ecksmanfan casts Wolverine in Japan

Since it sounds like Wolverine is headed to the Land of the Rising Sun, I thought I'd throw my ideas out there for casting.

I'm not a huge reader of Wolverine comics, but these characters seem to play a big part in what happens over yonder.

First off, here's the obvious, Hugh Jackman as Wolverine



Next, I think it's quite obvious that this bad-ass will be a part of the story I present Ken Watanabe as the Silver Samurai


Let's not forget the all important love interest. Here is Ziyi Zhang as Mariko


I think we could also work this character in as well, as the Silver Samurai has been involved with her, I give you Rhona Mitra as Viper/Madame Hydra


At the request of other fellow comic bookers, I have added a coupe characters that I probably should have been smart enough to add!

Here is Jet Li as Sunfire


Who didn't just love watching this chick kick some ass as Miho in Sin City? Here is Devon Aoki as Sunpyre


And finally, I thought that since we were in the neighborhood...kind of, we could throw in a villain just to throw a wrench in the spokes. I don't think it would be too hard to include him into the storyline. Afterall, look at what they did to the storyline in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This casting took some real consideration and I think I've done pretty well here. I present Sean Bean as Omega Red


There you have it. Like I said, I'm not too familiar with this story, but I think I got the major players. If not, tell me who I missed and I will include them or go ahead and throw a name in!

Compared to many people on CBM, I'm a relative newbie to the comic book world. I've just recently (within the last 10 years or so) started reading comics. However, I've been a fan of comic book characters nearly all my life, thanks to cartoons like the X-Men Series and Batman. Been downhill ever since.

I am an avid movie watcher and run my own movie website,(GeekBoyMovieNews) which covers a wide variety of movies, books and television news. There is nothing better to me than to sit back and a enjoy a good movie, or a crappy one for a good laugh.

While you may not see a lot of articles submitted by me, I've been an active user for close to three years here on CBM and I enjoy every minute on here. We have the best online community on the net her at CBM.com.

I've been lucky enough to climb the ranks here at CBM and the almighty Galactus has chosen me to act as one of his Heralds (Jr. Editor). So if you ever need suggestions or help on articles, I am more than happy to help out; you can find me in the CBM chat quite often. I also assist Big G in his "Beat Galactus Quizzes," so if you feel like you have a good question for the next quiz or suggestions on making them work better and more smoothly, feel free to drop me a line.

I look forward to talking and discussing comic books and their movies with all of you on the site!

I really like the Sean Bean choice. Very inspired.

My personal choice for Omega Red is Thomas Kretschmann.

I like th Madam Hydra cast alot. You forgot to cast a few people I'm sure will also be there: Lord Darkwind, Sunfire, Sunpyre(the latter 2 being Fox additions I'm sure they'll use given their family relationship with Silver Samurai.)

Ok all y'all! I added Sunfire as well as Sunpyre! Thanks for the suggestions Myth. To be honest, I don't know a damn thing about Lord Darkwind, so I opted out of trying to cast that one.

WHAT WHAT WHAT!!! Lord Darkwind is one of the most important characters in Wolverine's history. He is Lady Deathstrike's father and also the scientist who created the process by which adamantium might be bonded to human bone. I think he had something to do with Daredevil too... vague... anyway it's some info you should look up. I dig your casting, Sunfire seems a bit type cast though.
I don't know how they could work Omega Red in, it would take a radical source change. I don't like the idea of reworking Deadpool being so damnable, yet it would be fine to do it to Omega Red. If that's the case, then we are judging based on personal taste in the adaptation rather than deviance/adherence to source material. The latter is what people did with DP, can't change the standard to suit the situation. I'm all for it if it can be done in some relation to source, even what they did to DP did that in many, less obvious ways. I'll look into to see if I can find something.
