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.

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.

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

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

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
