The Warriors Three

[marcvader]

No, he's going to be Jonah Hex...

That's right. I forgot about that.

 

[Lobo]

No, he's going to be Jonah Hex...

Why sad face? He'll own as Hex.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Which GL member could you see him as?

Probably Hal. He looks angry enough to want to punch people in the face a lot of the time.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Well everybody wants to punch Batman

I wouldn't like Brolin as Hal

 

[Canis Sapiens]

Why sad face? He'll own as Hex.

Oh, I know he'll be fantastic. It's just that I wanted him to be Hogun...

 

[MilkmanDan]

Fandral - Simon Baker, David Wenham (assuming he hasn't gotten tired of playing supporting roles in sword and sandal movies) or possibly Peter Facinelli.

Hogun - Mark Strong, Garret Dillahunt or Michael Fassbender

Volstagg - Ideally, Gleeson. But for the sake of argument I'll also suggest Jim Beaver from Deadwood and Supernatural (assuming he can do accents).

Mr Beaver is also my back-up choice for Dum Dum Dugan, after Ted Levine.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

That guy is awesome on Supernatural

 

[chiefchirpa]

I predict most of the Warriors 3 would be TV/small name actors to save budget.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

* Fandral
David Wenham

* Hogun
Danny Trejo

* Volstagg
Abraham Benrubi

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Abraham Benrubi's a good choice. He's already got experience being a loud and obnoxious dude from ancient times as Olaf the troll.

 

[FVD]

Seconded on Benrubi. Had to search him up on IMDb and I recognised him right away. Plus he's 6'7" which certainly helps plus he's apparently an avid comic book collector. Branagh cast him.

Danny Trejo is an interesting choice for Hogun. And I'm kinda liking the idea of Oded Fehr too actually the more I think about it.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, Oded Fehr would be a great Hogun. Or, since Hogun's supposed to be one of the older Asgardians, maybe even Arnold Vosloo. Granted, I've never even seen Vosloo with hair, let alone the super-awesome handlebar mustache Hogun always has.

 

[Lobo]

Here you go, Corp. Vosloo with hair, and stache from Forgiven

I'm not sure who I want as my Fandrall just yet, but So far my Warriors Three is

Robbie Coltrane as Volstagg
Arnold Vosloo as Hogun

 

[Franklin Richards]

I want Branaugh for Fandral. He can still be in the film and not overwork himself.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He seems a fair bit older than I'd picture Fandral, but I'd be down with that.

 

[Franklin Richards]

An old guy has more charm and panache'. A little bit of makeup and voila'.


Stud muffins with a foil.

 

[Jerkofwonder]

Brad Pitt for Fandral. I really want to see him in this movie.

Brendon Gleeson for Volstagg

Viggo Mortensen for Hogun.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

An old guy has more charm and panache'. A little bit of makeup and voila'.


Stud muffins with a foil.

He does rock Fandral's facial hair pretty nicely:

 

[louiebling$]

Kenneth Branagh for Fandral the dashing!

Just look at him in Harry Potter.... he could do it... id prefer Ewan McGregor or Cary Elwes

 

[Hypestyle]

..so should prosthetics be used to simulate Volstagg's girth?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Nah, I don't think he needs to be as comically enormous as he is in the comics. Just get a suitably big guy to play him. Someone around Uncle Phil's size on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (sorry, I've been watching reruns lately ).

 

[Philly Phanboy]

How young will these three actors have to be? The ages for the actors suggested are all over the place.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

They're all older than Thor, but they're also gods, so they could potentially be any age, really. A justification could be made either way.

 

[Still A ThorFan]

Single White Thunder God Seeks Volstagg
SpoilerTV have posted what is purported to be an official casting side for the 'Thor' movie. The casting calls for an actor to play the rotund Asgardian Volstagg:

Male. Early to mid 30s. 6'2" or taller. Obese but agile, fun, good-hearted, a warrior but prefers eating over fighting...SUPPORTING; OPEN TO ALL ETHNICITIES.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Hmm, "open to all ethnicities"? I would've thought they'd try to keep the Norse gods looking Norse, but I wouldn't mind a black or hispanic Volstagg. I'd actually prefer an Asian Hogunn, too.
