The Flash Fancast

Who I would cast in a “The Flash” Movie

DC FANCASTS


Superman: Man of Steel
The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive
Wonder Woman
Batman Rebot



This was a hard movie for me to cast. I tried to have original cast but keep in mind I’m not a big Flash fan. I wanted to make this a really lighthearted, campy. And without further ado I present to you my casting for “The Flash”



The Flash/Jay Garrick: John Wesley Shipp (The Flash)


He was Barry Allen in the old 90’s TV show. I don’t think we’ll be seeing the Garrick in the movie but if he is I would love to see a cameo with him being played by John Wesley Shipp.




The Flash/Barry Allen: Matthew Fox (LOST)

He could do a great heroic Barry. Just watch him in Speed Racer LOL. I don’t think Barry’s going to be in much of the movie maybe just the beginning and flashbacks. Patrick Wilson would be great too.




The Flash/Wally West


I really wanted the plash to be played by Ryan Reynolds but sadly that won’t be happening. However I have 2 choices for who else could do it.


Ryan Kwanten (True Blood)

He has the sense of humor to do a really funny Wally and he could be really campy feel that I’m I would like to see in a Flash movie. But he may come off as too similar to Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan.



Or



Chris Pine (Star Trek)

This is kind of a lazy choice but he’s a great actor and could do a great funny/cocky version of Wally. Since I doubt he’ll get the role of Hawkeye why not give him this.


Young Wally could be played by an unknown



Linda Park: Linda Park (Star Trek: Enterprise)

Yeah Linda Park played by…Linda Park. Come on! She was born for this role. When I was thinking of an actor to cast she was the first person I thought of was the Asian girl from Star Trek: Enterprise; and that was before I knew her name was Linda Park!
(Linda Park is Wally’s love interest for those who don’t know)



Iris West Allen: Paula Marshall (The Flash)

She played her in the old show. I say let her do it again. She’s shape to do it.





Villains





Hunter Solomon/Zoom: Neil Patrick Harris

I know that this is kind of a weird choice but I love Neil Patrick Harris and he could do a quirky, crazy version of Zoom and I’d love to see him as a villain. I’m imagining Zoom as the main villain in the movie.



The Rogues
These are my favorite members of “The Rogues” and the ones that I would like to see in a movie.



Captain Cold: Daniel Craig (James Bond)

Who better to play the “cool” leader (if you’ll pardon my pun) than James Bond himself?



Mirror Master: Christopher Eccleston (Dr. Who)

Though not my favorite Dr. Who, he is a great actor who would make a very interesting Mirror Master.



Captain Boomerang: Hugh Jackman (X-Men)

Just imagine Jackman playing a semi-comedic, Steve Irwin-like Boomerang. He’d be perfect (though I doubt he would accept the role).



Weather Wizard: David Tennant (Dr. Who)

I LOVE Tennant; he’s a great, very, talented actor and could play the role of Weather Wizard perfectly. And yes I did just cast both the 9th and 10th doctors to be Flash rogues.



Heatwave: Brian Austin Green (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles)

This isn’t a role that requires a big time actor this is just one that i thought of.



Trickster: Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean)

Ok this is kind of a joke. Just because he plays a really stupid character doesn’t mean he’s a bad actor. (P.S I loved the silly, nervous trickster from Justice League. That’s how I would like to see him done anything serious would come off to similar to the Joker.)

ASIAN @ Damn man, how can i say no, you have the same pick as me for BARRY, WALLY (Ryan), WEATHER WIZARD and BOOMERANG! :)

OWAIN's SHAZAM though and hell no to PINE, but top marks... thumbs up bro!

Really like your pick for Mirror Master. Dont think I've seen that one before.

You know, as much as your TRICKSTER is out there, I laughed at first but i reckon you have something good there, he could be amazing!!!

@LEEE777 thanks i may have got the idea for weather wizard from your cast (I don't remember) and i did steal the Captain Boomerang choice from your fancast

as for OWAIN i just thought that heatwave should be a terminator; he would be a great Captain Marvel too

and the trickster idea just randomly popped into my mind; thanks

Great cast!
The only ones i dont like are Jay(Bruce Greenwood,Barry(Zachary Levi),Iris(Zooey Deschanel),Wally(Aaron Johnson younger Scott Porter older),and the Trickster(cameo older Mark Hamill)
The rest are excellent!

@NightAvenger
thanks but as for your choices

Bruce greenwood as jay would be perfect but i don't think we'll see much of him so maybe a cameo would be better but i like the idea of Mark harmon better

Zooey Deschanel is too young to be the older iris that i was looking for

Scott porter wouldn't be bad but i don't like Aaron Johnson. he just comes off as a douche to me (probably just me)

and Mark Hamill's a bit old but seeing him would be great

Your Barry, Wally's, and Iris are too old. They would be good choices, except I'm not really sure on Iris, but they're all too old for the characters.

Despite the nostalgia Shipp would bring, I think there are better choices for Jay Garrick, like Mark Harmon for example.

Owain Yeoman should be Captain Marvel.

The rest are pretty good. NPH is awesome.

@InTylerWeTrust
thanks but as to your comments

fox is a little old for barry but i think he would only be in flashbacks or maybe in the beginning so that wouldn't be a problem

Kwanten is a little old of wally but don't think pine is

as for iris; if the movie is focusing on wally (which i'm almost completly sure it will) then don't we need an older iris?

and yeah mark harmon would make an awesome garrick
Yeah yeoman would make a pretty good marvel but he was just the first person i thought of.

ASIAN @ Lol, TYLER would say RDJ was too old for IRON MAN if you cast him and MARVEL didn't, MATT FOX is perfect!

An RYAN might be too old, but he sure don't look it or act it, TRUE BLOOD proves that!

Mmmm i like HARMON though, but WESLEY SHIP is kudos, would luv to see him too!

Btw, your MIRROR MASTER = CLASS!



InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 6/25/2010, 1:56 PM
RDJ is in a CGI metal suit that doesn't require him to do physical stunts and moves. Big difference between that and playing the Flash. You're blind if you can't realize that.

And Barry should be the Flash for several films including a JLA movie, add to that the physical requirements, and Fox is too old.

I like it. I like the tribute to John Wesley Shipp too.

LEEE777 - 6/25/2010, 3:30 PM
BLAH BLAH BLAH! : P

And P.S. Who says THE FLASH movie is set before the JLA movie lol!

THE FLASH movie should have a flashback of an origin and be all about the death of Barry Allen! (FOX).

Wally West for THE FLASH in FLASH II!

I want SCOTT SPEEDMAN for the young JLA BARRY anyways!

; D

ASIAN @ Dude, didn't catch that LINDA PARK as LINDA PARK heh heh, awesome stuff!

Funny @ Lc lol, seriously, THE FLASH is the all time best superhero live-action TV show ever made!

Who says the Flash movie would be before the JLA? Oh, I don't know, logic? Why the hell would they even do it otherwise? WB is aiming to set each (or most) of the Leaguers up in their own films like Marvel is doing in order to build up to their uniting in JLA. What the hell would be the point of setting a Flash movie after JLA?

Killing Barry off in the first film is stupid beyond belief. How would that do justice to the character? How would that do justice to his death? It makes no sense. What does make sense is building and developing Barry over the course of a couple Flash movies and a JLA movie, and showing his relationship with the other Leaguers and his family, particularly Iris and Hal. By doing that, the audience has more attachment to him, and the characters also feel like they're connected with him. This way, when he eventually bites it, his death makes an impact on the audience and we feel it, because we also know of his connections to the other characters. Killing him off in his first film appearance is unnecessarily rushing and diminishing his character.

Good cast!

Shipp in a cameo is brilliant!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 6/26/2010, 1:51 AM
TYLER @ Lol, Its never been done before, thats why.

(And the movie can span over 10 years or something)

And you do know the MARVEL studio movies arn't in the same order their released right? LOL.

REALLY GOOD!!! The only one I dont agree with is Matthew Fox. But other than that, this is incredible
secretasianboy
secretasianboy - 6/26/2010, 8:07 AM
Thanks Everyone
@Tyler and LEEE
I agree with LEE on this one. i Like his idea about flash 1 being about barry's death and flash 2 about wally
but i do think the movie should take place before justice league

@anil thanks but i'm sticking with Neil Patrick Harris

@lc what are you talking about a the flash movie is the most necessary superhero movie at the moment

Great fancast. Especially with Hugh Jackman as Captain Boomerang, perfect choice.

InTylerWeTrust - 6/26/2010, 11:04 AM
Don't you think that maybe there's a reason it's never been done before? Maybe because it makes no sense? A lot of things have never been done before. Just because it's a new idea doesn't make it a good one.

Span over 10 years? Okay, but that's still rushing his character UNNECESSARILY. There is no reason at all to do that. They can only do so much in one 2 hour film. You have yet to give me a good, legitimate reason that they should kill Barry off in his first film appearance.

And yes, I do know that the Marvel movies don't take place in the same order. But none of them take place after Avengers. You do know THAT, right?
secretasianboy
secretasianboy - 6/26/2010, 1:47 PM
@airbeyonder18 thanks but i didn't come up with jackman for boomerang; LEEE777 did

@Tyler it might just be me but i grew up with wally and he's the one that i'm the most attached. to i think using wally's personality would distinguish the flash from the other dc superheroes
i think that killing of barry would better develop wally's character

just watch: if the flash movie does get made it will focus on wally; 98% sure (though i hope barry will be in it)
