Here's my attempt to cast the most important parts of the Marvel Universe - hope you like it!

Captain America

Armie Hammer as Captain America

No offense to Chris Evans (I'm sure he'll be excellent), but Armie Hammer is a real life version of Steve Rogers. He's tall, handsome and his voice has the deep commanding nature needed for the leader of The Avengers!



Logan Lerman as Bucky Barnes

I wish they went a little younger for the real Captain America movie and Lerman is a great up and comer. I can really picture him as Bucky.



Abbie Cornish as Peggy Carter

Abbie is very underrated and she'd make a great Peggy.



John Hurt as Abraham Erskine

Hurt always excells at excels at warm, fatherly roles. His Erskine would be something special



Thomas Kretschmann as The Red Skull

Kretschmann is a great German actor who is no stranger to playing Nazis. Weaving will be great, but Kretschmann is too perfect for words.



Daredevil - The Man Without Fear

Matthew Fox as Daredevil / Matt Murdock

Any one who's seen Speed Racer knows he's perfect for Matt Murdock. Paint his costume red, add some devil horns and we're there!



Oliver Platt as Foggy Nelson

Platt is a great actor who's perfect for an older version of Foggy to go along with Matthew Fox's DD.



John Goodman as Wilson Fisk, The Kingpin

Goodman is a great actor who never seems to get enough recognition from people. He can play one evil basterd if he wants to and he looks perfect fofr Wilson Fisk.



Claire Danes as Karen Page

She's a great actress who looks the part.



Julia Voth as Elektra

No real reason.



Paul Bettany as Bullseye

When I saw the pictures for Priest, they screamed Bullseye to me. Bettany is always excellent at these pyscho roles.



Andy Serkis as The Owl

Serkis is the man. Nothing more to say.



Jack Coleman as Ben Urich

Coleman was easily the best part of Heroes. Ben Urich seems like a natrual fit.



Fantastic Four

Bruce Greenwood as Reed Richards

Bruce may be a little old, but he's perfect for Reed. He can pull this role off in his sleep.



Naomi Watts as Susan Storm

Naomi is beautiful and perfect for Sue.



Aaron Paul as Johnny Storm

Paul is hilarious on Breaking Bad, but he's got the drama chops too.



Ron Perlman as Ben Grimm

Perlman's no strangter to prosthetics and he sure has the attitude for Grimm.



Christopher Eccelston as Victor Von Doom

He plays a great villian and really needs more Hollywood roles. Eccelston's Doom would be fantastic!



Jason Momoa as Namor

After seeing him on Game of Thrones I knew he had to be in some comic book role. His presence is great and Namor would be a great role for him.



Lance Reddick as Silver Surfer

I think Lance is a real alien! Perfect for Silver Surfer!

Not bad, but Bruce really is too old to play Reed, especially if Naomi is going to be playing his wife. Loving Aaron Paul for the Human Torch though, that's great. Jason Mamoa isn't really a strong enough actor to pull off the regal like qualities of Namor, other than that though great casting.

I have only seen Hammer in Reaper but I think he would be a good Cap. I really like Kretschmann, I wanted him to be cast as Redskull. Matthew Fox would be a pretty good DareDevil. Goodman is my pick for Kingpin as well he can be pretty scary sometimes. I think Cyril Raffaelli would be a good Bullseye but, i dont know if he can speak english. I love Greenwood but he is too old, I would cast Zachary Levi as Reed and Diane Kruger as Sue. Don't know your Johnny pick. Ron Perlman would be awesome as the Thing. Eccleston would be an incredible Doom. I like Cole Hauser as Namor I think he can pull off the regalness of Namor and also be a badass. Lance Reddick is a perfect choice for Silver Surfer.the rest are good.

I really like Armie Hammer as Cap and COnan as Namor. I wonder if the producers of Cap have realized they missed out on Armie Hammer...that fuggin name would be great as cap.

haha, did you say Eccleston's Doom would be 'Fantastic!' intentionally, cos thats got like 3 hints in it (He'd be good in the role, 'Fantastic' as in Fantastic 4, and his catchphrase during his tenure as The Doctor in Doctor Who)

Anyway, the only role I would personally be cautious about is John Goodman as Kingpin, I like it when I can see actors play a role and I basically forget who they actually are in real life, but whenever I see John Goodman act, I just see John Goodman. Not saying he's a bad actor, but I don't think he's right for Kingpin. There again, could be cos the only films I've seen him in The Flinstones, The Borrowers, and Evan Almighty (as well as his voice work in Monsters Inc, Emperor's New Groove, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Raindeer movie, and The Jungle Book 2) so I can't picture him as a bad guy, let alone someone as menacing as Kingpin.

Not sure on Greenwood, but the rest is spot on!
We've got the same Silver Surfer.
