Villain Casting Part 1 : Marvel

Villain Casting Part 1 : Marvel

I've been a busy bee looking for a few actors to throw into the roles of some potential up-coming villains.

Let us start with the already established shall we...

Green Goblin = Willem Defoe



Doc Oc = Alfred Molina



Sandman = Thomas Hayden Church



Yes, in three Spiderman movies we have been given three near perfect villain portrayals. Defoe's Goblin needed a better look and Church's Sandman needed more screen time but these actors we're perfect for their respective roles and played them brilliantly.


Lizard = Dylan Baker



Of course! He has played this part in three movies now, to hand it over would just be wrong. The Lizard himself would most likely be more CGI than anything but this man deserves to be at the core.


Vulture = Pete Postlethwaite



"Not Kingsly?!" I hear you cry. No! Kingsly is a fantastic actor, maybe too good for Spiderman. No matter how good a square peg is it will never fit into a round hole. I think Pete would fit into the Spiderman universe much more convincingly.


Kraven = Gerard Butler



Do I really need to justify this? Yes there is a good argument for Josh Brolin to get into the fury waistcoat but for the same reason I chose Pete for Vulture, I think Gerard will fit into the universe better and is much more athletic.


Tombstone = Jason Statham



This might not go down too well but I think this role is great for Jason. He is built for the part and a great screen fighter. This is a villain that doesn't need a high caliber of acting talent (no offense to Statham), he is hired muscle, a killer, nothing more.


Mr Sinister = Jason Isaacs



The eyes! This guy just radiates evil. His acting is top-notch and...well, he's perfect! What more do you want?


Carnage = Robert Carlyle



Can Robert do an American accent? Would we tolerate an English Cletus Cassidy? I don't know. All I know is this guy can play psycho like Hendrix played guitar! I would love to see him have a go at this.


Galactus = Cloud



Yes, what says "devourer of planets" better than the humble cloud on the brink of getting a bit feisty? OK, so that one's a joke.



Part 2 is all about DC and (imo) has some much more interesting choices than part 1. Stay tuned...

I think Tombstone was just a regular ol' evil albino, I don't think they ever tackled his actual ethnicity. Though I think Statham could pull it off, he sucks in his own movies as the main character, but put him in as a supporting character, anything but the main character he does fine.

@Howlett, Good choices but there is one massive thing wrong up there! Robert Carlyle is Scottish not English! ;)

TheAnswer - So he is! Meant to say British but just got carried away. No offense to anyone!

Yes, Tombstone is an albino black guy but due to the nature of the character I think we can allow a little artistic license.

I looked into other characters like Venom and Shocker but no one really jumped out and made me say "hell yes" with any enthusiasm. I didn't want to throw half hearted castings in there but I will keep looking!

@Howlett04 NEWS FLASH Tombstone is a black guy so he should be played by one michael jai white would be 100% perfect for tombstone he fits the tombs the best

I just want to see michael jai white in more cbm's period. He's a cool actor that doesn't get as many roles as he should. Personally, I thought he would have been a good blade. He does look like tombstone though...

Michael Jai White for Bishop!!!

People! Tombstone is an albino black guy. Therefore getting a white guy to play him is no further off the mark than getting a black guy. Personally I don't care about his colour, I only care about his personality, essence or whatever you like to call it. I think Statham has what it takes.

@Howlett, I just don't see tombstone in Statham


@Shaman, Once again, nice pic you artistic show off! lol!

Jai White would be a perfect bishop. Too bad we'll never see bishop in film

All great pics, except for Statham, but I just have an undying hatred of the guy :)

I can't say I would disagree with any others, but I have some minor preferences like Mr. Sinister, Vulture, and Carnage.

But all in all, great cast.

So what if Tombstone is black,the Kingpin is white but in DD he's black.

I like them, except for Tombstone. I just don't think Statham has the right voice for the role. I always saw someone like Clancy Brown voiceing him. But as for actors, I kinda like Kevin Grevioux for the role. He has the voice.

The only problem I have about your casting is Dylan Baker for Lizard. It's not even the casting really, it's just the minor error in your explanation.

He has only played Doc Connors in 2 of the Spider-Man movies. He didn't actually appear in the first movie, he was only mentioned.

THEHAWK - Kevin Grevioux is in part 2. I try not to use the same actor twice even if it is in a separate universe.

Fair points on Statham, I personally thought he had a good look for the role, each to their own.

SGA - I realised that after posting but couldn't be bothered to change it. Your just nit-picking!
