OH GOOD GOD NO!!!

Why didn't you just stay with your excellent pick of ERIC BANA??? : /

BEHR all the way!!!!

MEYERS can't [frick]ing act and is too skinny!

He's got a 10 year olds body LOL!

(He wouldn't even make a good INVADERS NAMOR?!?)

JASON BEHR easy =



Hell, VIN DIESELS a Zillion times better than MEYERS!



: P

Great Photoshop though!

LOL, I stayed on this page just to see Lee's reaction. It was well worth it.

Meyers is a decent actor, he kind of overacts on Tudors, but he's not "terrible"

I used Eric Bana in my Invaders cast, and I really liked your manip of him. He'd be my choice if Marvel went a little A-list for the Invaders. If they wanted a bit of a lesser-known actor, Luke Goss.

@LEEE- You go from saying that Meyers can't act to saying Diesel is abetter option?! I oughtta crawl through this internet connection and give you the ho-check you deserve for that comment!

Diesel sucks at acting. Meyer does not look threatening AT ALL. Plus he's WAY too scrawny.He's a decent actor,though. Eric Bana all the way.
Ryden
Ryden - 5/15/2010, 4:58 PM
LEEE is officially stupid...suggesting Vin Disel for any role other than [frick]ing Gladiator over an actor like Meyers is proof of this ;D

Meyers all the way..he's an awesome actor.

LEEE do you not realise that he is an ACTOR and would BULK UP for the role if needed, just face it Meyers is a good choice and shitty Vin Disel isn;t...and how can you boast that Meyers can't act wehen you're backing a horro film reject Jason Behr?

But seriously though, Goss or Bana IMO would own as Namor.

Vin Diesel is bad bad actor! but i like the choice of Luke Goss as Namor, his acting in Blade 2 and Hellboy 2 were very good and he have the look. He can be a good Ant Man too.

Rhys Meyer,Bana,Goss are all good choices...BEHR is Superman!

@Ryden- Hartnett is hit or miss...mostly miss. He's had a couple roles that have been good: Lucky Number Slevin, Wicker Park, The black Dahlia, and Black Hawk Down. That's about it though.

DDD - 5/16/2010, 12:35 AM
Leee@ bud, I just can't understand how you can cut
down a rather good actor and then say Vin Diesel is
an excellent actor. Vin is awful and has the exact same
thick New Jersey accent in every role he performs.
It's not too bad when he's playing ghetto or a tough
guy but he would just be awful as the educated highly
intelligent King of Atlantis.

Vin may have the body but he just does not have the right
acting for the role of Namor. I don't think
Namor has a thick New Jersey accent. lol

I like Behr or especially Eric Bana but Goss has
gotten too old. Goss is a good actor though. Rhys
Meyer is a classically trained actor and can pull
off the arrogant royal persona of Prince Namor. He
LOOKS like Namor without hardly any make-up! lol

What if? It would be a joke. Meyers is 5'10" and scrawny. Namor is 6'2" and has a very imposing physique. Put Meyers on the rack, some heavy duty steroids and 40 lbs later he might work as Namor. Otherwise....uh uh. Eric Bana is actually growing on me as far as fitting the Namor role. 6'3", good physique already that could be tightened up some. Good actor.
AshleyWilliams
AshleyWilliams - 5/16/2010, 2:12 PM
Meyer is WAY too short and scrawny. You guys didn't want Sam Worthington(i didn't either) because of the same reason. Plus he's Austrailian,but still.
jarydevan
jarydevan - 5/16/2010, 4:50 PM
@ryden
correction, josh hartnett is a great actor
watch resurrecting the champ and see how hartnett carries samuel l. jackson's shitty acting skills
Ryden
Ryden - 5/16/2010, 8:19 PM
@Ranger- He'd bulk up for it, do people forget that he's an ACTOR? Of cours he'd bulk up for the role. And the height isn't that big of a deal, it's not like Namor's height is iconic unlike Wolverine or something.

@NightAvenger- Look at my reply to Ranger

@Jaryd- Sorry dude, but there is no justification at all for saying Josh Harnett is a good actor and then going on to say Samuel L Jackson is shit...don't think so buddy.
Ryden
Ryden - 5/16/2010, 8:21 PM
Plus guys, he's got the official Marvel hoodie

Guess it's official he's Namor ;D LOL

dphoenix74 - 5/16/2010, 8:26 PM
i still love the Idea of Eric Bana for Namor!!! That is why i did the first poster.. for me he is the first runner up!!!
zephyr
zephyr - 5/16/2010, 9:51 PM
Sorry but no. Namor needs an actor that has a strong physical presence and a brute force quality.

I still think David Boreanaz would be a great choice but sadly he may be a little too old for the role.
Ranger14
Ranger14 - 5/16/2010, 11:35 PM
Ryden@ Meyer may be able to bulk up for the part if he took some 'roids and hit it heavy for 2-4 months. Namor is known for his imposing physique, so I do see his height as being important. Namor doesn't wear much for a costume, so his physique is very important in my opinion. A short muscular frame is not as imposing as a taller muscular frame. Especially when you are battling alongside Evans and possibly Hemsworth down the road.
TheSoulEater
TheSoulEater - 5/18/2010, 2:59 AM
@Everyone, Jonathen Rhys Myers Bulking up for the role is not an "Impossiblity" and while indeed he doesnt wear much of a costume, please keep in mind that unlike people like tombstone or Bane, Namor's physique speaks nearly nothing for his inhumane strength, ...Body builder yes, but seriously people, the guy lifts trucks and punches holes through Invisable womans shields, his strength is IMMENSLEY inhuman. Him doing what he does in the comics such as go toe to toe with the Thing, or Tanks, or Ship Hulls will be enough to convince the audience of "OH SHOOT THIS GUYS NOT TO BE MUCKED WITH.."

As Rydan said, this guy has a PRESENCE, and Namor is all about Presence..baring..Noblity and intolerence for defiance. Ryes has the ablity to convay that in his glances and airs, he's not just a brute, he's royalty, the good side of sheer tyranicl royalty. Adding muscles to that, seems much more favorable then simply trying to teach how to convay that with a someone who does all of his stunts and non of his acting...

*COUGH* Vin Deisel...

Sorry thats just my opinion.

And besides, look at thor...as impressive as i'm sure Chris is, i doubt he comes in close proximaty with the muscle stature of the actual ODIN son in the comics, so what do they do? They compinsate with muscular armor to augment his natural physique. With the ultimate dark suited version we only see his arms, shoulders, and chest, all of which can be made up and built up to be more impressive. Much easier then bulking ones whole body up like that twilight wolf.

Ryden - 5/18/2010, 7:47 PM
@Ranger- I highly doubt they'd go for the practically naked look for Namor on film, and really height is not the problem here...it's not like his height is significant or stands out unlike Wolverine or Thor...Also the fact still remains that facially he looks more like Namor than anypne else, he's also the better actor out of most suggested besides Eric Bana
dphoenix74
dphoenix74 - 5/18/2010, 11:29 PM
Is funny... Both actors played Henry VIII, Bana in "The Other Bolein girl" and Meyer in "The Tudors"
TheSoulEater
TheSoulEater - 5/19/2010, 6:29 AM
@Dphoenix I just noticed that too...lol

@Ryden Like i just said, your right on...they'll go for the ultimate Black suited Namor Version for sure, and the biceps, that are shown can be made up, and what isn't made up by that will be by the ammount of damage he inflicts.
