FAN CAST: The Defenders

@josh you always pic the best fan cast man its like you're in my brain. :] Michael C. Hall for DD is brilliant! Do me favor check out my article on my sundance experience. :]

Wow! Fantastic Cast! You did the whole roster
for the whole Defenders run! Geez! Now that's
a lot of work! Holy Moley Josh@!

Like your pick for Reed Richards! Hugh Laurie
is older and that's what Reed is supposed to be!
Finally someone has got it right!

Plus Nathan Fillion as Nighthawk, that's a great
idea! And David Boreanaz is perfect for Wonderman!

You used my Captain Britain guy for The Black
Knight! Rupert is such an excellent actor! I'm a
big fan of his!

JOSH @ Cool buddy, well you know i hate SPOCK boy for NAMOR lol (Thought you had him perfect in ALPHA FLIGHT dude as NORTHSTAR).

But like the rest man, a lot of these youve cast before though, but i can feel your pain, ive done like 20 castings or so too, impossible not to use the same ppl!

Glad you've kept to DEXIE as DD man kudos!!

I wont say nothing about PINE lol, i think we all know my views on him lol, anyway hell man, this would be an epic of Marvel movies, good stuff dude!

Luv the FILLION pick dude, stellar!

An of course DEPP for STRANGE!!! ; D

Set2Fallfirst: Cheers dude! Hall would make an amazing DD! There have been literally dozens of times in Dexter when I could just imagine the mask on his face, lol! I'll go check out that article now! :)

TYLER: Thanks man! I know you have your own (great) choices for a few of those you've listed above that I actually agree with you about (Liam Neeson for Doctor Strange etc) but Im glad you like the majority of my picks! The hardest part about this cast is I have 2 or 3 choices for some of the characters so I just tried to use a mash up of some of my past picks!

I was actually really close to using your Evangeline Lilly pick as Wasp but Im waiting until I sit down and watch some of seasons 1-5 of Lost (ordered the box set a few days ago!) until I make a final choice!

DDD: Thanks a lot bud! :) Lol, yeah - its taken me quite a while going through all of the members on Wikipedia! I left a few of the lesser known characters out but I think thats only about 10 or less! I'll be making a New Defenders cast in a few days as well!

I agree, Mr. Fantastic should be an older actor who you should actually be able to believe is a genius...with Hugh Laurie, I can actually imagine the Reed from the comic books rather than that oaf from the last two movies, hehe! :D

Boreanaz has been my top choice for Wonder Man for ages - Im glad you like the idea as well! I have to give YOU full credit for why I cast Jones as Black Knight! He's an amazing choice for Captain Britain but Im sticking with Michael Fassbender, lol!

OZY: Thanks! I also like Neeson as Strange but Depp just beats him in who I'd most like to see play the character!

LEE: Thanks man - yeah, its got to the point where its impossible to not end up including at least a few of the characters I've cast before! I tried to use a mix in this one though by changing a few and using my second or third choice for others! Northstar is the best choice for Quinto but I havent really found any other actors I'd prefer as Namor so he remains my top choice for that role as well for now! And hell yeah, Depp for Strange! ;)

Talontd: Thanks mate! I also didnt realise that Hounsou was that old - I have to agree with you and TYLER now, he's a little too old for the part! I'll have to reconsider who I'll cast in the part when I do my Black Panther fan cast!

No to Depp as Strange, he isn’t right for the role. LIAM NESSON FOR STRANGE!! Depp’s the perfect Blaze tho ;)

Ed Norton as the Hulk?!?! That would never work ;D

Quinto is a decent choice for Namor, but Jonathan Rhys Meyers is perfect!

Ackles for Hawkeye but Pine is definitely a good choice…my third to be exact.

Can’t see Hannigan for Hellcat.

Affleck is a good Moonknight choice, I still say Wentworth Miller though.

Bret Harrison is my second spidey choice, Jim Sturgess all the way man!!

Longoria would make a great Wasp.

Great Panther pick.

Hmmm interesting choice for Beast, I like it. I like Benecio Del Toro for the character though, still Crudup is a very nice choice.

Damage Wonderman pic ;)

No to Serinda Swan I honestly think she can’t act to well.


I like the majority of them. And even the ones I've pointed out I still like them I just have actors I've already picked for them. Still great cast!

TYLER: Cool man, I look forward to it! (Lost and your fan cast, lol!) To see my new choice for Cap (though I most definitely still support Ackles!) check out my new article under "Editorials"!!! :)

Ryden: Thanks for the deatiled feedback dude - comments like that are always great to see! I actually cast Jonathan Rhys Meyers at some point in the past but I've never seen all that much of him act so for now Im sticking with Quinto! Your choices that you mention are all really good though and I could easily see any of them in the roles as well!

@joshw haha totally. Have been watching the latest episodes of dexter......Joygasmic central

Set2Fallfirst: Where exactly are you with Dexter at the moment? Are you right up to date with S4 now? :)

PETE: Wow, thanks a lot bud! Yvonne Strahovski has quickly become one of my favourite actresses and I think she'd make a great Valkyrie!

I wasnt (and to an extent Im still not) 100% sure about Casey but after seeing him in Gone Baby Gone I think he could pull it off!

I wasnt the first person on CBM to suggest Hall as DD (I dont know who was) but I agree - he's an amazing choice!!

@josh I am right up to date with season 4 cant wait till tomorrow Im excited. John Lithogaw is doing amazing.

Set2Fall: Cool man! I live in the UK so have to wait until its online on Monday! The promo for the next episode gave me goosebumps!!! "Hello, Dexter Morgan..." Lithgow is simply amazing - the Thanksgiving episode was [frick]ing intense, lol! :)

This might just be the mother of all castings, except I'd still want Chiklis playing Thing, and Gyllenhaal for Spidey.

Very first comment.

"He's too old man to be in a DR STRANGE origin movie, so its alright to have a very old dr strange but not CAP then lol??"

Um, pretty much. Strange is supposed to be an older character anyway. Comparing him to Cap makes no sense.

@LEEE- Um unless your not familiar with the comics let me fill you in man...Dr Strange IS old!!! I mean how can you not know that? He's around 50 maximum so what's wrong with Liam Neeson? Who looks a lot like him and is one of the greatest actors of all time?? Origin movie or not Strange was always older than most heroes. Read the comics man ;)

great cast dude

Once Again, Great Casting!
The only one's i dont like are
-Namor-Either Jeffery Donovan or Vin Diesel for Namor,Quinto is way to small for the role.Quinto is Quicksilver!
-Mr Fantastic-Hugh is to old,Billy Crudup for Mr Fantastic!
-Beast-Billy Crudup is Reed. So Micheal Shanks For Beast!
The Rest are Awesome!
