DCU "Who should be who?" Fancast: The FLASH edition by the SoulEater

With the DCU evidently getting it's 2nd wind, with a FLASHPOINT movie, a GOTHAM SIRENS movie, a BATMAN solo film etc; the question now is "Who shall we get to play who?" I intend to answer that.

SO first off, Ezra Miller is our Flash, and so far....he's been proving me wrong about his ability to channel Barry Allen.



Given, I wish he looked more like THIS, but in terms of humor, and timing, and also acting range, he's actually been pretty solid.



And Kiersey Clemons is playing Iris West, not who i would've chosen in the roll, and obviously the racial cast was to keep in continuity with the current show, so if anything we can hope that she's a better actress and has better chemistry than the the CW's. She's certainly cuter. 




And with WATCHMEN's Billy Crudup already reprising the roll of Barry's Father, the question is , who will portray Barry's Rogues Gallery?  



Let's start with the Arch Nemesis of Arch Nemesis, REVERSE FLASH , played by Game of Thrones' Aiden Gillan as Eobard Thawn.   For those who've seen any of his work know he could certainly play the roll of the Smooth operating and cunningly brilliant Eoabard, with a psychotic thirst for Barry's ruination.   Just imagine him uttering the words "It was me Barry..."



With that out of the way, lets go onto the ACTUAL Rogues and start it off with Jai Courteny for Captain Boomerang, and there's really no need to change him.  He was enjoyable in Suicide Squad, and always in character, and just needs a better movie where he can actually.......do something.





Let's start off with one Lenard Snart, aka Captain Cold, and leader of the Rogues, who will be played by Jeffery Donovan from Sicario and Burn Notice.    He's got the cool, and calculated, and also intense demenor to convey a Capt. Cold who could realistically be the Danny Ocean of these super criminals and make sense as their Ring Leader...as well as be a believable hitman/mercanary with charisma. 






For Heat Wave, who would be a contrast to Cold's composed, cool demenor, I choose Vinnie Jones.  For any who've seen him in anything other than Last Stand could know he could have good timing with Donovan and Ezra as FLash, and keep in mind that banter would have to be a LARGE part of this film.



For Mirror Master, I choose Damion Poitier as the classy yet menacing illusionist extraordinare with access to the most dangerous mirror-verse tech on the planet.




For the Trickster, I shit you not, Ken Joeng.   Just let that sink in. I really can't pitch it any better than that concept by itself.




For Weather Wizard, i'm going  a different route than the norm.    Barry is basically an ultimate basement dweller hacker nerd slash scientist, so i thought what if Weather Wizard was the same, and the title was an online tag, further more, since it worked with the TOP and Copperhead, what if it was a Girl?   



Basically all that to say, what if Weather Wizard was Aubery Plaza, who's already played a roll meant for a dude and killed it in
 LEGION.   Just imagine her as some easily internet triggered meteorologist/scientist inventor , who's a blend of her character from Scott Pilgram, and a super thief by using her newly acquired ability to manipulate the climate.

Just imagine the wit and awkard reparte between her and Ezra as Barry.


(I know that's Knock out i couldn't find a proper gender-bent weather wizard)



Barry:"So your...the fantasia...sorcerer....person?"

Mardon:"I'm NOT a sorcerer!"

Barry:"Okay Sorceress-"

Mardon:"I'm not a Sorceress! I'm a Wizard." 

Barry:"Kay."

And with that, we have my THE FLASH fancast which obviously don't have to be all in one movie but this was for the sake of casting other people in his U. What do you think?

I like what I see here. The casting of Plaza as Weather Wizard (Marcia 'Markie' Mardon?) is an interesting twist, and one I could see executed well.

When you have a sec, give these a look:

I'm a big fan of Jeffrey Donovan (mainly from Burn Notice) so I love that choice of him as Captain Cold. I think he would kill it in that role. All the others I am fairly indifferent to. I don't really dislike or love any of them, but I could see them each in the parts you cast them in. I think Vinnie Jones & Donovan would play well off of each other like you said. Unfortunately, I'm completely unfamiliar with the actor you chose for Eobard so I have no idea how he would do.

I like that none of your choices are obvious or cliche, so kudos to you for putting together an unconventional cast. I also like that they feel like they could exist within this world with Ezra's Flash & Jai's Boomerang. Nice job

Thank you uber much! I also loved him as Michael Weston.

I casted everyone because I was trying to think of who could work well with comedic timing and chemistry and also being capable of serious acting...which is what you need in flash, and i feel they would bounce off Ezra well.
