BvS Who wants John Hurt as Alfred?

[Hordakfan]

I think he should fit the part

 

[Rorschach2012]

Too old, wouldn't be my first choice. But I'd be fine with it, he's a great actor, just a bit of a predictable choice. I'd rather have Alan Rickman

 

[KillerMcQueen]

I'd be on board if nobody had mentioned Dalton, because Dalton is too damn perfect for the part.

Too old? He's 73.

 

[Rorschach2012]

I thought he was 80 something for some reason, nevermind

 

[Bathead]

No. John Cleese.
Period.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Nah, too predictable. He's already played a comic book father figure role in Hellboy.

 

[Human Torch]

William Shatner or go home.

Yeah he looks Michael Caine's age but he's a good age for it.

 

[DeGenerate10]

Need some Timothy Dalton.

 

[Bonesrot]

I thought Ian Holm would be a good option before I googled him and saw how old he's gotten.

 

[Rodrigo90]

That's the trick imo.
To find an actor, who is young enough to pump out a few films, but looks way older. To give Alfred the more tired, aged look.

People like Donald Sumpter at 70 and Jonathan Pryce at 66

 

[Knightstalker]

I'd be happy with either Dalton for a more hardened ex military type Alfred, or John Cleese for a more traditional one.

[Loki882]

Jeremy Irons or Terence Stamp.

 

[shauner111]

Terence Stamp would just feel weird.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

Ah, the heck with it, Anthony Hopkins as Alfred

 

[Dk1201]

get in the car, master bruce :d

yes!!!!

 

[Rorschach2012]

Michael Gambon

 

[Daxceon]

Bill Nighy

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Idris Elba
Michael Fassbender
Tom Hardy
Benedict Cumberbatch
Jennifer Lawrence

....

Statistically, someone would mention them.

 

[Anubis]

Bill Nighy

Good one.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Uck.

I can see Pryce as a good Alfred.I'm still on Team Dalton,however.t:

Bale, he's from the UK.
