i like it aside from Bosworth as Roxanne. She just seems too young for the role opposite a guy like Urban.

Roxanne needs to be played by a woman, and right now Bosworth still looks the age of a young lady.

Now if the movie planned to do the origin story again and show Johnny and Roxanne as younger versions of themselves, she could easily play young Roxanne, but for the main character that will be shown throughout the movie, i would say go with someone like Charlize Theron

Great fan-cast the only one I have a problem with is Paul Walker as Ketch, he seems to old for the role..but apart from that I don't have any complaints! ;)

Oh and check out my Incredible Hulk 2 Fan-Cast pleease! :)
DDD
DDD - 3/15/2010, 7:23 AM
Good cast Josh@!

Weaving as Mephisto is spot-on!

Finally somebody with some great
acting range for Johnny Blaze!
I love Urban as Johnny!

The only two I have a little trouble
with is the two spoken of above me!
Bosworth looks a little too young and
Walker seems a little too old!

But finally the RIGHT Johnny Blaze!

YES!!!!!!!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/15/2010, 7:38 AM
l0rdleg0las: Thanks! Urban is only 10 years older than Bosworth and I dont think that a difference like that would be too noticeable especially as in my opinion he doesnt look his age! I do understand your point though and I guess that depending whether this was another origins movie or a sequel in the style of The Incredible Hulk, the role of Roxanne might need to be recast. Personally, I dont think so though.

Ryden: Cheers man! I didnt actually realise until just now that he's as old as 36! Still, I think he and Johnny were around the same age in the comic books so I think that works in this cast! (plus, Walker really doesnt look that old IMO!) I've just left you a comment on your Hulk cast!

DDD: Thanks bud! I'd like to see Weaving as Mephisto but I put a lot of this cast together before the recent Red Skull news...now that's a role I'd really love to see him in! I'm glad you like my Johnny Blaze pick! It took a while to come up with that one and I'd say that this is the perfect superhero role for Urban! See my responses to Ryden and l0rdleg0las about Bosworth and Walker! :)

Urban looks a little old for the part to me
I like Charlie Hunnum myself as the Rider.
I like the Paul Walker and Thomas Jane pick.

It's not about the actual age too me it's
about looking your age, because this cast
is a little old but Walker to me isnt aging
bad.

Weaving as Mephisto and Sheen as Zarathos
nice cast again good job

i think his name is michael sheen, not martin.great cast though mate!

LEEE777 - 3/15/2010, 9:05 AM
JOSH @ Thumbs up m8, i like 'em all, well apart from TOM JANE, he's my perfect PUNISHER!!!

Plus he's played a major MARVEL character!

WALKER would be good, only IF he got better at acting though lol!

WEAVING, only a yes IF he isn't cast as the RED SKULL, good work dude!
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/15/2010, 9:16 AM
HAHA! Top of the page! did you see Galactus spoke in the
other article?

anyway love Kate Bosworth! She is WAT better than Eva
Mendez!

Weaving = genius, as mephesto!

Alan Rickman!! He is an AWESOME ACTOR!!

Denzel Washington as Deathwatch? would that be a part
to SMALL for Washington to play?

anyway GREAT CAST!!! how about doing an ETERNALS cast?
Wadey09
Wadey09 - 3/15/2010, 10:09 AM
GREAT CAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
still a little iffy about Walker though for Ketch.......
AWESOME JOB though!!!!!
which cast are you doing next?
DogsOfWar
DogsOfWar - 3/15/2010, 10:36 AM
Nice cast Josh

Inspired pick with Burt Reynolds there.

Like others, don't know about Walker-he is not the greatest of actors. A role like this can go over the wall to cheesiness very easily.

Great villain picks especially with Denzel
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/15/2010, 11:14 AM
blade40: Cheers dude! Hunnam is an interesting choice! However, I have another role lined up for him! I agree about the age thing - as long as these actors don’t look an age that would be wrong for the characters (cough, Mark Valley as Captain America, cough) then I don’t see it as a problem! The villain picks were a pain in the ass to come up with to tell you the truth so I'm pleased you like those!

FORT: Damn, that's embarrassing! I always get Michael mixed up with the American Martin Sheen! I have no idea why but it always happens even when I'm just talking about the guy, lol! you like the cast though mate, thanks!

LEE: Thanks bud! :) Fair point about Jane but look at that picture...he looks perfect for Vengeance! Lol, fair point about Walker (what would you have thought if I had cast Ackles in the role?) while I completely agree with you about Weaving! I really hope he plays Red Skull!

PETE: Lol, thanks mate! Yeah, I've realised now that the best time to post a cast is when it's about 12 pm here and 6am over with you guys! That's when it's quieter and there's more chance that it'll stay nearer the top even though CBM is a little quieter! Glad you like my choices! Anyone would be better than Mendes, lol, but Bosworth would make a great Roxanne I think! Weaving and Rickman were actually two of my favourite choices in this cast so I'm glad you like them and I think that Deathwatch was a fairly major villain to Ketch so the part might be about right for Washington! Great idea with the Eternals! It's thanks to you I'm doing a Squadron Supreme cast so I might have a go at that one as well at some point! Cheers man!

Wadey09: Thanks man, much appreciated! My Squadron Supreme cast is pretty close to being done so I might post that one next! Old Man Logan and Great Lakes Avengers wont be far behind it! If you have any ideas I'd welcome them - I thought that I ran out of ideas 20 casts ago but now I am, lol!

DOGS: Cheers man! I know he's been known to do more comedic and often cheesy roles in recent years but I think the guy is a great actor who would be really well suited to someone like Crash! To be honest, I may have to think of a different Ketch choice in future...I was actually going to cast Jensen Ackles in the role but changed my mind at the last minute because he's been in so many of my past casts as either Hawkeye or Captain America! I still think Walker would be good in the role though. What I've seen him in has been decent but I know he's done a lot of crap as well! As I've said above, the villains were a pain to come up with but I'm glad you like them, thanks again dude!

tea: Thanks bud! Still planning on posting yours later today? I'm looking forward to it! :)
FORTAPACHE
FORTAPACHE - 3/15/2010, 11:26 AM
i did mention that jokingly though mate, i've often made the same mistake!what have you got lined up next?I think you would like a comic called dragon's claws, it was cancelled after 10 issues but you can get the combined issues in a trade paperback on ebay, you should check it out!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 3/15/2010, 11:39 AM
JOSH @ Kudos!

As for ackles, i thought you've already cast him as him before(?), plus Cap an Hawkeye lol! But seriously i'd go for Walker more because basically ackles more-or-less already has a supernatural gig, it'll be like Dean on a bike, glad you didn't cast him lol!

I think my fav pick here is SHEEN, plus Johnny Blaze, though i'm one of the few that don't mind Cage for the role lol, but i would take URBAN easy, quality actor!


FORTAPACHE
FORTAPACHE - 3/15/2010, 11:57 AM
also check out The Knights Of Pendragon, Captain Britain and Union Jack are in it and it has a Welsh cop too!YAY!
Ryden
Ryden - 3/15/2010, 12:21 PM
@Josh- Danny ketch is Johnny Blaze's younger brother LOL :D I think he's around early 20's
peterparker420
peterparker420 - 3/15/2010, 1:34 PM
YAAAA!! Squadron Supreme! Awesome , now all you gotta do
is add Ultimate avengers, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and Ultimate X-Men, then you will have..ULTIMATE POWER! LOL!
Scarface
Scarface - 3/15/2010, 1:55 PM
Good job JoshW the only one I don,t accept is the one I love and thats Thomas Jane I liked him as Punisher to
Congrats on staying on the top part of the page Dude
Balance has been brought to the force
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/15/2010, 3:45 PM
FORT: Lol, no worries bud! :) Squadron Supreme is probably next followed by any of the others on the list above depending on when I finish them! Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to look them up! I think I've read some of The Knights Of Pendragon at some point...isnt the Welsh cop called Dai Thomas!? I'm just happy we have an actual Welsh superhero now with the X-Men's Pixie! :P

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

LEE: Yeah, I did cast Ackles as Ghost Rider a whil back and I wasnt too happy with it either mainly because, as you say, it's too similar to Supernatural! Sheen's a great actor but this is probably one of the only CBM role I could see him in! I quite liked Cage's Ghost Rider as well but I wouldnt really want him back for a sequel...glad you like Urban though dude, thanks again!

Ryden: Damn, good point! I need to brush up on my Ghost Rider facts, lol! Walker looks younger than Urban though so I still think it could work!

PETE: Well, I've done The Ultimates and Ultimate Avengers and I've nearly finished my Squadron Supreme cast so I'm almost there! I might actually do an Ultimate FF/X-Men cast at some point in the future so stay tuned..!

Scarface: Thanks man! :) I always preferred Ray Stevenson as The Punisher to be honest so I'd be fine with seeing Jane in another CBM role! Yeah, this is how "Fan Fic" should be!

ANIL: Cheers dude! Yeah, that was a great series! Have you be reading Gregg Hurwitz's Vengeance of the Moon Knight? A fantastic series and I bet he'd do an excellent job with Ghost Rider! Great choices man but Behr is my #1 Namor pick!
Scarface
Scarface - 3/15/2010, 4:03 PM
Ray stevenson was a very close second for me
If Punisher warzone would have been a better movie overall maybe ray would have been first
he was by far the best part of a crappy cbm
Scarface
Scarface - 3/15/2010, 4:38 PM
@ Anil that would be awesome I love moonknight
Ryden
Ryden - 3/15/2010, 5:51 PM
@Josh- No problem man, he does look younger than he is...I thought he was around 30..didn't know he was 36!!!
Batmanknight
Batmanknight - 3/15/2010, 6:11 PM
Cool Man

The only one i completally disagree with is Karl Urban as Ghost Rider. He's my pick for Superman and i really hope he gets that. for Ghost Rider i like Johnny Depp
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 3/15/2010, 9:06 PM
Scarface: Yeah, the movie was awful but he really nailed the character in my opinion. It's just a pity they couldnt get a decent script and avoided the over the top bloodshed because The Punisher has the potential to be a great movie!

ANIL: I really hope so dude - I hated the whole psychotic persona the character had for a while and seeing him trying to be a hero is really great! Hurwitz novels kick ass as well - if you're a fan of thrillers you should check them out!

Ryden: Lol, same here! :)

BatmanKnight: Thanks man! Hmm...I think I could probably see Urban as Superman! However, he may be a little old for that role now and I want to see Depp as Doctor Strange!

TG11 - 3/25/2010, 6:16 AM
For Ghost Rider, the only person who I can see in that role is Nicolas Cage because in my opinion, he is Ghost Rider and irreplaceable as Ghost Rider as he did an amazing job playing Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider. But if they had to reboot Ghost Rider, and have someone else play Johnny Blaze/Ghost Rider someone who I can see for that role, is probably Sam Worthington
supermarioworldE
supermarioworldE - 4/5/2010, 11:12 AM
Nice Casting!

Urban is a fair choice for GR.

Burt Reynolds as Crash is brilliant

Weaving IS Mephisto

Mark Sheppard looks like he'd make a good blackheart.

fafafaf - 9/30/2010, 3:01 AM
Thanks bud, glad you like the cast! Interesting choice with Hunnam...I could definitely see him as Iron Fist! Porter remains my #1 choice though as Chris Pine is now my top pick for Johnny Storm in an FF reboot! I get what you mean about Crews...although he's pretty much perfect for the character, pass4sure E20-322
his comedy background might go against him. However,pass4sure 642-359
he gave a great serious performance in Street Kings so I think he could pull it off!pass4sure 000-081 Great choice with Simmons - I could most definitely see him as Cage!
pass4sure JN0-331

Y'know, technically the same actor can play both Danny Ketch and Noble Kale since they were supposed to be dead ringers for each other in the comicbook. Then again, adaptations to both the big and little screens IS a chance to retell the story...
