Wally West Casting and Discussion Thread

[MadVillainy]

I got the okay from Hunter Rider to do this

Honestly I wanted to make this thread so that people who want to talk about Wally West can do it without having someone trying to debate about Wally vs Barry. So if you want to debate please take it to the other Flash thread

Anyway, in a Flash film who do you think can pull off playing Wally West?

 

[Webhead2006]

hmmm i am not really sure who i would pick for wally. For me i would first need to know what direction the character would be in for a flash film series. Is he just a young guy pre powers/just developing powers. Or is he already flash and is an adult? Cause either way there is two different ways the role could be cast.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Ryan Reynolds was better suited for Wally than Hal.

 

[Changeling]

Not a big fanof the poll....but Scott Porter FTW

 

[Timstuff]

Scott Porter would definitely be my top choice.

 

[Eddie Dean]

The poll needs some James Roday, but Dustin Milligan or Ryan Kwanten would be good choices.

 

[flash13]

I'm gonna go with Scott Porter though I wouldn't mind Adam Brody or Dustin Milligan.

 

[willemjoker]

There is an actor who was born to play Wally West. Unfortunately, some moron decided to cast him as Green Lantern. Damn you Campbell!

 

[Webhead2006]

ryan was probably never going to do flash after the whole goyer script got rejected and all that. So he decided to move on to other things.

 

[Steve Holt]

scott porter for wally, James Roday for Booster Gold!!

 

[MadVillainy]

I cant believe I forgot about Roday. Psych is like my favorite show

Not a big fanof the poll....but Scott Porter FTW

who would have you added

James Roday or Chris Evans

Scott Porter can't act to save his life. At the very least, he lacks the likeable screen presence and comedic timing to even be considered a decent choice.

Youve said this in the Cap thread and the Wally thread without providing any reason why hes a bad actor. What have you seen him in that makes you think hes a bad actor

Does this mean we can have a Kyle Rayner casting and discussion thread now? Or a Barry Allen one too?

 

[cerealkiller182]

No ones stopping a Kyle Rayner one considering that their is now an entire subsection for Green Lantern it can go in, but isnt Barry's just the official flash thread?

 

[MadVillainy]

Theres a Kyle Rayner thread in the GL forums I think
and no one is stopping you from making a Barry Allen casting thread

 

[GlasgowBat]

i still think rosenbaum(sp?) would be a great choice.

his voice work in DCAU is exemplary, and i can't see a live action adaptation as beyond his capability.

 

[Young Superman]

Scott Porter would definitely be my top choice.

 

[Young Superman]

If DC/WB would make a Wally West Flash movie it should be based on The Flash: Born to Run. It's The Flash: Year One for Wally West.

 

[flash13]

That's my choice as well, still my favorite Flash story ever!

 

[TheWatcher]

Scott Porter!

 

[.: The Cal :.]

Scott Porter, FTW.

 

[Micromind]

I think this is a good combination, for a Flash movie and sequels -

Matthew Bomer = Jay Garrick.

Scott Porter = Barry Allen.

Adam Brody = Wally West.

 

[Webhead2006]

hmmm porter and brody for barry/wally would be an odd mix since they are of simular ages right. Though i said it before it would all count at what age ranges they would want characters to be.
