FANCAST: Justice League Dark

My thoughts about the team of supernatural heroes within the DC Universe and Vertigo, brought together by Madame Xanadu and led by warlock John Constantine.

Fancast
 
Since 2012, we heard rumors about a possible Justice League Dark film directed by Guillermo del Toro featuring magician and supernatural characters of Vertigo and DC Comics such as Deadman, Swamp Thing, Constantine, Zatanna and Etrigan the Demon.
In March 2013, del Toro said that the film's story would center around John Constantine recruiting others characters and that the Floronic Man will be in the film. In the same year the director revealed that his script features Constantine, Swamp Thing, Madame Xanadu, Deadman and Zatanna as the team, with other "in the mix".
In December 2014, he hinted that the film will be part of the DC Comics' shared universe films.

The Team


I believe she could be an excellent Zatanna principally she looks like the character in the comics with her blue eyes, black hair, pale skin and full lips. Unfortunately, she did not play the Wonder Woman.

Alternative actresses: Eva Mendes, Eva Green, Abbie Cornish, Alexandra Daddario.




Baker is a great Australian actor with amazing performances in The Mentalist but he played secondary roles in theaters. With the possible end of TV series at 2015 I think he is a nice choice to play Constantine in the theaters.


Alternative Actors: Jude Law, Matthew McConaughey, Ewan McGregor, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.




Woody Harrelson is the perfect choice to play the Deadman in theaters principally because of his talent to play characters with a little kind of immorality and insanity.


Alternative Actors: Billy Crudup, Doug Jones, Luke Goss, Corey Stoll.




Perlman is a collaborator of his friend Guillermo del Toro frequently playing roles in his films as Cronos, Blade II, Hellboy and Pacific Rim. Ron is a specialist to play roles that are deformed or not human. I think he’s perfect to play the Swamp Thing in the future film of Justice League Dark.


Alternative Actors: Doug Jones, Kevin Durand, Corey Stoll



Edgerton is a great and talent actor who plays good roles in film. I really like his roles in Warrior, Zero Dark Thirty, The Thing and King Arthur. Because of his role in King Arthur I believe he could play an excellent Jason Blood, Etrigan the demon.


Alternative Actors: Jason Clarke, Sean Bean, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Sam Worthington




I believe she could be an excellent Madame Xanadu principally she looks like the character in the comics. I like her role in The American and I think she’s one of few good things in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I always imagine Madame Xanadu as a gypsy woman in theater. I believe that Violante could play the gypsy version because she looks a lot like a gypsy woman principally her eyes. I would like to see her as a bond girl some day.

Alternative actresses: Eva Mendes, Eva Green, Abbie Cornish, Bojana Novakovic.



The Villains


I think that Enchantress is the link between Suicide Squad and Justice League Dark and she’ll be one of the main antagonist of JLD film.




Joseph Fiennes is a great british actor who plays excellent roles in media principally in Luther, Enemy at the Gates, Shakespeare in Love and American Horror Story. I believe he could play a good villain.




Like Perlman, He often works with Guillermo del Toro and appears under heavy makeup playing non-human characters with distinctive body language and hand gestures. He’s perfect to play the Floronic Man in theaters.




Possible Links
  • Enchantress is one of the Suicide Squad’s confirmed members. (Suicide Squad)
  • In the comics, Madame Xanadu was consulted by the Suicide Squad about the increasingly difficult to deal with Enchantress. She provided the Squad with a ring and necklace that could harm the Enchantress if she tried to use her powers against the ring-bearers' wishes. (Suicide Squad)
  • Some Possible reference about:
    • Azarath, Raven or Trigon. (Teen Titans)
    • Doctor Fate. (Justice Society of America)
    • Solomon Grundy
    • Nth Metal (Hawkman)
    • In the comics, Black Adam asks the Felix Faust’s help to recover his powers and relive his beloved Isis, but Faust manipulates Black Adam and Isis becomes his slave. (Shazam).

That's an awesome cast. Still not sold on Delevigne as Enchantress though.

Thats great! And I too agree that Enchantress is the link, from the moment they put a supernatural character in the suicide squad film I thought it essentially confirmed JLD will exist in the same universe.

Not bad. I like Fiennes as Faust, and some of your alternates are pretty good. Corey Stoll would be a good Deadman, and Alex Daddario would be a great Zatanna. I've always favored Johnny Lee Miller for Conastantine. Good job!

- Clarke is a little small, but she might be entertaining as Zatanna, at least the gritty New 52 version.
- There's a coup going on at deviantART saying that James MacAvoy would be stellar as Constantine. Based on Filth, I couldn't agree more. Though I do hope Matt Ryan gets a shot to reprise the character on the big screen.
- No thanks to Woody as Deadman. One of your alternative choices would be far better.
- People are begging for Ron Perlman to play Deathstroke on the big screen. If he's got enough juice left, he'd rock that role, or Swamp Thing just the same.
- Great Madame Xanadu choice based on your description!
- Not really digging Cara that much. That girl NEVER smiles. She better bitchslap some sense into me if I would accept her as Enchantress.

Your other choices are great! By the way, would you please check out my Batman/Superman: World's Finest fancast?

BIg fan of Simon Baker, would make a great John Constantine. Plays a similar character in Patrick Jane in The Mentalist.

I like your casting choice's but it's a shame that disgusting model cast as Enchantress is a link to Justice League Dark, but at least she'll be a villain and will have various forms so i don't have to see her disgusting face that much.

Awesome cast, but i want Matt Ryan in the role of John Constantine.

Damn, the hate for Cara Delevingne is so unnecessary, I've seen her act in Playhoude Presents here in England and she did a really good job in a dramatic role. She's gorgeous and I think she'll be interesting.

As for the casting, I really like it!

Very Nice!
Very nice indeed!

Clarke is a little short but she's such a fine actress she could pull it off...Did I say "PULL IT OFF"?
lol

This is quite cool!
