FAN CAST: Old Man Logan

FAN CAST: Old Man Logan

With it being announced that Mark Millar will be overseeing Marvels slate of films over at FOX; I figured it'd be a great time to share my dream cast for one of my favourite books: Old Man Logan

Ed Harris as Logan



For this role, you'd need an actor who's capable of showing a lot of inner rage and restraint; someone haunted by their past. I think Ed would be a great choice, as he's an actor who has a rough exterior and can not only play a badass, especially if you've seen A History of Violence; but he can also bring a strong emotional core to the film. Also, Ed is that right age where he's not too young for the role, but not too old either. May need to bulk up a bit. Maybe have him workout with Hugh Jackman for a couple of weeks :P

Clancy Brown as Clint Barton/Hawkeye



A relatively unknown and underappreciated actor. Clancy is around the same look and age for an older version of Hawkeye. He's also pretty familiar with comic book movies voicing characters from Odin to Parallax. I think they could really finally utilize him in a live action comic book movie finally.

Alternatively, I'd also cast Jude Ciccolella (but to be honest, Clancy seems like a more fun choice wouldn't you say?)

Maria Bello as Maureen



Maria looks the part; she's also a strong and capable actress who could equally handle the gravity of the situation that her family is in.

Jared Gilman as Scott Logan
Kara Haywwod as Jade Logan



Both of these kids were great in Moonrise Kingdom. They're around the same age as Logans kids; and they have a great chemistry on screen.

Peter Fonda as Abraham Donovan



Fonda has the look of Abraham, plus I could see him and Ed Harris having a lot of chemistry on screen.

YaYa DaCosta as Ashley Barton/ Spider-B*&!#



I've always thought YaYa was an under-appreciated actress. She'd be a good choice for Spider-B*$!^ and a lot better then some of these people suggesting Rhianna for the role (WHY!?)

Idris Elba as The Kingpin



I can see the comments now, "I'm tired of Idris being cast for a lot of these roles". I'm not :) In fact, he's a versatile actor and I think he enjoys making movies just as much as we do watching them.

Thomas Jane as The Punisher
Ben Affleck as Daredevil



Both actors would be a great call-out to their past performances with those characters. Good or bad, their performances are always never short of an opinion. Still, it'd be great to see them both one more time as the characters.

January Jones as Emma Frost



I didn't particularly like January as Emma Frost, but perhaps she could bring a different weight to the character in this film. I'm not going to give up on her just yet.

Richard Jenkins as Black Bolt



Has the look, and he's always been more of a comedic actor this could be a nice change for him.

Zack Gallifinakis as Tobias



Tobias is a fake, pretending to be the leader of the resistance. I know Galifinakis is a comedic actor; but this could be a nice change of pace. Where maybe he starts out charming and very 'Galifinakis' but then as the deal goes sour he becomes this hardened person, no bullshit. Could be a memorable role for the actor.

Hugo Weaving as Red Skull



Might as well try to keep continuity if the performance was good and the actor can get away with playing him still.

The Hulk Gang (CGI)



Voices:
John Dimaggio as Otis Banner
Steve Blum as Charlie Banner
Kathy Najimy as Bobby-Jo Banner

John Malcovich as Bruce Banner



He looks the part, plus in terms of playing a crazy old man -- John is pretty much typecast for the part.

While I was not a huge fan of that story, the cast you have here is pretty good.

When you have a minute, check out my latest fancast: "Avengers Legends: Hawkeye".

Brilliant Hulk man, brilliant Bruce Banner hulk.

I love your Kingpin choice, Black Bolt, Spider @$%*


Your Wolverine works..not my first choice but he works. While I love Clancy Brown, I couldn't see his younger self ever being Hawkeye.

I'd watch it! Slough I'd want Clint Eastwood as Old Man Logan...as long as the script doesnt involve no invisible men in chairs

clint eastwood would now be to old to play this role. have you seen him move around lately, he wouldn't be able to handle any of the action. I dont even know if ed harris would. You would want some one who you could add a little old age to with makeup so that they are still spry enough to look realistic durring the fighting scenes.

oh yea, I dont know about idris elba either. I dont see him really wanting to be a stereo type black gangsta style character. I do think he would be great for the roll if they changed this kingpin into a more eloquent and intelligent character, which they should do. Just because he is black and a criminal doesn't mean he has to be a "gansta thug".

The rest of your cast is really good though. That picture of Jenkins looks just like the black bolt from the book, and he has such a small part, it would be just a funny moment to see him even in that wardrobe playing that character.

Unfortunately this story has no chance of seeing the light of day as a movie. It isn't part of marvel's true timeline, and Marvel movie world wouldn't be doing any off shoots or alternate reality stories like this, at least not for a long time.

I like most of your picks.

Ed harris would be great as logan but I see him more as old bruce wayne in batman beyond. I would cast mel gibson as old man logan.

I didn't like january jones as emma frost. Melissa george will always be my first choice for frost.

The rest are great

Ed Harris would be cool, though I personally would go with Liam Neeson because he looks bulky enough, terrific actor, AND kind of looks like Hugh Jackman. Great cast either way!

If it makes you happy, I'm planning on doing a fancast for an animated adaptation of Peter David's "Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect"...
