absolutely made the right call to pay tribute to Chadwick and not recast for Wakanda Forever but its time for T'challa to make his triumphant return. I mean, that would be such a cathartic way to end the BP trilogy, wouldn't it? The Return of the King.

I’ve always been curious what the film would have been like.

I hope you all watch Severance here, but if you don't I feel the need to spread the word of it.

This show is SO good.

Even back then I was skeptical about them casting unknowns as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman but I would have been there on opening weekend for sure.

 

[BoredGuy]

I'd say, hopefully, both
T'Challa Jr, but from an alt world where he is aged up to full adulthood
I still feel like T'Challa is Chad's legacy, leave it to him, but have your cake and eat it too by aging up the kid via the multiverse

I remember as a teen when the cast was announced, the only ones I were familiar with was Brody and Baruchel.
