Like you, I cannot wait until 2012 when 'The Avengers' movie is finally released! I think with the right blend of the original and Ultimate comic books (the emphasis being on the classics of course) that the movie will be a huge success to both us the comic book fans and to the general movie going public!

However, what if they made an Ultimates movie? These are my choices for the cast of that film! If you have any questions as to why I've made the choices I have then feel free to ask! Remember, these choices are based on tne personalities of the Ultimate characters! Enjoy!

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury

I kinda like it!

dellamorte1872: None (ok, maybe a little lol) taken! I've done two Avengers movie casts in the past as well as casts for the Dark, Mighty and New Avengers so it was hard to find a bunch of actors I hadnt used before to be honest!

Though a few of these arent near anywhere my top choice for the regular 616 characters, I based them on the Ultimate versions so although Cillian Murphy would make a horrible Bruce Banner normally, he's actually perfect for the Ultimate version IMO! Same with my Iron Man pick etc!

ecksmanfan: Thanks! :)

@JoshWilding - I know it was hard for you to find actors for fan-casts, but who do you think should play Spider-Man, the X-Men and the Fantastic Four in the Ultimate Universe?

@DELLAMORTE-

Are you just being a douche for sh!t's sake? How can you have a problem with "Olga Kurylenko as Black Widow" or "Cillain Murphy as Bruce Banner"? Those two at least are brilliant!

I think they all ROCK! Only one i DON'T like is QUINTO as QUICKSILVER!

Great job JOSH!!!

Whos the McPatlan dude? The rest are cool, except maybe Quinto as Quicksilver..love Murphy as banner.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/2/2009, 10:48 AM
Talontd: Finally - a nice comment, lol! :D Thanks a lot man! Out of all of them I have to agree with you actually - Quinto is far from my favourite choice for Quicksilver either but I honestly dont know who else to put in the part! Quinto would make a much better Northstar or even Namor (at a stretch)!

Im especially glad that you like my Black Widow and Bruce Banner choices - they were actually two of the hardest to come up with! How's MW2 been treating you? I havent been on for a while because I've been playing Assassins Creed II! :)

ROR: Thanks man - its good to have a fellow Ultimates fan comment on this, lol!

McPartlin is in Chuck - he's pretty unknown and hasnt been in a lot else I dont think but the guy is actually a great actor from what I've seen of him so far! He also has the exact right kind of voice you could imagine Cap shouting "Avengers Assemble" with, lol!

I think Murphy would be great at portraying the Ultimate version of Bruce - his performances in Batman Begins and Sunshine mixed together would be the perfect version of the character in a movie IMO! :)

@ROR-

Me too! When I saw MURPHY there i thought, "How did i never see that before!"


@JOSH-

I'm loving MW2, I'm halfway through so many games right now! There are so many more options, I really don't think i'm gonna prestige this time.....I just don't play as much as I used to, and i'd hate to have to build up all my perks and guns again. Assassins is pretty good too, but the free-running aspect was a little disappointing after playing INFAMOUS.

Oh yea, you need to get a headset bro! You know any bluetooth will work right, i'm sure you have one for your phone!

The other day when we were playing I was thinking how cool the age we live in is. I live in San Diego, my buddy lives in New Jersey, and you are in England (if my memory serves me), and we could all talk and be on the same team......that just rocks!
Talontd
Talontd - 12/2/2009, 11:04 AM
Oh yea, The more I see that INVICTUS trailer, the more I think MATT DAMON will be cast as CAP! Blonde hair, blue eyes, built, and HUGE box office draw. You know the execs must be thinkin the same thing. I'm not adamantly against it, but i'd much rather have JENSEN ACKLES for CAPTAIN AMERICA!!!!

I was thinking of Michal C. Hall for Ultimate Pym.

Kyos - 12/2/2009, 11:59 AM
Except for the Quinto/Quicksilver choice I really like your casting, Josh!

I especially love "Captain Awesome" as Captain America! Is Chuck still running? I watched the first season, and the last few episodes of season 2. I actually can't really say if I think McPartlin is a good actor, but he sure has the right look and voice for the part.

Kurylenko and Swan for the Widow and the Witch are nice, too, and I agree with Brolin and Murphy fitting the Ultimate versions of the characters you chose them for.

@Talontd: I can't help it, everytime somebody suggests Ackles for Cap I feel obliged to voice a loud "NO WAY!"
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/2/2009, 12:24 PM
Talontd: Yeah, the internet is an amazing thing - I'm from Wales to be specific, lol! I have actually got an old bluetooth headset lying around somewhere and I've never thought of using it! I'll have to hunt it down!

Im not sure why but I do better on standard or team deathmatches - I kept dying in that mode we were playing, lol! To be honest, I've never been great at FPS games online anyway as Im much better at a games like Uncharted 2 online for some reason! I was starting to really get into it though and was actually winning matches, lol, and levelling up quickly until I got AC II (I agree with you - the free running was little fiddly especially in comparison to InFamous who handled that pretty perfectly!)

Oh and hell yeah to Jensen Ackles for Captain America!!! :D Matt Damon is definitely in my top 5 choices of who should play Cap - I'll have to check that trailer out!

ThalesNJ & dellamorte1872: I have to disagree guys! I cant see Michael C. Hall as Pym at all - I'm a massive fan of Dexter (its my favourite TV show) and I've always envisioned him as being the best choice to play Dardevil!

Daredevil

Kyos: Thanks dude! :) Im glad you mention Brolin - I wasnt sure to begin with but like Murphy, Swan and Kurylenko I think he's the right choice for this version of the characters!

I've only watched the first four episodes of Chuck but I think that "Captain Awesome", lol, is still in the show with a third season starting next year apparently!
JeffBridges
JeffBridges - 12/2/2009, 12:43 PM
Jeremy Davies (who I've also suggested for Hank Pym) would make a great Ultimate Bruce Banner.

BrotherQStark
BrotherQStark - 12/2/2009, 2:04 PM
Ryan McPartlin,Zachary Quinto,Serinda Swan and Jeremy Renner are the only castings I agree with the others are not that good
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 12/2/2009, 2:25 PM
Not bad man, not bad, who the [frick] is that dude you've got cast as CAP, nva heard of him??? Looks the part bud!

Damn that RENNER gets everywhere lol, i can deff see him this HAWKEYE instead dude!!

By the way, you forgot the hardest casting, NICK FURY himself, even i had a pop at that one lol!

I think ppl are forgetting here this is a ULTIMATES casting, not an AVENGERS one, i had that same trouble with my ULTIMATES too dude lol!

Like 'em man, yours is like the very start origin of the ULTIMATES an mines like years into the future, they work well together!! ; D


Hey saw HURT LOCKER, [frick]ing good film man, but i don't get why ppl kept saying he's an a$$hole in it an stuff, coz he wasn't, just a bit of a death wish playing a bomb disposal expert, great film though!!

I could deff see him as HAWKS though, no way could i ever see him as GUY GARDNER (BRADLEY COOPER)lol! Anyway he's not a bad actor, not an out of this world actor i was expecting but he is quality, i could see him as HAWKEYE after JENSEN ACKLES, though he don't really look like CLINT but he could deff play him easy!!

Dude deff check out HURT LOCKER, great film!!

Glad your loving CHUCK dude, knew you would!!!

JoshWilding - 12/2/2009, 3:07 PM
MrAnonymous: Uh...thanks I guess, lol!?

LEE: Thanks man! :) And yeah, its kind of annoying when you get bad comments because people forget this isnt casting for the regular MU characters!

McPartlin is actually in Chuck! He plays "Captain Amesome" (Chuck's sisters boyfriend!) When I saw/heard him in that show I thought he'd make a decent Cap but then I remembered Marvel thought about casting Levi as Fandral so Im guessing they probably saw McPartlin and as he looks the part and as he's relatively unknown he could be just what they're looking for!

I did cast Sam Jackson as Fury but thought that was stupid as he's already been cast as the regular Marvel movie universe Fury! I'll keep looking and add one later today or tomorrow!

Hurt Locker isnt out here until Dec 28th so I've pre-ordered the blu-ray! I think he's a decent Hawkeye choice from the stuff I have seen of him but if Ackles doesnt get the role of Cap then I'd like to see him as Hawkeye!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 12/2/2009, 3:30 PM
Oh sh1t i thought he looked familuar (Shit cant spell lol been a long day heh heh). Im talking McPartlin by the way lol, im guessing your right about that too dude!

Cool look forward to ya FURY casting, yeah i know what you mean SLJ is the perfect part for ULTIMATE FURY as them using his likeness an all, but hard when he's cast in [frick]ing AVENGERS lol!!

Good going JOSH, worth buying that baby on Blu-Ray excellent film!!

Fingers crossed ACKS wont get the CAP role lol, just joking man heh heh!

Damn its slow today everywhere init dude??
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 12/2/2009, 4:30 PM
Hey guys, I'm back, for a bit!

Dude great cast! One of the best Ultimates castings I have seen!

Murphey is perfext for that Banner! I don't know why I never thought of it.

I am killing myself getting my story ready to post, I haven't been on in a week! How are things going with you guys?

I'm doing good, my Superman 2 story is half done, and I am getting pics ready for my SUPERMAN story, expect it over the next few days, maybe tonight if I can haul ass!

Well, catch ya later!

HAWK out.

Captian America- good he is a good actor isn't that the
guy from "chuck"?

Iron Man- AWESOME! Josh Brolin is the man!!

Thor- Fine, but is he bulky enough?

Quick Silver- PERFECT! Quinto is an great actor!

Scarlet Witch- WOW! SHE IS [frick}ing HOT!!
isn't that ZATANNA from Smallville.

Those are the highlights for me! but all around great cast man!


JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/2/2009, 5:34 PM
THEHAWK: Good to see you back dude! :) That is high praise indeed, I really appreciate it man!! Still looking forward to your Superman story - I re-read your Avengers story a few days ago because with all of the recent Thor and Iron Man 2 news coming in I'm getting more and more get psyched up for The Avengers, lol! It was even better a second time!

PETE: Thanks bud! That is the guy off Chuck, yeah! As I've said somewhere above I think he has a lot of the right qualities Marvel may be looking for when they cast Captain America! After seeing Brolin in 'W' I think he could pull off the Ultimate Tony Stark brilliantly and I think Skarsgard is pretty well built and I reckon he could easily bulk up if he had to! Quinto would make an excellent Quicksilver and a pile of other aloof Marvel characters like Namor and Northstar as well IMO! His stuff in Heroes and Star Trek showed that I think! That is indeed Zatanna and you're right, she is amazingly hot and she'd make a great Scarlet Witch in either an Ultimate or regular 616 adaptation I think! :)

THEHAWK - 12/2/2009, 6:09 PM
@Josh. Thanks man. Glad you liked the Avengers, it is definately my best ever! I hope that I will one day top it. I hope my SUPERMAN is as well recieved.
DDD
DDD - 12/2/2009, 6:49 PM
Fantastic ULTIMATES casting, Josh@
Especially McPartlin! He would be
perfect as Cap America (Steve Rogers)!

Yeah, its really hard to find actors for
other castings who haven't been used already!
Dang!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/2/2009, 7:07 PM
HAWK: Well, if its even half as good as The Avengers one then I have a good feeling it will be very well recieved! :)

DDD: Thanks man! :D I'm planning on writing some sort of article about McPartlin for Cap tomorrow so keep an eye out for it - I have a feeling he might just be the best choice for Captain America..!

I know what you mean about finding differenta actors! This is my 5th Captain America after Wentworth Miller, Jensen Ackles, Chris Pine and Patrick Wilson! Im out of ideas if I ever want to cast another Cap, lol! McPartlin may be the best yet though..! :P
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 12/2/2009, 7:14 PM
Thanks bud. ANd I still think Ackles is best for the job!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/2/2009, 7:34 PM
HAWK: Same here man, dont worry! Im not giving up on Ackles yet! :D
CRITIC17
CRITIC17 - 12/3/2009, 4:29 AM
Great picks Josh!!!! I just don't like your picks for Cap or Iron Man... Brolin's a little too old to Ultimate Iron Man, and McPartlin is good on Chuck, but I can't see him for Cap... Otherwise great picks man!!!!
AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 12/3/2009, 2:16 PM
Great Choices Man! Renner is perfect for Ultimate Hawkeye(and Guy Gardner)!Not 616 version though,Thats Jensen Ackles!
Batmanknight
Batmanknight - 12/3/2009, 3:59 PM
I saw this a while ago but i didnt comment it since so many people had already(i know stupid logic right). Its really good i like it. I used to be a big fan of the Ultimates and it looks like The Avengers movie will be closely influence by it seeing as how they used ultimate Furry and Hulk seems to be looking like a problem they have to face. I doubt Quicksilver will be in it though.

I like the original picks too. its better than seeing the same thing over and over again.

I checked out yours so hope you check out my Green Arrow story ;)
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 12/3/2009, 6:13 PM
@BatmanKnight. The real mainstream Avengers fought Hulk in their first appearance as well. The Ultimates were just updated rehashings of the Avengers founding and first battle with Hulk. But I do love the way Millar made it to where the government was brinign them together, I liked that. That was one of the few Ultimates ideas I added into my Avengers story so very long ago.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/4/2009, 5:09 AM
TheCritic17: Thanks man! A slighty younger Brolin would have been more ideal but I think he could still just pull it off!

NightAvenger4: Cheers and I agree! I would much prefer to see Chris Pine as the 616 Hawkeye personally and if he doesnt get the role of Cap, Ackles would be my second choice!

BatmanKnight: No worries - thanks for checking it out! :) It was hard coming up with new choices but I think they'd actually fit these versions of the characters well!

OZY: Thanks, just dont steal any of my pictures/choices like you did for your Avengers and Captain America cast, huh?

@JoshWilding - Hey, Josh. Nice fan-casting for the Ultimates movie if it ever happened!! Hey, i've just written an article about how different Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum would have been if Mark Millar wrote them instead of Jeph Loeb. What do you think?https://www.comicbookmovie.com/comics/marvel_comics/mark-millar-could-have-done-the-ultimates-3-and-ultimatum-better-a160252

My choice for Antman/Giantman/Goliath/Yellowjacket/Wasp/ Dr. Henry Pym
Either John Savage or James Morrison...
both have that brooding intensity and self doubt...
