FAN CAST: Marvel's 'New Warriors' TV Show!

Here are my casting choices and format idea for a New Warriors reality style TV show...

Although I was never a huge fan of the New Warriors I really enjoyed the run in which the team were part of a reality TV show (which came to an explosive end at the start of the Civil War!) In fact, some of my favourite episodes of shows like 'Supernatural' and 'My Name is Earl' are the ones that have been done in the style of a reality type show as they allow you to not only see the characters from a whole different point of view but and when done right it works really well.

As we're obviously never going to see a reality TV show faturing suprheroes I cant help but imagine how awesome it would be if a New Warriors TV show were to follow this format! Im not sure if the whole series should be filmed in this style but if at least part of each episode were then I would imagine the show being far more light hearted than something like 'Smallville'!

As fas ar the New Warriors' costumes are concerned it probably wouldnt be practical for them to be in the exact same outfits from the comic books. However, looking at each of the characters costumes I think it would be easy to alter them enough so that they look realistic but dont change too much from their comic book counterparts similar to what 'Smallville' have done with Green Arrow for example!

Anyway, here are my choices for the main cast of the show. Like with my Young Avengers TV Show cast, I've tried to stick with picking television actors who are obviously far more likely to appear in a TV show rather than A-List movie actors!

Kyle Gallner as Speedball



Best known to us comic book fans as 'Impulse' from Smallville, I think he has the right attitude and acting style to make a great Speedball!

Donald Faison as Night Thrahser



Though he's done a fair few other, smaller project Faison is best known as Dr. Chris Turk in 'Scrubs' - abrilliant comedic actor who's great at drama as well and perfect for this type of character in my opinion!

Tyler Labine as Microbe



How this guy isnt better know I have no idea as he's a fantastic actor. I know him off the TV show, 'Reaper' and he is a really hilarious actor who looks just right for this part!

Ian Somerhalder as Justice



I know him only from Lost and his part as Adam Knight in 'Smallville' but he's been in a fair few other things as well. These were enough to convince me that he's just right for a character like Justice!

Jared Padalecki as Nova



A great actor best known as Sam Winchester in 'Supernatural' I think that he'd not only be a great choice for this part but look at the picture above - he looks perfect for the role as well!

Mandy Moore as Namorita



I've only ever seen her in 'Scrubs' for 2 or 3 episodes but that was enough to convince me what a brilliant actress she is!

Alicia Witt as Firestar



I have to admit that I've never seen her act but I've seen a clip of her in 'Two and a Half Men' (giving a lapdance, lol) but she does seem to be a genuinely decent actress and looks the part perfectly.

So thats it, let me know what you think in the usual place and if you have any questions about why I chose these actors feel free to ask! Thanks for reading!!!

Don't know much about these characters but the actors chosen are very decent ;) I'm not much of a Jared fan but he could be a good Nova.

Hell yeah to JARED as NOVA!!!! ; )

OMG JOSH @ Ive picked IAN for JUSTICE too dude way back in the big AVENGERS cast i did!! Kudos, great minds think a like lol! ; D

I picked WITT too, but i think that was for CRYSTAL not FIRESTAR though i could be wrong lol an i cant be bothered to look lol. But whatever, i really like her as FIRESTAR dude, good pick!!!

SPEEDBALL, amazing pick, he fits perfect!! Luv him as IMPULSE an as thats DC i don't matter if hes MARVEL too, luv it!!

Is that the guy from SCRUBS as NIGHT THRASHER???! You should put a lil info for ppl that don't know the actors lol, um yeah if it is him i can see that!!! You know he's a die-hard comic book collector right???!

He'd jump at this, im sure of it!

Damn @ JOSH @ You've surpassed yourself, for once i agree with them all!! Kudos and two thumbs up!!!

Man, id love to see this, be it a movie or a tv show, both would work!!!

Right, i'm checking out ya Updated YOUNG AVENGERS now!!

DarthKyrat1: Thanks man and no hard feelings! :)

Shaman: Thanks dude! I always preffered Ackles in Supernatural even before the whole Captain America thing but Nova is one role that I could see Padalecki doing an amzing job in!

LEE: Good idea! I just added a quick description beneath each actor! Im a huge fan of 'Scrubs' but I had no idea that Faison was a comic book fan!

Im glad you like all of the chocies - thanks a lot man! :) I agree that this could work as either a TV show or a movie but I think I'd prefer TV because one superhero show aint enough, lol! Besides, its time Marvel pulled their finger out when it comes to live action TV stuff!

Stubbyswof: Thanks!

Anil Rickly: Thanks, Nova is probably my favourite choice as well simply because Padalecki just looks so perfect for the part!!! I know what you mean about Faison - I guess thats the problem when an actor plays one role for so long! Huh, I never considered Cassidy...probably because I have her lined up for another character in a different cast Im working on so keep an eye out lol!

Great cast, not one I disagree with.

Gallner and Labine are totally perfect for their roles.

Padalecki is still my number one choice for Cyclops, but he'd still be an excellent Nova.

Awesome job.

You hit the nail right on the head with

TYLER: Thanks man! :)

DDD: Thanks - as I said somewhere above, this is the first cast I've done where all the actors look perfectly like the comic book characters, lol, especially Jared!

TheCritic17: Cheers bud but wow...you've got me there with the Nitro question!!! Michael C. Hall maybe? His character Dexter has that psychotic quality that Nitro has, lol! He'd make a great guest star as well!
