Avengers casting call

[TheDarkestHorse]

Sorry if this has been done before, I'm fairly new here. Dream casting is one of my favorite things to do, and I've only seen one thread for it on here so far, so I thought I'd put one up myself. I'm only gonna list characters I have casting ideas for, no certain team, so feel free to use classic Avengers, New Avengers, whatever.


Captain America : Thomas Jane (Dreamcatcher). He has a good look about him, and he's been blonde before. No matter how gritty he acted, I could never really buy him as a dark, mean dude in Punisher, so I think he'd be a good Cap. I stole this one from a Wizard cast of The Ultimates, thought it was perfect as soon as I read it.

Iron Man : Tom Cruise or George Clooney. Both rumored for the role, both good for it.

Thor : Chris Jericho. I don't watch wrestling, but he seems likeable on Best Week Ever. This tough role might actually be easier for someone who's used to shouting weird, corny dialogue while keeping a straight face.

Hawkeye : Paul Walker (The Fast And The Furious), maybe? I'd go for the younger, more rogueish Hawkeye. Got enough serious leader-y dudes already.

Wasp : Kiera Knitely(Pirates of the Caribbean) or Famke Jansen (X-Men). Look good with short hair. Look good period.

Black Widow : Milla Jovavich (Reident Evil). Hot russian chick, used to action roles.

She-Hulk : Jessica Biel looked pretty built in Blade Trinity, but can she pull off light-hearted and charming?

Spider Woman : Maybe a better role for Biel.

Plus, if they did New Avengers, they could have the 'real' Wolvie and Spidey. And a grizzled Nick Nolte as The Sentry! (J/K. He ruined The Hulk)

What do you guys think?

I stole this one from a Wizard cast of The Ultimates, thought it was perfect as soon as I read it.

I'd go with Mark Valley(Keen Eddie, Boston Legal). I think he's got more the build of Cap than Jane. Jane's buff, but there's still this narrowness to him, I don't think it'd fit with Cap.

Iron Man : Tom Cruise or George Clooney. Both rumored for the role, both good for it.

When he's got a moustache, Mark Ruffalo's a dead ringer for Tony Stark, and I think he's a very good actor.

Thor : Chris Jericho. I don't watch wrestling, but he seems likeable on Best Week Ever. This tough role might actually be easier for someone who's used to shouting weird, corny dialogue while keeping a straight face.

Maybe.

Hawkeye : Paul Walker (The Fast And The Furious), maybe? I'd go for the younger, more rogueish Hawkeye. Got enough serious leader-y dudes already.

Yeah, that sounds pretty cool.

She-Hulk : Jessica Biel looked pretty built in Blade Trinity, but can she pull off light-hearted and charming?

I can't think of anyone who'd really do She-Hulk Justice. She's have to be pretty big, without loking like, say, China in the face.

Spider Woman : Maybe a better role for Biel.

probably.

[Steve]

Tom Cruise said that he wasn't interested in the Iron Man role anymore. You can scratch him off the rumor list.

[Ontir]

Due to the dispensation of various rights, Cap, Thor, and Iron Man (along with the Hulk) can be written off straight away. That said, my list is as follows:

Scarlet Witch Melina Kanakaredes

Wasp Selma Blair

Hawkeye Doug Savant

Vision Jeff Goldblum

Falcon Will Smith

Dr. Henry Pym Kelsey Grammer

S.H.I.E.L.D. Liason Carol Danvers Darryl Hannah

Ant-man Seth Green

A.I.M. Leader Ed Harris

With the exception of Blair, I chose actors who are late 30's to early 40's as a minimum. The X-Men are the school kids, the Avengers are the seasoned pros. I also have a specific storyline in mind.

[HomerJay]

CAPTAIN AMERICA: Viggo Mortensen
Watch RETURN OF THE KING again and think of him as Cap. If he were to bulk up some, he'd be perfect.

IRON MAN: Rob Lowe
Before you trash this, think about it.

THOR: Triple H
Been discussed in other forums and I think he'd be a good choice.

WASP: Keira Knightley

SPIDER-WOMAN: Jessica Biel

HAWKEYE: Hayden Christensen

BLACK WIDOW: Rebecca Romijn

BRUCE BANNER: Edward Norton

SCARLET WITCH: Scarlet Johannson

THE VISION: Guy Pierce

Others...
NICK FURY: Kurt Russell or Russell Crowe
LUKE CAGE: Michael Jai White

[TheDarkestHorse]

Great suggestions so far! I definately would love to see Scarlet Johansen as anyone in anything, so that's good. Although, if they do have to cut Cap, Iron Man, and Thor out of the movie, there really shouldn't even be one. So let's stay in the world of make believe and fuzzy kittens, eh?

Any ideas for villains?

[Ontir]

The Avengers have existed without the "big guns," and given what "New Avengers" has shown us, I think it's better that way! I think a great film could be made without them, and it would also give some of the "second tier" characters a chance to shine.

The villain has to be Ultron. Nothing less will do.

[tangentman]

Captain America: Marc Blucas
Iron Man: Billy Zane, although I'm really liking the Mark Ruffalo suggestion :)
Hawkeye: Sean William Scott
Scarlet Witch: Eliza Dushku
Warbird: Laura Linney
Yellowjacket: Thomas Jane
Wasp: Selma Blair
Black Panther: Eamonn Walker (Kareem Sayid in HBO's OZ)

Mix of "veterans" with "young bloods", hence, the diverse ages.

New Avengers:

Spider-Woman: Jennifer Connelly
Wolverine: Hugh Jackman
Spider-Man: Tobey or Jake Gyllenhall
Cage: LL Cool J
Sentry: Suggestions, please

[shades of eternity]

THOR: Triple H
Been discussed in other forums and I think he'd be a good choice.



When we want a superhero named supersnoze, we'll call for you.

Another vote for jericho.

[Predator]

Captain America: Ben Browder (Farscape)
Iron Man: George Clooney
Thor: I got nothin'.
Giant-Man: Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1)
Wasp: Nicole DeBoer (Star Trek: DS9, The Dead Zone)
Vision: Ralph Fiennes
Scarlet Witch: Kate Beckinsdale
Hawkeye: Stephen Dorf

[StoneGold]

How about Ryan Reynolds for Hawkeye? He's all buffed up now, and works well as sarcastic comic relief.

[TheDarkestHorse]

Ok, I want to cut in and officially change my answer for Hawkeye to either Ryan Reynolds OR Sean Williams Scott. I'm a fan of both of them, and they are much better choices than mine. I can do that because I started this thread, and now we shall never speak of this ugliness again. My answer has ALWAYS been Ryan Reynolds or Sean William Scott. Live with it.

And HA! Someone does agree with me about Thor! Also, anyone who wants to post pics of any of the suggestions, that'd be awesome. I would, but I'm on Webtv, and therefor I don't get to do fun things on the internet.

[Gideon Quinn]

Thor: Vladimir Kulich
Black Panther: Wesley Snipes

[Biggbuttmcgruff!!!!]

This post scared the living crap outta me...I have always been told that to make an avengers movie,you would probably have to spend a billionm bucks just to get the big three in the same movie.So when I saw "Avengers casting call" I thought maybe bill gates or somebody got involved...well, maybe another time
Here is my team:
Captain America:Ben Affleck
Iron Man:Tom Cruise
Thor:Triple H
Scarlet Witch:I agree, Eliza Dushku
Quicksilver:For some reason, I want to say Macauley Culkin
Photon/Capt.Marvel:Gabreille Union
Warbird:An unknown named Kristia Knowles(someone please post a pic)
Wasp:Winona Ryder(let's give her a chance)
Giant-Man:Micheal Shanks
A few notes:If somebody is gonna play cap and thor, they are gonna have to be huge.These carachters are more than just your average vin deisel character'even he isn't big enough.

[TheDarkestHorse]

BEN AFFLECK?!

Can you honestly imagine Ben Affleck standing next to Triple H, with their Captain America and Thor costumes on, and not laugh your ass off?

I'm just playin'. I lke Winona Ryder as Wasp...I always imagined Wasp as slightly older, the most responsible woman on the team, and Ryder's getting around 35-40, isn't she?

Also, if a skinny australian like Jackman can play a good Wolverine, I'm sure a normal, fit dude could pull off Cap. But not Affleck.

[RhynoWoody]

Due to insomniac web surfing I found myself surfing IMDB and ended up at The Avengers (2009) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0848228/). Not unusual in the least, as I can end up finding myself on many odd and interesting web pages in the wee hours of the morning. I continued into the movies forum to see casting hopes for this prized film and found myself aghast.

I'm not sure why every fanboy and their brother finds a need to cast John Cena as Steve Rogers, but that little fact disgusts me.

So, I thought to myself who do the real fans at CBR think should be cast as The Avengers in a major motion picture.

I stumbled upon this very old thread (and saw that where I don't agree with some of the casting personally, I also found it as overly improved from the wishful thinkings of people who may be deaf and blind and have probably never read a comic in their life/imdb posters) and therefore found a place to post my question. Who Would You Cast As The Avengers???? (be it any cast from Classic Avengers, Ultimates, New Avengers, Might Avengers, etc, etc, etc...)

[darkwolf]

Captain America- Paul Walker
Hawkeye- Ryan Reynolds
Vision - Billy Zane
Thor - Triple H
Iron Man - Ralph Fiennes
Wasp - Nicole DeBoer
Scarlet Witch - Charisma Carpenter
She-Hulk - WWE's Victoria

Others
Wonder Man- David Boreanaz
Quicksilver- Hayden Christensen
Warbird- Scarlett Johansson
Black Widow- Milla Jovovitch

[ChrisIII]

How about Carl Urban (Bourne Supremacy, LOTR, Pathfinder etc.) as Thor?

[RhynoWoody]

How about Carl Urban (Bourne Supremacy, LOTR, Pathfinder etc.) as Thor?

That is actually one of the best casting choices I have seen when it comes to The Avengers. Wow, I'm taken back. Someone get Marvel on the phone!

[GRANT!]

How about Carl Urban (Bourne Supremacy, LOTR, Pathfinder etc.) as Thor?

Considering he's played that type of role (Eomer, Pathfinder) before I'd wonder if he'd even take it. Still rather see him then Triple H. He's usually the first person that comes to mind when I think of for casting Thor.

I think if they ever cast Thor they should find someone who can act and put him through a 300 style training regiment.

Cap is another tough one to cast. I think Brad Pitt said he'd want to play him but maybe he's too high profile.

If they do an Avengers movie I think they should just do the original members and Cap and make Hulk the antagonist.

[Magneto_X]

THOR: Triple H
Been discussed in other forums and I think he'd be a good choice.

He's got the looks for it but not the acting skill. He was terrible in Blade: Trinity.

How about Nathan Fillion? Carl Urban would be fine in this, too.

BLACK WIDOW: Rebecca Romijn

Nah, she's already been in to many Marvel movies. Get someone else. Perhaps Sienna Guillory or Milla Jolovich.

BRUCE BANNER: Edward Norton

Perfect choice.

SCARLET WITCH: Scarlet Johannson


Nah, this character should have an actress with Greek and/or exotic features. Maybe Emmy Rossum (The Day After Tomorrow) or Julianna Marguiles (Ghost Ship).

I'll add Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool (he even admits to wanting the role!). Matt Damon for Daredevil. Laurence Fishburn for Black Panther. Gina Torres (Firefly) for Photon. Jet Li for Shang-Chi.

[Magneto_X]

How about Ryan Reynolds for Hawkeye? He's all buffed up now, and works well as sarcastic comic relief.

Hawkeye is sarcastic but nowhere near as much as Reynolds would make him. Reynolds' never shuts up with the comedy that's why I like him for Deadpool. Perhaps Adam Baldwin (Serenity)?

Edit: Bruce Willis as Nick Fury. I'd love for Fury to get involved with the Avengers with S.H.I.E.L.D at his back. If they use the Ultimate versions just get Samuel L. Jackson.

[GRANT!]

Why would Deadpool be in an Avengers movie?

[Magneto_X]

THOR = Dominic Purcell

BLACK WIDOW = Bobbie Phillips (Chameleon)

[J. Robb]

I don't think whoever plays Thor has to be that big. I'll take an actor capable of conveying an imposing presence over a huge juice monkey any day.

[GRANT!]

And they can always hit the gym and load up on carbs. Christain Bale was 90 pounds when they casted him as Batman. Or the guys in in 300. Christ they bulked up Faramir.

[J. Robb]

Christain Bale was 90 pounds when they casted him as Batman.
Yeah, no kidding. Imagine if "The Machinist" was his only movie when it was announced he would be Batman. Fans would have flipped out!

[Magneto_X]

Damn, Foreigner! Good job.

I especially like your idea of Eva Green as Black Widow, Naomi Watts as Spider-Woman and Paul Bettany as Vision.

[Biggbuttmcgruff!!!!]

What do Y'all think about Jennifer Garner or Jessica Biels for Ms.Marvel/ Carol Danvers? Both can attain the athletic build(sans masculinty), both have portrayed strong female leads, though neither look like the character.

[GRANT!]

Couple I disagree with but the ones I do agree with I like a lot.

Particularily House as Doctor Strange (something I've been rooting for). The kid from the OC would be a good replacement Spider-man too. I dig the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver picks as well. And I've been saying for a while Chiwetel Ejiofor would be an awesome Black Panther.

Not sure about your Captain America pick.

[RhynoWoody]

Not sure about your Captain America pick.

Captain America seems like the hardest one to cast.

I mean I wouldn't necessarily mind seeing some huge star like Brad Pitt play him, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be all that happy about it either. It seems like a relative unknown would be the way to go. Ala, 300.

The guy from supernatural does seem to be an odd fit though.

The guy from supernatural does seem to be an odd fit though.

Jensen Ackles has the 6 foot build, the ripped body, the boyish yet strong good lucks of a young Rogers freshly thawed from the ice, and a single episode of Supernatural shows he's both charismatic and commanding as hell. His dramatic and comedic acting chops are also some of the best I've seen on TV today.

I do agree that the role of Cap seems the hardest to cast, by far. It's like casting Superman.

[Magneto_X]

Foreigner:

I'd say that Cap is as important to Marvel as Superman. In the fictional universe, anyway.

[dougputhoff]

John Steed: Hugh Laurie

Emma Peel: Jessica Garner

[dougputhoff]

Oops! Double Post

[darkwolf]

John Steed: Hugh Laurie

Emma Peel: Jessica Garner

Wrong avengers. We're talking about the superhero team.

[Magneto_X]

Emma Peel: Jessica Garner

It's Jennifer Garner. ;)

[Jmacq1]

It's Jennifer Garner. ;)

Clearly he was combining the best aspects of Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner into a composite being....

[Magneto_X]

Clearly he was combining the best aspects of Jessica Biel and Jennifer Garner into a composite being....

Such a being would be a goddess!!!!!!!!! :eek:

[Jared]

I think Mark Valley looks the most like Captain America of any actor I can think of, and he has the right kind of charm about him. I think the guy from Supernatural would be too brooding, and looks too young. though he's probably closer to Cap's actual age when he starts his career, I never picture Steve Rogers as looking as though he's fresh out of high school.

I like Karl Urban or Triple H as Thor, favoring Karl if the role requires more acting than physicality.

How about Olivia Munn as Wasp?

[Magneto_X]

I'd put Urban over Triple H for Thor. Triple H can't act.

[GRANT!]

I'll throw an odd one out there.

Captain America - Liev Schrieber.

Hear me out. He's a good actor, good looking big physical presence and played a secret agent in Sum of Fears so a super soldier isn't that much of a departure.

And c'mon don't you think Simon and Kirby would be cool with a Jewish Captain America. I know I would.

BTW I'm curious what's the next two movies in Marvel pipeline. They got Hulk and Iron man in 2008. They are doing a two movie a year plan so can't help to think what's next in 2009. Ant-Man, Captain America, and Thor seem the closet ones to happening.

[Magneto_X]

Good call on Schiver.

He's very under-rated.

The only problem is he's had little action roles. I haven't seen Sum of all Fears so
I can't comment on that.

[darkwolf]

I'd put Urban over Triple H for Thor. Triple H can't act.

You don't need to be a great actor to play Thor.

[The Foreigner]

You don't need to be a great actor to play Thor.

Please don't make movies. Ever.

As long as John Singleton is attached to the Cage movie, that one is pretty likely. Yeah, I know, I'd prefer someone a little less prettyboy than Tyrese, but he's probably going to get it, if it ever gets made.

I especially dig the choices for Sentry, Hawkeye, Wasp, and Black Widow.

It occurs to me that Eric "Multiple Man" Dane seems to have the looks and charisma to pull of Cap.

Marvel has done so many movie adaptations of its most popular titles...from Spiderman, Ironman,The Fantastic Four, X-men,The Incredible Hulk even its Marvel Knights titles like Daredevil, Elektra, Blade, Ghostrider and the Punisher.... but somehow somethings missing..let's see.. ahh..Earth's Mightiest Heroes "The Avengers" ..:frown:
Pardon me for mentioning this "spoiler" of some sort..if you've watched the recent movie adaptation of The Incredible Hulk, notice at the ending; Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) discusses with General Ross (William Hurt) about forming a team...:wink: meaning the Avengers. I do hope Marvel would persue to make this movie happen....:smile:
Sorry for the long intro, so here's my suggestions regarding this movie's cast....(and I do agree with some of the earlier posts)

please take note that this cast is for "THE ULTIMATES" version of the Avengers
( I know the've already released an animated adaptaion but what the hey...this is comics do everthing's possible)

Nick Fury: the obvious choice Samuel L. Jackson, he doesn't only looks the part; he also has the acting credibility to back it up to give Fury some attitude.

Captain America: Marc Blucas, although at first I also wanted to see if Paul Walker had the role but let's face it...Marc has that military look that could put justice to Cap's image. (afterall he did play that super-soldier waay back in Buffy right)

Ironman: Robert Downey Jr. Hey, he made the Ironman movie a hit so why bother replacing him?

Thor: Triple HHH, some have posted that wrestlers can't act ,so why hasn't WWE been cancelled? besides does Thor's character really need to act? all he needs is a hammer and the guy whose gonna play this role should be immensely well built and Triple HHH has bought the cake.

Wasp: Nicole DeBoer, I would have gone with Winona Ryder but let's give the young one's a chance to shine

Giantman: Michael Shanks..he greatly looks the part

Scarlet Witch: Megan Fox or Ali Landry; if not telenovela actresses Marlene Favela or Barbara Mori ( hey Latina stars are really Hot, Hot, Hot)

Quicksilver: Ryan Reynolds, why not...just to add some comic relief

Hawkeye: Josh Holloway, perfect fit for the sarcastic Hawkeye

Black Panther: Djimon Hounsou....any other nominations?

Valkyrie: Jessica Simpson...modern day vixen

Dr. Banner: Edward Norton..nuff said

Dr. Ross: Jennifer Connelly..she's way better than Liv Tyler's rendition of the Hulk's one true love

[f3lerio]

Thor: Triple HHH, some have posted that wrestlers can't act ,so why hasn't WWE been cancelled? besides does Thor's character really need to act? all he needs is a hammer and the guy whose gonna play this role should be immensely well built and Triple HHH has bought the cake.

Wasp: Nicole DeBoer, I would have gone with Winona Ryder but let's give the young one's a chance to shine

Giantman: Michael Shanks..he greatly looks the part

Scarlet Witch: Megan Fox or Ali Landry; if not telenovela actresses Marlene Favela or Barbara Mori ( hey Latina stars are really Hot, Hot, Hot)

Black Widow: Milla Jovovich.. she's the perfect choice

Quicksilver: Ryan Reynolds, why not...just to add some comic relief

Hawkeye: Josh Holloway, perfect fit for the sarcastic Hawkeye

Black Panther: Djimon Hounsou....any other nominations?

Valkyrie: Jessica Simpson...modern day vixen or "Heroes" Ali Larter

Dr. Banner: Edward Norton..nuff said

Dr. Ross: Jennifer Connelly..she's way better than Liv Tyler's rendition of the Hulk's one true love
