SUPERMAN
Henry Cavill
Why? If Man of Steel flies, there will be little choice but to cast Henry Cavill as Superman and use MOS as the foundation of a Justice League movie franchise.
Though he could use 3-4" vertically.
BATMAN
Joe Manganiello
Why?Like it or not, Batman does require a reboot. Maybe not an origin story, but a reboot none the less. Who better to play the Dark Knight than the runner up casting for Superman MOS. This guy is a proven actor, he’s huge and possess a dark charisma. One of the reasons he missed out on MOS was that he lacked a certain innocence that Henry Cavill had. Innocence is not a Batman characteristic so what was a weakness when being cast for Superman could be his strength if considered for Batman.
"Henry's just... I love Joe too, by the way". "Really he was the only other guy I was thinking of, to be honest, other than Henry. But in the end, I think Henry just has this innocence too...".
Zack Snyder
When asked about donning the cowl for the next Batman reboot Joe responded:
"From your mouth to God's ears, man. I mean of course, I grew up, as a kid, I read comic books, and I watched every single comic book movie that ever... You know, I was a big sci-fi fan, I was just that kid. I'm a fanboy at heart. So, yeah, that is on my radar."
Joe Manganiello
I have heard some people say that he would be too big in comparison to Cavill and it would look like Batman could kick Superman’s backside. I’m sure Superman is shaking in his red boots. Sure Cavill could use a few extra inches but we can’t go down the path of casting Peter Dinklage as the Dark Knight now can we?
WONDER WOMAN
Megan Fox
Why?If a picture paints a thousand words then I need not say no more. She was born to play this role. Just look at her! Only question is, has she got the acting chops and will she want the gig. I have doubts as to whether she could hold a stand-alone franchise together with her acting abilities. She has not been receptive to the idea of playing WW saying:
"Wonder Woman is a lame superhero... She flies around in her invisible jet and her weaponry is a lasso that makes you tell the truth. I just don’t get it. Somebody has a big challenge on their hands whoever takes that role but I don’t want to do it."
Megan Fox
I guess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are not lame! She doesn't get WW but she does get TMNT. WTF!
Lynda Carter responded to Fox's comments by saying:
"Megan Fox actually kind of trashed Wonder Woman," "She said she thought it was dumb, like 'what's the big whoop making people tell the truth.' I like her, I just thought she shouldn't trash Wonder Woman."
Lynda Carter
I haven’t seen her in many movies lately and she recently signed up for TMNT so she might just take what she can to get a pay check.
GREEN LANTERN
Idris Elba
Why?After the disastrous Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds we need a good old fashion shake up. Well let’s not go back, let’s go black. John Stewart black. A guy who has a lot of fan support to be cast in this role, including mine, is Idris Elba. Hopefully we don’t get another CGI suit and shallow storyline. Ryan Reynolds seems to have lost interest in the role saying:
"It's just that... working on 'Green Lantern,' I saw how difficult it is to make that concept palatable, and how confused it all can be when you don't really know exactly where you're going with it or you don't really know how to access that world properly - that world comic book fans have been accessing for decades and falling in love with.So at this point I have very little interest in joining that kind of world." "But, you know, a great script and a good director can always turn that around."
Ryan Reynolds
I did not like Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern at all. I think he is too boyish, but I think he would have been a great Flash.
THE FLASH
Ryan Gosling
Why?Everybody loves Flash, but a stand-alone Flash movie would be hard to pull off, even harder than pulling off a Hulk movie. The fact that the character doesn’t have much depth in terms of his origin story. Also a movie with a hero that moves so fast that he is just a blur would be rather boring to watch. Of course you would have to use super slow motion to be able to see the action but there is only so much of that you can use in a movie before it gets annoying. To get this movie to be even a remote success were going to need some big guns. That is why I call upon Ryan Gosling. He is a great actor, a huge star at the top of his game, would suit the flash character perfectly and will appeal to the female demographic.
"If Nicolas [Refin] wanted to do 'The Flash'.... I don’t know. I’d probably have to think about it."
Ryan Gosling
Though I must say Ryan Reynolds would have been a better fit as Barry Allan.
AQUAMAN
Josh Halloway
Why?Aquaman needs his reputation repaired after being stigmatised as a lame character. Josh would certainly provide him with some brooding grittiness in attempt to make him badass.
I must say though, I was always sceptical regarding the Aquaman character but after hearing Armin S. explain how he would do JL and introduce Aquaman, I am a convert. It is the best storyline that I have heard for a JL movie and it would make Aquaman a serious superhereo again. Check out the video below.
MARTIAN MANHUNTER
Peter Mensa
Why?Peter would be an awesome MM. He can act, the looks, the voice. Period!
CYBORG
Dwayne Johnson
Why?Dwayne would be the perfect guy make Cyborg a cool character and would also bring some star power to the JL franchise.
GREEN ARROW
Joel Kinnaman
Why?Joel can play dark, rebellious Green Arrow whilst still able to play the billionaire playboy Oliver Queen.
HAWKMAN
Josh Hartnett
Why?
HAWKGIRL
Jessica Biel
Why?
BLACK CANARY
Amanda Seyfried
Why?
ZATANNA
Olivia Munn
Why?The only reason I would consider including a relatively minor character like Zatanna in JL is to have Olivia Munn play her. She would suit the character perfectly and she has shown in recent years that she can play dramatic roles. Not to mention that every fanboy will be stocking up on Kleenex tissues and KY gel after seeing the Geek Goddess work her magic in JL.
