So we’ve pretty much gotten the Justice League cast lineup for the 2017 Justice League
movie.
Cavill, Affleck, Gadot, Fisher, Miller, and Momoa.
Some notable names are missing but they’re more or less all there.
However, today, I thought I’d talk about what my dream cast would be for the Justice
League film.
Some of these characters haven’t been confirmed yet, and some of this casting wouldn’t work
as the actors are already playing people in the DC universe, but putting aside all previous
casting and all previous rumors and all that, here are the people I’d like to see in Justice
League.
Now I’m just gonna start off with a simple one, Superman, Henry Cavill’s pretty awesome,
let’s keep him.
If you want a different answer, I might go Joe Manganiello, I could see him in the part.
But for now, Cavill’s been great in the role, let’s keep him.
Now for Batman, The Dark Knight.
This is one that’s been floated a lot but I’m going Armie Hammer.
He’s got the look for it, he’s a talented actor, I feel like he could really do a good
job with a character like this.
Is he Christian Bale, no.
But he’d still be really great.
Also, I’m sorry, but after seeing Man from UNCLE, even though I didn’t love the movie,
Cavill and Hammer had really good chemistry.
As far as any other choices, ahhhh Joel Edgerton wouldn’t be terrible.
Now for Wonder Woman, I’ve got two options, one is pretty obvious and one is a bit odder
but still I think would really work.
First up, Jaimie Alexander aka Sif from the Thor movies.
Yeah, she’s already kind of playing Wonder Woman lite, so why not give her the full deal.
She works really well as a mythical warrior fighter, just give her a lasso and she’ll
be on her way.
My other pick, hear me out, is Charlize Theron.
And the reason I say this is, one, she’s an amazing actress.
And two, she proved that she can play a really cool intense movie stealing character, which
is something that I’d love to see Wonder Woman be.
So yeah, as far as acting ability goes, I think she’d fit the role.
Next up is Green Lantern, and I’m gonna cast both Hal Jordan and John Stewart.
No not that one, yeah there he is.
Stewart’s always been my personal favorite Green Lantern so I would really want him to
be the next main Lantern.
For Jordan, putting aside other casting in the DCCU, I’m going Chris Pine.
He’s got the look, he can clearly be a smartass kind of guy who also can be serious when needed.
He’s already played a kind of Hal Jordan-esque character.
For Jon Stewart, originally I was gonna go Anthony Mackie, you know Falcon, but the more
I thought about that Justice League Unlimited Stewart, the version of the character that
I know the most about and the one I like the most, Mackie doesn’t really fit.
So instead, Denzel Washington, I can totally see him pulling off this kind of character.
More serious than Hal Jordan, but still a fun character underneath.
For Cyborg, some people might not like this because of a recent film he was in that was
pretty terrible, but I’m gonna take Michael B. Jordan, who by all means was the best part
of that Fantastic Four movie for me.
He’s also a really talented actor, you seen Fruitvale Station, that guy can act.
People are gonna have a bad taste in their mouth over Human Torch but that 3.5/10 score
I gave that movie, quite a bit of that came from Jordan, so yeah, Cyborg, why not.
For Aquaman, this is a kind of type casting, but option 1 for me would be Chris Hemsworth.
Like, sure, it’s kind of a cheap answer and he’d basically be playing the same-ish
character, but admit it, you can totally see that happening.
If you don’t wanna go Hemsworth, fine, let’s go with Tom Hardy.
Along with Fassbender and Keaton, this guy is up there with my favorite actors.
He just delivers every time.
Inception, Mad Max, Dark Knight Rises, and his new movie Legend looks amazing and it
looks like he’s going to be amazing in it as two people.
Since DC seems to be going with this more dark version of Aquaman, I think Hardy wouldn’t
be as hardcore as Jason Momoa, but would find a good balance between this and the Aquaman
from the comics.
Can’t really see him in a blonde wig though.
Next is the Flash, and they should get Grant Gustin.
Seriously, that’s it.
He’s great as the character, just keep him.
Yeah, that’s it.
Look, if you want another suggestion, Aaron Paul could probably be good.
He’s more known the Jesse Pinkman type of character, but maybe he’s got some chops
as a fun loving superhero that we haven’t seen.
I don’t know, could be stupid, but I’d like to see it.
Now, Hawkgirl hasn’t been confirmed for the film and probably won’t show up, but
I’d like to see her.
And I think Evangeline Lilly would make a pretty awesome Hawkgirl.
She’s shown her ability to play this type of character multiple times.
Another character that I don’t think has been confirmed is Martian Manhunter, a character
that would probably be mostly CGI or like the Vision, a combination of CG and live action.
Laurence Fishburne might be good, but I’ll say Idris Elba.
He totally fits this type of character.
And finally, I’m just gonna put it out there, I don’t like the casting of Jesse Eisenberg
as Lex Luthor.
He could be really good, but I just don’t see it.
So my choices for Luthor would either be Bryan Cranston, again one of my favorites and they
even reference it on Breaking Bad.
You could also go Mark Strong, who you’ll probably know as Merlin in Kingsman or the
bad guy from Kick-Ass.
*clip* Tell me he wouldn’t make an awesome Luthor.
So yeah, those are my picks for a Justice League film.
Who would you want to see?

Also, bonus mention, this would never happen but James Earl Jones as Darkseid, come on!
