FAN CAST: Excalibur

Here are my choices for who should play the core team members of the various Excalibur teams...

Other teams are founded, but Excalibur was forged. The machinations of Omniversal guardian Roma, following a plan prepared by her late father Merlyn, brought together X-Men Nightcrawler and Shadowcat, who were recovering from injuries on Muir Island, with British heroes Captain Britain and Meggan.

A new team was briefly formed when the computer Mastermind was reprogrammed by Kang and attacked Otherworld; disguised as Roma and at the head of an army of Warpies, Mastermind slaughtered the Corps, imprisoned the real Roma, and took over the realm. With many of the Corps dead, Captain U.K. fled to Earth-616 and enlisted the aid of Brian Braddock, Meggan, Psylocke, and the Black Knight.

Brian and Meggan later returned to Earth-616 to prevent a reality storm engulfing that dimension from spreading across the multiverse. In the wake of this incident, during which Meggan was apparently lost, a new Excalibur has been formed, with Brian joined by old teammate Pete Wisdom and new allies Juggernaut (his former foe), Dazzler, Sage, and former Exile Nocturne.

Where's Colossus?

Anyway, I think Olivia Wilde is way too trashy looking for Kitty.You'll need someone with a more wholesome look.Not a sex kitten.

If Kerry Bishe is that new chick on Scrubs, she seems a little plain for Dazzler.

I think Zachary Levi is way too tall to play Nightcrawler.Unless he'd be crouching for most of the movie.

Haven't seen Jack Davenport in much, but he doesn't come off as being able to play a suave character like Wisdom.

great cast the only one i don't like is statham as Juggernaut, we already got a cockney Juggernautwe don't need another one.
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 1/4/2010, 5:45 PM
I like em all but two Psylocke(cause Hu is already Deathstrike) and Phoenix.

Blunt is good, and is a talented actress, but she is not right for this role. I think that someone with a more dramtic flair is needed for the role. I think Evan Rachel Wood has the skills nessasary to portray a complex character like Rachel. And she is closer to teh characters actual age as well.



My two cents worth.


HAWK out
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 1/4/2010, 5:45 PM
Wow, two castings in one day!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 1/4/2010, 6:04 PM
Dude you've got JEAN GREY (BLUNT) up there as RACHEL LOL??????

Like the rest though KITTY'S too old and too tall.


I thought you done this cast?

Nice cast man!!
longbowhunter
longbowhunter - 1/4/2010, 6:07 PM
Not too shabby. I really wanna' see Blunt in a superhero role.
DDD
DDD - 1/4/2010, 7:14 PM
Josh@ I like 'em all except Statham!
He's 5'8" that's too short
even if you use CGI which I
don't like for Juggernaut.

I thought Vinnie Jones was OK
in the prosthetics but I really
want a giant to play Kane Marko.

Hey, you used my Cap Britain for
your Black Knight! lol

Fassbender is a great Cap Britain!

You used the guy from FLASH FORWARD
for Pete Wisdom! He's an excellent
actor!
DDD
DDD - 1/4/2010, 7:24 PM
And I don't think Wilde is too sexy
for Kitty! In Excalibur Kitty is
older and very sexy!

Olivia can come and star as Kitty at
my house anytime she wants! lol
(Hey a man can dream can't he?!)

Michelle Ryan would make a great
Nocturne but I like her for a lot
of rolls 'cause she is just gorgeous!
What a beauty! :D

See Josh@ you're Excalibur didn't clash
with my Ecalibur! ;D

OZY & MTL: Thanks guys! :)

kenny38606: Completely forgot Colossus! Thanks for the reminder - I'll add him tomorrow sometime! I have to disagree with you about Wilde though...check her out in House! She's far from "trashy"! I also have to disagree with you about Bishe as I dont think she's in the least bit plain to be honest! Fair point about Levi but I dont think his being a little too tall would be that big a deal and Davenport can definitely handle sauve IMO! FlashForward is a good show to check him out in!

Ryden: Thanks! I cant say Statham would be my first choice either to be honest! I'd much rather they CGI the Juggernaut because I wasnt a fan of the suit in X-3...however, if they were to go that route again, I'd rather see Statham in the role than Vinnie Jones! And hey, at least Statham can pull off an American accent! (I think, lol!)

HAWK: I loved Wood in The Wrestler and I think she'd be great in this role! Awesome choice dude!! I actually completely forgot that Hu played Deathstrike...I hate Singer's X-Men movies though and I've only seen X-2 twice so maybe thats why, lol! I think she'd be well suited to the role of Psylocke though! Glad you like the rest though dude thanks!

Oh, and I am on a bit of a roll at the moment - I've actually had this cast saved for a while but after DDD and someone else posted thier own versions, I held onto it for a while! I am working on a few others though...I'm building up to something special for my 50th fan cast! :D

longbowhunter: Thanks and same here!

LEE: Thanks man - have to disagree with you about Olivia Wilde for Kitty Pryde though...I wasnt basing this on the teenage Kitty so Wilde is actually the right age (and what's height got to do with it, lol!? How tall is Wilde!?) IMO!

Blunt would make a good Jean as well though and no, I did a Captain Britain fan cast before based on the characters original run! I've been saving this Excalibur cast for a while!

DDD: Thanks bud! :) CGI is definitely the way to go for Juggernaut IMO and I'd much rather see Statham in the role than Vinne Jones any day to be honest! The wrestler, Kane (who I think you suggested for Kingpin?) would actually be the right look/size for the character!

Your Captain Britain choice was great but for me Fassbender owns that role, lol, so I gave your guy Black Knight!

Exactly - I think Wilde has the right look and acting style for Kitty! Her role in House has proved what a talented actress she is! I'd just like to see her in Kitty's Astonishing outfit, hehe! ;D

Hell yeah, Michelle Ryan's a beauty! I've never considered her for any role in the past to be honest but I think she's a good fit for this one!
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 1/4/2010, 8:48 PM
@Joshw24. Thanks man, I have wanted Wood for this role for years.

And yeah, Hu is perfect for Psylocke, and was my first choice as well, but she is Deathstrike, so...

I have about a dozen fan casts saved on my computer, but I haven't had time to complete them. At the moment I am mainly worreid about finishing stories I am writng. I am nearly finished with my Superman 2 story. and i have started a Batman 7 and a X-Men 5 story.


Wow, are you at 50 already?
DogsOfWar
DogsOfWar - 1/4/2010, 8:48 PM
Man, I can't think with that 9 commercial going. Sometimes I forget to pause it.

Another good cast Josh!

Interesting choice for Nightcrawler-I would think of someone darker & tougher at first. It would be a 180 from Chuck

Definitely like Fassbender for this rather than Bullseye (everyone seems to peg him for that)

Juggernaut-If its not CGI, why Statham? He is small, agile and in excellent physical shape. Juggernaut is a huge beserker type.
If it is CGI, why Statham? No resemblance and even if he pulls off an American accent, it doesn't sound mean enough. His voice needs someone who sounds huge and maybe a little crazy-maybe Clancy Brown. I'd have to give it more thought.

Even though Hu played deathstrike, I think she would be perfect as Psylocke

I like the choices except Nightcrawler and Juggernaut. I don't think Levi fits the role all that well, I prefer Dominic Monaghan, and of course, f*ck Jason Statham :)

TYLER @ Take your [frick]ing STATHAM hating else where dude, hes twice the [frick]ing actor ackles is!! ; P

1chris2 - 1/5/2010, 4:31 AM
sorry leee, but stathom cannot act. just sayin friend.
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 1/5/2010, 4:38 AM
Lee: I think that's impossible. You have to be an actual actor to be twice the actor Ackles is. Statham is a stunt-man who has lines in movies. That's it. He has less than 0 acting talent.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 1/5/2010, 5:53 AM
Yeah thats why ackles has soooo many good movies lol!
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 1/5/2010, 8:10 AM
@LEEE. No the reason why Ackles is not in a lot of movies is because he is on the CW and a lot of studios seem to have a stigma against casting actors from that channel. i can't even name a handful of them that have been in a lot of movies. But after this last season of Supernatural is over maybe he will havce the freedom to pursue decent film roles.

@ Josh24 great cast man i would pay lots to see this movie get made if had the money which i don't lol

________________________________________________________

@ guys this is little off topic but this month is January right now and that means it time for the top movie previews for jan 2010

take a look and enjoy

1.Daybreakers finally a decent vampire movie that doesn't have emo vampires in it and has a nice decent plot with a great cast William Dafoe Sam Niel Isabel Lucas and Ethan Hawke

2.The Book of Eli this movie looks sick from the visauls to the action and story telling this movie has it all and isn't your typical western movie and did i forget to mention one thing a great cast Denzel Washington Gary Oldman Ray Stevenson and of course the sexy Mila Kunis from family guy drools

3. legion looks like a sick movie and should be able to bring in a shit load of cash at the box office and has a great Paul Bettany from iron man Dennis Quaid Tyresse gibson canadas very own Kevin Durand and i can't remember the name of that female actress but damn is she hot drolls again damn thats the third time now lol

anwyays peace guys i'm off to timmys for a late breakfast.

HAWK: Cool man, I look forward to seeing them! I'm not quite at 40 yet, lol, but I'm getting nearer 50 and I want to do something big for that!

DogsOfWar: Thanks man! To be honest, Statham was to me just a much better choice than Vinnie Jones - I really dont know who would be perfect for the role! Fassbender is perfect for Captain Britain IMO although Bullseye would be my second choice for him if he had to take another part!

TYLER: Thanks, great choice with Monaghan - I can see him fitting the role really well! I think Levi would be a good fit for the character as well though! Personally, I dont mind Statham! I thought he was great in The Bank Job!

LEE: Thanks again! Fassbender is my #1 Captain Britain choice - Bullseye is just a role I'd like to see him in if he couldnt play Cap, lol!

DarthKyrat1: Thanks man! :)

Skarsgaard as Colossus. Now that's what I call an unusual cast. I liked it.
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 1/5/2010, 12:38 PM
Lee: And Statham has done real quality movies, right?

I mean, Crank 1 and 2 were all about story and great character development, everyone knows that.

In The Name Of The King was directed excellently by the master himself, Uwe Boll.

The Transporter movies all had incredibly well-written scripts and were a gold mine of depth.

Yeah, those are good movies for sure???
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 1/5/2010, 2:28 PM
CRANK 2 same level as BLOODY VALINTINE!

TRANSPORTER MOVIES are [frick]ing awesome an so is CRANK 1!!!

THE ONE (with JET LI too) [frick]ing amazing film!!!

Cant wait for EXPENDABLES!!

TYLER @ Get some taste! ; P



InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 1/5/2010, 2:41 PM
I haven't watched Bloody Valentine. Don't care for the horror genre.

And you say BV sucks, so I guess Crank 2 sucks too.

Transporter movies suck. No depth, mindless action movies. As is Crank.

Haven't seen the One, looks generic.

Oh, I'm so sorry if I want a little depth and quality in my movies, not just some cool action with bad acting in between. How dare I?!

1chris2 - 1/5/2010, 3:27 PM
ackles no good either. sorry how about ben foster? he is pretty good, and would do good as the new joker,or riddler. just throwin that out there.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 1/6/2010, 8:51 PM

CHRIS @ I wish Ackles was half the actor STATHAM is!
