Casting the Ultimate Universe

[Joseph C.]

This is similar to the Marvel casting thread except now with the Ultimate Universe. I know what you're thinking, that a lot of the casting would be the same, but I believe that there are actors more suited for the Ultimate verse than the 616 verse and also there being characters that are entirely new or just radically different form their 616 counterparts that the same person couldn't play in both universes.

So anyways, what celebrities would you cast in what roles in the Ultimate Universe? It's simple, just post a pic of the celebrity alongside a pic of the character you want them to play. I'll go first:

Daniel Craig:


as Gregory Stark:


As soon as I first saw Gregory in Ultimate Avengers 1, I immediately thought Daniel Craig would be great to play him. Millar probably already had him in mind when he wrote him which is the same way Nick Fury looks like Samuel Jackson.

Didn't we have a thread like this...Who we hear when we read I think...

Anyway Sam Jackson is the most obvious My favorite part was what the deal was:

It was only after seeing the redesigned Nick Fury in the first issue of The Ultimates that Samuel L. Jackson learned of the use of his likeness and contacted Marvel in order to secure the role of Nick Fury in any future Marvel movies

and his reaction

The Diva: Did you know that your likeness is being used for the character of Nick Fury?

The Man: Yeah I know. We talked about it. It’s cool.

Only Sam Jackson!

I did but I'll share more!


I think Ryan Reynolds, if he was younger, could pull off an amazing Ultimate Spider-Man!

i started making a list then i realized that the current scheduled avengers movie is exactly what you're asking for. the Ultimate Avengers are the basis for the movie-verse. :shrugs:

That's very interesting considering the Ultimate Avengers don't have any of the same characters that the Movie Avengers do...

I'd like to see CGI as the Hulk.

Ellen Page:


as Ultimate Spider-Woman

The actress annoys me sometimes and I think we definetly need someone smokin hot as Spider Woman. She needs to be young whilst looking mature.

I disagree, but whoever would play her would have to look similar to whoever would play Ult. Spider-Man.
