FAN CAST: The Invaders

FAN CAST: The Invaders

Here are my choices for who should play the main members of the WWII superhero team, The Invaders...

The Invaders team first appeared in flashback stories set during World War II, and comprised existing characters from Timely Comics, the 1940s predecessor of Marvel. Originally, Captain America, his sidekick Bucky, the original android Human Torch, the Torch's sidekick Toro, and Namor the Sub-Mariner were together as heroes opposing the forces of Nazism. When these superheroes saved the life of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill from the Red Skull's henchman, Master Man, the thankful Churchill suggested that they should become a team, known as the Invaders.

Eventually they found themselves in England, where they met Lord James Montgomery Falsworth, the original Union Jack. He joined the team and provided them with a base of operations in England. Eventually Falsworth's children Brian (Union Jack) and Jacqueline (Spitfire) became members. The team later added Miss America and super-speedster the Whizzer, during a battle with the Super-Axis.

THREE ACTORS WHO COULD PLAY CAPTAIN AMERICA

Injected with an experimental super-soldier serum during World War II, frail Steve Rogers became the exemplar of human physical perfection: Captain America.

Ryan McPartlin

CaptainAmerica3


Jensen Ackles

CaptainAmerica1


Patrick Wilson

CaptainAmerica2


Jamie Bell as Bucky

Bucky


After stumbling upon the secret identity of Captain America, he quickly became Cap's sidekick.

Matt Damon as Jim Hammond (The Human Torch)

JimHammond


Jim Hammond was the first Human Torch and actually an android created by professor Phineas T. Horton.

Anton Yelchin as Toro

Toro


After his mutant powers manifested at the circus where he worked, The Human Torch discovered him and trained him in using his powers.

Jason Behr as Namor the Sub-Mariner

Namor


Namor is the hybrid king of Atlantis. Both hero and sometimes aggressor to the surface world, Namor is strongest when in water.

Burn Gorman as Union Jack

Union Jack


He became a member of the Invaders after the original Human Torch saved his daughter (Jacqueline Falsworth) from Baron Blood.

Kelly Reilly as Spitfire

Spitfire


Spitfire has the ability to run at superhuman speed. While running she leaves a trail of non-damaging fire behind her.

Anne Hathaway as Miss America

Miss America


The first Miss America was active during World War II as a member of the All-Winners Squad, Liberty Legion and the Invaders.

Peter Krause as The Whizzer

Whizzer


After gaining super-speed powers, he decided to fight crime and eventually accepted the offer of Bucky to help rescue the other Invaders from the Red Skull.

ENEMIES

Mads Mikkelsen as The Red Skull

Red Skull


During WWII, he became Hitler's successor climbing the ranks and finally overthrowing him. Captain America is his greatest enemy.

Gerard Butler as Master Man

Master Man


A physically frail Nazi sympathiser who agreed to participate in the Nazi version of the Super-Soldier Serum, he was endowed with physical abilities that exceeded those of Captain America.

Great cast josh, I would pay to see it.

The original run of The Invaders was one of my childhood must haves. I loved it.

teabag: Thanks bud! :) Totally agree about Behr - what the hell was I thinking casting Zachary Quinto as Namor all those months ago, lol?

HAWKS: Thanks - its a real pity that there are so many licensing issues that stop a movie ever really happenning...hopefully that can one day be sorted because I too would love to see them on the big screen!

superheromoviefan & Betty: Thanks guys! :) I think that Wilson would make a great Cap though SHMF!

MovieTheaterLad: Cheers - I'd also like to see Bret Harrison as Bucky! However, unlike Harrison I think that Bell could play Winter Soldier as well! How do you mean that McPartlin is an obvious choice? I've only wanted to see him as Cap since I first saw him in Chuck a couple of months ago and I think that MarvelFreshman was the only one who suggested him for the role before me!

OZY: Thanks dude - if he could perfect the accent and grow 4 or 5 inches, I'd be all for Worthington as Cap after seeing his excellent performance in Avatar - however, you have made a brilliant choice with McPartlin man! As I said in the article I did about him a little while ago, he has all of the right things that the actor playing Captain America should have! :D

Excellent cast Josh

Behr IS Namor, nuff said.
Villain picks are outstanding as well,I can see Butler as a crazy Nazi!
Not sure who Burn Gorman is. Didn't you have someone before already for Union Jack?
Wilson would be too old for this version of Cap

TEABAG @ Check out my INVADERS casting dude, you was sick when i did it i think man??


Hey JOSH @ Cool cast man, i only agree with one of your CAP picks = RYAN McPartin!!!

PATRICK = ANTMAN

ACKLES = HAWKEYE!!

But you knew that lol! ; D

Like all the others, and i see MADS as the decoy SKULL, DANIEL DAY LEWIS is the perfect RED SKULL! ; D

Like WHIZZER a lot man!

Great casting though dude, kudos!!

Ryden - 1/17/2010, 11:50 AM

And Behr is an alright Namor, but Jonathan Rhys Meyeres was BORN for the role.

DogsOfWar: Thanks man! Burn Gorman is best known for starring in the first two seasons of Torchwood! I did use Rupert Penry-Jones as Union Jack in a recent cast but that was just for a change as I've cast Gorman in the past a fair few times, lol! When I've used the same actor again and again in my fan casts, I sometimes use my second choice in other casts rather than keep repeating myself! :) You're right about Wilson being too old for this version...if he were playing the Cap who's in the current comic books though, I'd say he was perfect!

Lansdowne5: Good - he's perfect for the role, lol! :D

LEE: Thanks bud! :) I was pretty certain that you wouldnt like those few, lol!! Krause is an amazing actor and perfect for Whizzer - he has the right qualities for that character (and a fair few others) IMO! Oh, and I'm glad you like FlashForward - I told you it was awesome!

lc: Lol, thanks! ;)

Back... Hey you know the CAP one wasn't my INVADERS casting right?? The link for it is there, though i suppose with SPITFIRE and SKULL and co it looks like it lol! : D

Really good casting. Specially for Behr and Kelly Reilly.

I was thinking of Clint Eastwood's son to play Cap. I've been told that he did a decent job in "Invictus". BTW his name is Scott.

THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 1/17/2010, 7:57 PM
Good job Josh!

Excellent casting!

The only choice I can fault is Wilson for Cap, but that is only because of his age. But all in all, well done!
DDD
DDD - 1/17/2010, 7:59 PM
Great cast Josh@! I'd love to see this movie!

Rhys-Meyers is not quite the actor Behr is so
I'm all in for Jason Behr as Namor now!

Bell is Bucky all the way!

Man, I wanna see this movie bad!!!
I sure hope it happens one day!
