FAN CAST II: 2012's The Avengers

Here are my choices for who should play the heroes, the villains and members of S.H.I.E.L.D in 'The Avengers' movie coming in 2012!

THE AVENGERS

Jensen Ackles as Captain America

Avengers1


The best choice to play Captain America in my opinion. He's a great actor who has already diplayed everything an actor needs to bring to the role of Steve Rogers in Supernatural.

Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man

Avengers2


Yes, I know that he's already cast so this isnt my choice but he nails the character so effectively I really dont think that casting someone else in the role is in the least bit necessary!

Chris Hemsworth as Thor

Avengers9


Though he has also already been cast I think that Brannagh has made a good choice after seeing him in the first few minutes of Star Trek. Though time will tell if he's any good in the part, he's a better choice than any that I previously suggested so I look forward to seeing him in 'The Avengers'

Patrick Wilson as Giant Man

Avengers4


A great actor who I wouldnt mind seeing play Captain America himself but on the other hand his performance in 'Watchmen' showed that he'd be great as playing a character like Hank Pym!

Eva Longoria as The Wasp

Avengers5


Already rumoured to be interested in playing the character, I happen to think that the actress not only looks perfect but would also be a great match up with Wilson.

Chris Pine as Hawkeye

Avengers6


After seeing him in Star Trek I'm 100% certain that the guy would make an excellent Hawkeye! Not only can he pull off the slightly more arrogant aspect of the character but he can also effectively portray the heroic aspects of someone like Clint Barton as well.

Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow

Avengers7


Despite the fact that I think there are better choices to play Black Widow, until 'Iron Man 2' it's obviously too soon to judge. Still, I think that it would be a great idea if she were to be involved in The Avengers working alongside Hawkeye as seen in The Ultimates.

THE VILLAINS

Tom Hiddleston as Loki

Villains2


Already cast as Loki I have to admit that I've never seen him act. However, I have faith that Kenneth Branagh will do a great job with Thor and trust his casting choices. I really hope that they include Loki in 'The Avengers' and that they follow the original storyline of him manipulating The Hulk into attacking the superhero team!

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner/The Hulk

Avengers3


Another actor who's already cast but again I think that he was great in 2008's 'The Incredible Hulk'. I hope that we get to see Banner in 'The Avengers' but if not I'll be happy just to see The Hulk face off against The Avengers!

Mads Mikkelsen as Red Skull

Villains1


A choice that was originally suggested by CBM user InTylerWeTrust82 I cannot think of a better choice for Cap's greatest villain! Im not sure what his involvement in the movie would be and if they were to use the Loki manipulationg Hulk storyline he may not be needed...if he is though this guy should play him!

S.H.I.E.L.D

Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury

Avengers8


Even though there's been some controversy between comic book fans over Marvel's choice to use the Ultimate version of the character (who was originally based on Jackson) in the movie universe, I actually quite like the idea and cannot wait to see him in action alongside the other heroes.

Robert De Niro as Dum Dum Dugan

dum


A great actor who I think would have brilliant on screen chemistry with Samuel L. Jackson's Nik Fury. He seems like the perfect choice to play the grizzled war veteran who has always fought alongside Fury and it would be a great cameo for the actor to have.

So thats it guys! I know that a few of these parts have already been cast but I'd like to know what you lot think of my choice for the character who have not yet been cast and who you would choose instead if you're not a fan of my picks!

And if you have'nt yet seen them, here are a list of links to my other fan casts!

The Avengers
Young Avengers TV Show
The First Avenger: Captain America
Thor
Dark, Mighty and New Avengers
Dead Space
Captain Britain
Fantastic Four

The First Avenger: Captain America II
Daredevil
Moon Knight

Ackles didn't say no. He said Marvel haven't talked to him about it, and he doesn't think they would. But at the end he said it would be cool if they did.

Great cast, I only disagree with one of them, and I'm pretty sure that's the only one Lee will agree with you on!

The one I disagree with is Eva Longoria. She isn't a bad choice, but I just feel there are other actresses who would be better in the role.

My personal choice for Wasp is Evangeline Lily.

Though again, Cap, Pym, Hawkeye, and Red Skull are perfect. Thanks for the mention!

great casting, but Josh you might want to move it to fan fic.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/18/2009, 5:33 PM
TYLER: No worries! As Mads for the Red Skull is such an excellent idea (after all, hundreds ended up supporting the idea in Brent's poll!) it wouldnt be right if I took the credit! :) Im glad you liked the cast - Im not 100% sure about Longoria as Wasp either but Im not sure about Lily because I havent watched Lost for a long time so cant really remember what she was like!

mounted88: Thanks! CBM normally move the articles over to Fan Fic...if you leave an article like this in news first its bound to be seen by more people, lol! ;)

I like it, but its kind of what everyone's been saying. I like all the choices, but i feel that almost everyone has the same choices.

Good Job Though!!!

LEEE777 - 10/18/2009, 5:38 PM
How many times are you gonna PIMP ACKLES A$$????

: D

I feel the love!!! ; D

JOSH @ Basically these are all already cast??

Dont like your HAWKEYE, ACKLES is perfect for that, plus with him actually filming SUPERNATURAL he could film HAWKEYE scenes but not CAP lol.

Blind love i think it is, coz everyone knows he's fully busy and booked up for the next few years to even think about doing CAPTAIN AMERICA and THE AVENGERS????

The rest i like man, DE NERO though?? WASP and GIANT MAN are the goodies an they need to be cast!!

To tell you the truth bud, i cant remember who you cast in the first AVENGERS cast??? Apart from you know who!

Ackles also would be perfect for RONIN later on too!!

Anyway good fair job apart from you know who!

Wonder-dog says WOOF WOOF!

JoshWilding - 10/18/2009, 5:59 PM
BatmanKnight: Thanks but yeah, most of these choices have now become the favourites with CBM's users so they dont seem all that "new", lol! Check out my other casts though if you get chance! :)

LEE: Sorry man but Ackles has only been in one of my previous fan casts involving Captain America - Patrick Wilson was in my second Cap cast and Wentworth Miller was in my first Avengers cast whilst Chris Pine was cast as Bucky Cap in my choices for all three comic book Avengers teams!

The current season of Supernatural may actually be the last as a sixth season hasnt yet been confirmed and harly even rumoured! So Ackles would most definitely be free for both Captain America and The Avengers!

And only 6 out of the 12 have already been cast! The others are all my choices! Im glad you liked most of those anyway, thanks!

Josh: This may be a little off topic, but it does have a relation to the Marvel universe, specifically the films.

So I've been playing Uncharted 2, and I was thinking about a possible film version of it, and the cast of the characters, one in particular. Flynn, the guy who betrays you during the museum heist.

Wouldn't Tim Roth (Abomination from TIH, see, it relates) be perfect for Flynn?! He looked just like Roth in the game, and had an accent similar to Roth's.

Josh@ i know that but they also delete articles also. So i was trying to help ya out.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/18/2009, 6:32 PM
TYLER: Man, that is so weird you should say that lol! Throughout the game, I kept thinking that it actually was Tim Roth! I looked up the voice actor for Flynn and its a guy called Steve Valentine who's apparently been in a lot of US shows including House, Boston Legal and even Spider-Man 3 as a photographer according to IDMB! Tim Roth however, would be perfect for a live action version of the character!

How are you finding the game? I finished it a couple of days ago and I have to say that it is probably the best game I have ever played! I wont say too much because I dont know where you are yet but that train level is one of the greatest things I've seen in a game ever! Hell, the cutscenes were good enough to be a movie!
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/18/2009, 6:38 PM
Josh: I just got into Shambhala (I have no idea if I came close to spelling that right lol) and now I'm fighting those weird native guys with Chloe and Elena.

The game is f*cking awesome! The train level was spectacular! I also loved the part where you're jumping from truck to truck taking out the enemies.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/18/2009, 6:51 PM
TYLER: Yeah, there are just so many "Wow" moments its unreal! I could spend 30mins just writing all the great parts of the game - which would be every single thing that happenned from the moment I put the disc in my PS3, lol! The city levels set in Nepal were especially brilliant (the bit with the collapsing building especially!) and as you rightly said the train level was spectacular (especially how the scenery in the backround actually continued to change and didnt just repeat itself - I could have spent the whol level watching that, it was so realistic!)

The Shambhala (I also have no idea if thats right or not, lol) stuff at the end is really excellent and the ending is unbelievable! Im not sure what I would say was my favourite part but the museum level is definitely up there near the top - the way that Drake and Flynn clear the guards out with stealth room by room is amazingly tense and brilliantly cinematic!

JOSH @ Your welcome man, though...

This is ackles character =

PPL @ RONIN/HAWKEYE, all you lot still wanting him to do CAP which the man himself said he cant do, coz of work load and time (Which i knew anyway), your ruining his chances People to star in AVENGERS an MARVEL movies as HAWKEYE!!!

He screams HAWKEYE!!

I really do think an UNKNOWN would be good as CAP!!

Though there are other choices too, like LEO etc an my favs lol.

LEEE777 - 10/19/2009, 4:50 AM
P.S. @ JOSH dude, SUPERNATURALS classed as a success man,, if SMALLVILLE made it to SERIES 9, SUPERNATURAL will go on for a few SEASONS yet. It dont take Rocket Science.

I was right about GUY GARDNER an nearly everyone said i was wrong, an no way would he be in the GL movie and im right about this too man.

I see Ackles more of the Ultimate CAP anyway not our CLASSIC CAP!! I reckon MARVEL will pick well!

Josh & Tyler- So what kind of game is Uncharted??? What would you compare it to, game play wise and stuff...???
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/19/2009, 12:45 PM
Shaman: Its a third person shooter/adventure! Its sort of a cross between Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones I guess. The story in both is brilliant (and incredibly realistic as they use actual motion capture for the cutscenes and the in game animations) and the gameplay is amazing! The graphics in the first were the best at the time and the graphics in the second are the best I've ever seen! As you can see from my comments to TYLER above, there are some pretty breathtaking moments! I would definitely advie you to pick up both of them ASAP! :)

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune



Uncharted 2: Among Theives

GambitAceOfSpades: Thanks! I think Hawkeye will be kept until a possible sequel especially if they're going to spend time introducing Giant Man and Wasp!

teabag: Thanks mate! Who is that in that graphic? She is an awesome and incredibly hot choice, lol!

LEE: What teabag said! Sorry because I know you dont want to hear this, lol - but Ackles will most likely be available to play Captain America!

Imran: Thanks and no worries - I thought it would be a good idea to put links to my other casts...enjoy!!!

JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/19/2009, 2:52 PM
teabag: I had a feeling it might be but couldnt tell! She's definitely the better choice for Black Widow! (especially if she were to use the actual Russian accent!!!)

Damn shame Robert Redford isn't young, he would have been the best Capt America

newbee - 10/19/2009, 3:18 PM
That's a great cast Joshw 24.
Ackles would make a kick-ass Captain America. He's one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood, so he really deserves a good part.
As I understand, Supernatural does wrap their shooting in late March or early April. So if CA were to begin shooting in June or later, Ackles would be available. Especially if this is Supernatural's last season.
I like Evangeline Lilly as Wasp but I think Langoria is the better actress.
AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 10/19/2009, 4:48 PM
Great almost perfect cast!-Besides Captain America and Hawkeye of course
Captian America-Mark Valley(same age as RDJ)
Hawkeye/Ronin-Jensen Ackles
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 10/19/2009, 4:54 PM
Valley is way too old. He's 45 (give or take a year or so), Cap was frozen during his late 20's. No way does Valley look young enough for either Avengers or the origin movie. Also, what happened to the Worthington support NightAvenger?

good pics, cept for cap, but why on why oh why oh why have you put hulk in with the villains???? Hulk is a HERO, making Hulk the villain is dumbing down his character, Ultimate Hulk sucks. Why have a dumb brute villain when you can have a brooding misunderstood hero who is shunned by his own teammates? A character like the Hulk makes for a much more interesting story, I'm not opposed to Hulk fighting the Avengers but he has to join them later because he's a member of the original team. STICK TO THE COMICS PPL!!!! But once again good choices ;)

Please, no more Eva Longoria for Wasp. I know it's your opinion but I definately disagree. In the end of 2008 she denied the rumors. By the way Kristen Bell has said that she would like playing the character, IMO she looks the part. What you think about that?

Do you know if it'll have more villains in the movie, like Enchantress, Skurge and Zemo. Or should we save 'em for a sequel?

Nearly perfect casting. I don't like Ackles for Cap but I sure as f*** don't want him anywhere near Hawkeye. Lee is just delusional. He looks nothing like the character, and Pine and Renner both have superior acting chops in the loudmouth, arrogant, wildcard area. And that's what we need for our man in purple.
