As many of you probably know by now, I’ve recently started to read Green Lantern comic books. I finished reading “The Sinestro Corps War” a few days ago and am currently waiting for every graphic novel leading right up to “Blackest Night” to arrive in the post this week. Needless to say, I’ve loved everything I’ve read so far! As many of you will also know, I’ve not really posted a fan cast for a while simply because as an editor, I don’t really have the same amount of time I used to! Well, after a fairly slow few days of news I decided to put a quick cast together featuring some of my favourite characters from the core title that I’d like to see in the upcoming movie.

As well as my choices the for past and present Sector 2814 Lanterns, I’ve included some of my favourite Corps members (and when I go back and catch up on that title, I’m sure I’ll think of a few more as well!) most of whom wouldn’t be entirely CGI in a live action adaptation as well as a few other character I‘d like to see make their way onto the big screen. As I only put this together fairly quickly, I’ve not included any long winded explanations about why I’ve chosen each actor for their respective role. If you’re desperate to know though, just be sure to ask me in the usual place!

Awesome cast but no to Evans(Captain America),Strahvoski(Black Canary) and Smulders(Wonder Woman).

chrismatj - 8/15/2010, 11:19 AM
Great job!! The only one I'm not too keen on is Omar Epps as John Stewart. He'd be okay, but not my first choice... Other than that, your cast is perfect, dude. :)
jazzman
jazzman - 8/15/2010, 11:25 AM
nice cast JoshW

you know who should play Guy Gardner i know his in his 40's but Lochlyn Munro as Guy Gardner.

JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 8/15/2010, 11:33 AM
NightAvenger: Thanks man! Believe me, I was very reluctant to include Chris Evans in this cast. However, when I look at that picture of him next to Guy Gardner up there, I cant think of anyone who's better suited to the role! As for Strahovski/Smulders, they're two perfect casting choices right there! (although I'm still hoping Marvel will snatch up Strahovski for Ms. Marvel!)

chrismatj: Much appreciated! To be honest, Epps as Stewart is probably my least favourite choice in this cast as well...I thought about a few other actors such as Anthony Mackie, Morris Chestnut and Michael Jace but he ended up being my favourite out of all those! However, when it comes to Marvel he'd be much better suited to playing Black Goliath IMO!

tea: Cheers bud! :)

Integrity: Lol, thanks! You've got to respect that sort of artwork. Especially when you imagine someone like Camilla Belle pulling the same pose!

jazzman: Thanks - I'm not familar with a lot of his work but I'd have to agree that Munro looks the part. A little old though, I'd guess! Saying that though, I dont really have much of an idea how old Gardner is supposed to be so maybe he's better suited to the part that I realise, lol!

yeah his kind of old well his one year young then Robert Downey Jr :p

LEEE777 - 8/15/2010, 12:09 PM
JOsh @ josh josh,,,,, dude I like your cast a lot but HELLZ NO to EVANS as GUY GARDNER, I'd rather they burn the film b4 that ever happens, no man plz lol, GUY is my all time favorite DC character and do not wanna see cbm wh*re EVANS anywhere near it... Now his CAP, I'd rather he didn't have anymore cbm roles period,,,, same goes for REYNOLDS now his HAL too!

BRADLEY COOPER's too perfect for it! : P

Seriously I'd crack a laugh in sheer terror seeing REYNOLDS and EVANS together in a cbm, I cringe LOL!

Sorry its only becoz I'm too passionate over the character, just like PUNISHER is my all time fav MARVEL character for many years!

Others good, Luv MCD... but CULTBERT's a gr8 SUPERGIRL!

Its weird man seeing you do DC, don't think I can ever get used to it lol!

Lee.

P.S. Hey has anyone been having trouble on CBM.com today, everything seems to be running at a dead stop?!

JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 8/15/2010, 12:42 PM
antonio valdez: Thanks! They're actually two of my favourite picks in this cast so I'm especially gald you like them! And I cant disagree with you about Cooper - he'd make a great Guy Gardner!

LEE: I knew I'd get a little flack off you for casting Evans but I completely understand where you're coming from...in fact, I completely agree! If he wasnt playing Captain America (and several other comic book characters, lol) I do think that he'd be perfect for Guy - hell, he certaintly looks perfect anyway! But with his role as Cap, playing a major DC character as well would be a little over the top! Bradley Cooper would be ideal though and I'd be perfectly happy if he were cast in the role! Regardless, I'm glad you like the rest of the cast! I know that a few of the actors are suited to plenty of other roles but I think they fit these lot pretty well also! Cheers for the feedback mate! Oh, and I've not had any trouble with CBM...although I've not really been on that much earlier so maybe I missed it!

wolverinesfury: Firstly, it's best you just look at my comment I left to LEE about Evans rather than repeating myself here, lol! Secondly, I agree with you about finding an actor of the right race to play Kyle! However, as I was looking I just couldnt find anyone who suited the character! I'm sure there's someone out there and I found a few actors who looked the part but rather than cast someone I didnt know I just did the next best thing and went for Levitt who I think would be well suited to the role in every other respect! But thank you, I'm glad you liked the cast!

secretasianboy: I could see Cooper as Guy without a doubt. I just wanted to go for an original choice rather than someone who already has a pretty big following! Glad you like my Rayner pick anyway!

UnfriendlySpidey: Thanks bud! :)

bleedthefreak - 8/15/2010, 12:58 PM
love the cast man and i like your original Guy Gardner pick but he is just cast as the annoying cocky wise-ass type too often plus i am a fan of Bradley Coopers. JGL as kyle is awesome i never thought of that. But my favorite pick of yours is Alan Tudyk as Alan Scott i am a die hard firefly/serenity fan and i never thought of this, I also was a supporter of Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordon

you better suited for marvel cast as lEEE777 said it so weird to see you doing dc cast

your marvel fan cast are beyond perfect also this one thump up for hard works check out my

JGL would be a bad ass Rayner. Nice job
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 8/15/2010, 1:17 PM
bleedthefreak: Cheers dude! I'm really hoping that his performance as Steve Rogers will give him the chance to play some slight different, and more serious, roles in future! I'd not really seen Levitt in much until Inception and although he'd make a superb Riddler/Joker, I knew I had to find another role for him and Kyle Rayner is a good fit IMO! I too love Firefly/Serenity (which is why I'm so excited to see what Whedon does with The Avengers) so it was good to find a role that Tudyk fits perfectly! Glad you like it!

TANK: Lol, it feels weird to do a DC cast! I've done a few in the past but they were mainly characters I knew about...I've only actually been reading Green Lantern for a few weeks!!! :D But you're not wrong. Marvel will always be my strong point - I just wish I could think of some more casts featuring those characters as it feels like I've done them all at this point! Anyway, thanks! I appreciate the compliment! Sorry if I've missed any of your recent casts but I rarely get time to check out "Fan Fic" these days! I'll go have a look at your Arkham Asylum one now though!

Creature: Thanks man - I instantly liked the character since reading "Green Lantern: Rebirth" and despite the fact he's the wrong race, I think he's perfect for the role!

Hawksblueyes - 8/15/2010, 1:38 PM
Great cast Josh! I would prefer Seann William Scott or Bradley Cooper for Guy Gardner but a great cast none the less.
Protonite
Protonite - 8/15/2010, 1:58 PM
I think it's a very good casting. And personally, I'd rather have Evans as Gardner than Bradley Cooper. The guy's over-rated, over-suggested and should get stuck working in rom-coms.
AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 8/15/2010, 2:05 PM
No problem Josh.

Can you picture a JLA movie with those two in tight leather and underwear? Man oh man can i say "entertaining"! Yvonne and Cobie are jizz worthy IMO.

great casting,especially liked elisha cuthbert as arisia rrab.

would love to see sodam yat in one of the green lantern movies as well.

well done,mate.

Great cast! Not all my first choices but i Can't really see any there I don't agree with! Good to see you back in fan fic your one of the best around here I reckon. Do you reckon you could give my Phantom cast look-see? It's a few below yours. Anyway, hope to see you in fan fic more often.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 8/15/2010, 3:05 PM
TANK: Just checked out your Arkham Asylum cast...love your Batman choice!

lc: Cheers! :)

HAWKS: Thanks bud! Seann William Scott is another fine choice for Guy, although I've recently really come around to the idea of him playing Deadpool! I know he's been in some crappy movies but he's actually a decent actor in my opinion!

Protonite: Hallelujah! Finally someone who's on board with my Chris Evans choice, lol! I've not really seen Cooper in much more than The Hangover and The A-Team (both of which he was pretty good in) but Evans just fits the role of Guy much better IMO!

NightAvenger: My God, that is a glorious thought! I dream of seeing the beautiful Yvonne Strahovski squeezed into Ms. Marvel's costume! I love Chuck but the scenes with her in various skimpy outfits just about make it my #1 show, lol! :P

deadpool72: Cheers dude - now that he's taking a larger role in things as Ion (at least up to the point where I'm reading!) I'm also hoping that he'll get some sort of role in the upcoming movies!

MrMurdock: Thanks man, I appreciate that! :) It's good to be back here in "Fan Fic". I just feel guilty that I rarely get time to check out the work you guys do like I used to...I'm going to make an effort to check back here more often though and maybe go back to at least doing a couple of casts a month! (and yeah, I'll go take a look at your cast now!)

GREAT FAN CAST!

I think I'd rather swith Kilowog and Kehaan though. I think they'd be better playing the opposite roles. Sorry if my sentences done make sense, im just stopping back for somethin and heaadinf back out! tootles! ]

But nice!

Great cast Josh@!

You ain't too bad at this DC stuff! LOL

Nice to see you here making a fancast!

To me Chris Evans makes a fine Guy!

I like Seann Williiam Scott for Guy
Gardner, myself!

Keep up the DC! This is just a fine GL
casting!
DDD
DDD - 8/16/2010, 3:12 PM
BTW, Alan Tudyk is simply inspired casting for
Alan Scott!
Jordacar
Jordacar - 8/16/2010, 7:45 PM
Great cast. I especially love your picks for the core. But please please PLEASE no more Chris Evans. Ever. Seriously, the man has four (COUNT THEM! FOUR!!!) comic book characters under his belt already. I don't care how good he is for Guy. He's done.

And even if that weren't the case, I think he's too similar to Ryan Reynolds anyway.

Great casting. I mentioned Omar Epps for John Stewart when Leee did his Green Lantern casting a while back. So, I am glad you have gone with that choice.

Nice job, I had Joeseph Gordon Levitt as Raynor a while back, and was told it was horrible idea, it's nice to see people here agree.

James Franco as Sodam Yat is a good choice but the rest suck.
RomatEr
RomatEr - 8/23/2010, 12:36 AM
Dude Mickey Rourke as Kilowog is an amazing idea.

Chris Evans is inspired but he's getting too many superhero roles.

Most of them are pretty [frick]ing good, but I'd make different choices for the female characters.

great cast! um, as long as we're floating 40-somethings for guy, though, i still think matthew mcconaughey is the perfect gardner. thought so since the first time i saw him. oh, and milla jovovich for boodikka... mila is just too young and too slight. soooo effing hot, though.
