Fan cast for the Flash!

My picks of actors for the Flash live action film...

Since Michael Goldenberg is written the sequel for Green Lantern way way before the first is even out next year, Greg Berlanti, Donald De Line and the rest of writers of GL can now focus on finally bringing the Scarlet Speedster into the big screen! Chances the movie will be release the same year as Batman 3, Man of Steele, and possibly Green Lantern 2 seem like a DC fan Matrix-like fantasy come true but if the Flash does come out at 2012 with the other 3 DC movies I mention than that will mean DC are kings of the world! So I will now show you all my fan cast for the Flash that hopefully Geoff Johns will have a gander at it and agree with me!


Chris Pine

Barry Allen

I think we can all agree Chris Pine will be a phenomenal Barry Allen just like he was a phenomenal Captain Kirk in JJ Star Trek. Some want him as Wally West or Superman(?) but Barry Allen is a more fitting role for Mr. Pine!

Anna Kendrick

Iris West Allen

Loved her in Up in the Air, best female performance I saw in a movie in YEARS! She can play a strong minded, caring sweet women better than any other actresses and if Anna Kendrick is not Iris West Allen, it a damn crime against humanity! Plus her scenes in the Twilight movies is actually worth it.

Garret Hedlund

as
Wally West

This was a hard decision because A) Freaking Ryan Reynolds was tiring of waiting for when he could play Wally so he went to play Hal Jordan instead and he would've made a sweet Wally West!! And B) either cast a teenager so he can be Kid Flash or someone who is close to Barry Allen age that way after Barry die in the later Flash movies, he can right away be the new Flash. I went with someone who can do both; after suffer the same freak accident that gave Barry Allen the superspeed powers, Garret Hedlund as Wally start out as Kid Flash for one movie then after Barry dies, he quickly takes the mantle of the Flash and continue the movie franchise that will surely be a huge money maker for Warner Brothers! I like what I see from Hedlund just from the mind-blowing trailer for Tron: Legacy alone and I think he can be the cocky, arrogant but good-hearted Wally fans love for years. Also in this movie version, Wally is Iris' sister rather than him being her nephew like in the comics.

Harrison Ford

Jay Garrick

OK how come nobody haven't thought of this before?! Harrison Ford IS Jay Garrick!! He is a walking, breathing Garrick with a earring! I don't even have to explain; lets move on.

THE VILLAINS:

Edward Norton

Professor Zoom

How do you spell revenge?? Two words: DC!! That right, baby now that Eddy is out of Marvels the Avengers, he can do whatever the freak he wants! DC will tolerant Norton's allegedly douche-bag attitude just to piss Marvel to the core! Yeah, I also don't need to explain more, lets keep it going.

Ian McShane

as
Gorilla Grudd
Gorilla Grodd Pictures, Images and Photos


I'm going with Ian McShane because since Grudd will be CG, he can voice him and I do enjoy his work in Kung Fu Panda as Tia Lung, the Snow Leopard so he can do no wrong voicing Gorilla Grudd.

Paul Giamatti

as
Captain Cold
captain cold Pictures, Images and Photos


If you see the movie Shoot 'em Up, you know Paul Giamatti is at his best playing a villain! He wasn't too over the top or pathetic in the movie which is why he must be cast as Captain Cold.

Eric Bana or Russel Crowe or Sam Worthington

Captain Boomerang/George "Digger" Harkness

Man, I couldn't decide which of these talented Aussie should play Captain Boomerang so either these three are the worthy candidate for the role! And Worthington and Crowe had never done a American movie using their born given Australian accent and if you watch Avatar, you know Sam Worthington can not do an American accent worth shit! I will say this; if its Russell Crowe, I want him to be the fat, bloated, bald Captain Boomerang! He's practically IS him now!

Dominic Monaghan

as
The Trickster/James Jesse
Places to go Pictures, Images and Photos


To tell you the truth, I only saw maybe three, four four episodes of Lost? But I am a Lord of the Rings fan and I can see Dominic can be great Trickster in the Flash.

David Tennant

as
The Mirror Master/Evan McCulloch
Mirror Master Pictures, Images and Photos


Now I know some of you wants him as the Riddler in Batman 3 and some of you have pick him as the Weather Wizard in their own Flash fan cast but I believe David Tennant is best suited for Mirror Master just because I think he'll have more fun in the role as let say the Riddler! And McCulloch is Scottish and so is David Tennant and he can bring the character more to life while speaking in his natural Scottish voice.

Matthew Goode
matthew goode Pictures, Images and Photos

as
The Weather Wizard/Mark Mardon
Weather Wizard Pictures, Images and Photos


As Ozymandias in Watchmen, he destroy almost all the major cities in the world with exploding energy reactors, Matthew Goode as Weather Wizard can do same creating heavy rains that will cause floods or hail storms the size of baseballs or maybe freeze over a city with snow storms all thanks with his trusty weather wand in which he can manipulate the weather to his liking!

John C. McGinley

as
Heat Wave/Mick Rory

John C. played a hot-headed doctor in Scrubs; why not a hot-headed villain like Heat Wave. Great actor.


Alright so there you have it! My fan pick for the movie the Flash! If anyone knows Geoff Johns number or email or home address, please give it to me so I can show this awesomeness that is awesomeness of my fan pick! RED DRAGONS!!!!

GREAT, but you only need 1 or two villians for an origin movie to show everyone who/what flash is.

I susggest for a movie to take flash seriously from the audiences point of view, not to use Grodd. Super hero vs. GIant gorrilla will throw new audiences, sad but true.

The cast is supurb however, in nearly everyway, actualy no, in every way. I think a good advosary for a flash movie should be the bomb squad, terroristic styled raid men who throw Central city into panic to show whos boss. Deadshot:Jeffery Donovan, Capt. Boomerang Sam worthington (EPIC CHOICE) Plastique, whoever. And leave the possiblity for Reverse Flash for the sequal(Edward Nortan) BRILLIANT MOVE CASTING WISE.

All and all love it and give you a 9 1/2 out of 10

Great cast man! I like your Barry Allen although I've alway thought Patrick Wilson would be the best choice.

Anna Kendrick's a good choice, seems like a pretty good actress

Absolutely LOVE your Wally West! Hedlund would be brilliant. I may have to steal that one :p

Harrison Ford looks like he could pull it off. Can't think of anyone better

Don't see Norton as Zoom although I like your reasoning behind the choice.

Paul Giamatti as Captian Cold, nice and original. He'd be alright.

Hugh Jackman should be Captian Boomerang. (Proud Aussie)

Monighan sounds ok but I'm sure there's a better role out there for him.

Not a big fan of David Tennant.

Matthew Goode would be be good Weather Wizard (pun intended) :p

Not liking McGinley for Heatwave. Overall pretty good cast.

@ wolverinesfury

cool fan cast,but i agree with thesouleater.

you don't need all those villains in the first movie.

spread them over three movies it would be awesome.

also i can't see russel crowe doing a comic book movie,i'd love to see him in one.

but i couuldn't see him doing it.

apart from that cool.well done.

i say chris pine for young barry (if the movie's going to be about barry)
and matthew fox for old barry(if this movie's about wally)

anton yelchin for wally (he could work as kid flash)

oh and nph for reverse flash

Fantastic Cast man. The only one I can't really see is Harrison Ford. Ford would make a better Alan Scott and I see Bruce Greenwood as the best Jay Garrick. Other than that great work!
superman7
superman7 - 8/15/2010, 8:15 PM
Sam worthington for Caoptain Boonmer
And Eric Bana or Russel Crow for Captain Cold... Paul Giamattie just isn't intimidating enough

And i apolofize for thinking you were an exclusive marvel man on the GL stuff. : )

but damned good fancast.

I'm definitely liking some of these picks.
Garret Hedlund may just be my new pick for Wally West!
While I do like Pine, I feel like someone needs to be cast with a bit of an older, more mature vibe; while at the same time being able to hang with Ryan Reynolds. That's why I still like Patrick Wilson.
Same deal goes for Iris Allen.
Oh, and Iris needs to stay Wally's aunt, you can't change that.
I'm definitely one of those Greenwood for Garrick fans, but I certainly wouldn't complain if we got Ford.
I love Matthew Goode playing Mirror Master!
I'm not sure how I feel about the rest of the Rogues though.

Good cast!

@ wolverinesfury:

I was alil drunk last night and decided to hit up CBM when i stopped back to grab more beer. I realized that was somebody else that i said that to. they also had Wolverine in their name. lol

Im a superman junkie myself...(if you couldn't tell from the name). Also very into Marvel but currently not picking anything up from them. (but that's bc im broke and just tend to lean toward dc)

either way... i realized once i sobered up that it was someone else.

but nice fan cast again!

@wolverinesfury Could i make a revision of your cast, i only say that because alot of who you chose would be who I would have chosen, only i have a sort of plot idea behind it. If not I uunderstand.

ThaMessenger07 - 8/17/2010, 6:45 AM
I Always Thought Pine was perfect. He looks the role and can play the character to a T. I wouldn't want anyone much older then 30 and he falls rite in that age group. The rest of the cast is fantastic!

Wow!!! I gotta say, you impressed me right off the bat with Anna Kendrick as Iris!!! Man she's gorgious AND looks the part entirely!!! In fact, ALL your fancast would be stellar IF it was in some forms of flash back sequences. You can't really have Barry be the same age as Wally. So for an origin story of Barry, Pine and Kendrick DEFINITELY!!! For a Wally movie, those two roles would have to be played by older actors i.e. Matt Fox and... uh, i dunno... Ashley Greene? LOL Hedlund would be an awesome Wally btw, Your Jay pic is legendary and all your villains are spot on! GREAT WORK bud!!!

Sweet fan cast! :)
Chris would definately make an awesome Barry Allen. Anna Kendrick would be interesting as a love interest, especially in a superhero flick. Her minutes on 'Twilight' were pretty good and I've got to check her out on "Up In The Air" when it airs on HBO! Garret (or someone younger) as Kid Flash would be pretty nice. Introducing him as a minor role in the first Flash would be cool. And if they ever decided to kill off Barry in a JLA picture it would be a good opener for Wally to take over and become the new Flash.

I think Gorilla Grod should be the main villain in the first film. Because there hasn't really been an antagonist as unique as he is (unless you count "Planet of the Apes") and DC should be starting to get creative with their baddie choices. He would especially work in an origin story.

Overall you did a pretty fine job! Let me know when you do anymore. :)

Not bad WOLVIE@!

You need a much older BARRY ALLEN if
you put BARRY & WALLY together at the
same time.

Matt Fox is a good choice SHAMAN@!

@marvel72: Crowe is playing Jor-El in "Man of Steel".

not bad. like about every pick.

Good cast. I like your Flash choices but I am not sure about Norton as Professor Zoom he doesn't really seem evil to me. I love Ian McShane as Grodd tho. The rest of the cast is good tho.

You used the Evan McCulloch version of Mirror Master for this, but he was a foe of Wally West. What about Sam Scudder, the original Mirror Master, Barry Allen's nemesis?
Lewis25
Lewis25 - 7/26/2011, 11:50 AM
I think John Krasinski would be a great Barry Allen.

Ur barry could be slightly older but all in all this is the best Flash cast ive seen in a long while. its just great. Bana as Boomarang is almost perfect but Worthington is closer in age and could be a great mirror image to Flash akin to Reverse Flash/Zoom. Crowe would be the polar opposite as the aged villain offsetting the younger Flash. again, great cast, glad to see it got so many comments

Shadow11 - 7/26/2011, 4:24 PM
I would definitely watch this Flash movie especially if this were the cast, great cast all around, really great especially Pine as Barry Allen and Hedlund as Wally West, and Harrison Ford as Jay Garrick, Ford is my favorite actor and the fact that you put him in this cast, I would definitely watch

Sam Worthington would steal the show especially if he were cast as a villain, same goes for Eric Bana
