Here's a list of some actor's that i feel just need to be in a Comic book movie, Regardless if its MARVEL or DC..

Some of these actor's don't really have a 'Super-Hero' So not all of them i necessarily want to be Super-Hero's, but that i want to some kind of role in a Comic Book movie whether that means - Villain, Friend, Scientist, Supporting role, Or just the main guy (Super-Hero)


1. Matt Bommer



Matt just kind of has this look that everytime i see him i am like "Man this guy needs to be a Superhero.."

Honestly I'm not completely sure who he could play, but I would be so down to see him in a Comic Book movie..


2. Kiefer Sutherland



I'm not a big '24' fan.. but i do happen to like Kiefer a lot as an actor and he just always brings such good character into everything he is so i could see him being some sort of agent for S.H.I.E.L.D? but with a bigger, more type of Alexander Pierce (from Cap : the winter soldier) type of role, Or something else? Just something!


3. Alan Tudyk



Alan is great.. he can go from super funny sort of a goofy character to serious, bad ass or bastard. So i could see him either being a supporting character or villain..?


4. Sean Penn



Oh man.. Sean Penn, who doesn't love this guy? He's spectacular, What's funny is i love seeing him as a villain 'Gangster Squad' But then i also just love seeing him play a good character, and i would kill to see him do some Marvel film or something, I've wanted to see him do something for a while..

I could honestly see him be anything..


5. Garret Hedlund



I always kinda pictures Garret to play Johnny Storm, but we all know that's not happening. And honestly not really sure who he could play but i can really dig the idea of him being in a Comic book movie.


6. Benedict Cumberbatch



Come on now.. Haha, Benedict is one of the most common pics for a villain or superhero in a Comic Book movie, Probably cause people know he can pretty much play anything.. He's great and I would be really excited to hear he's doing a Comic book movie :)


7. John Krasinski



WAIT.. I know what your thinking, Jim from 'The Office'..? really? Cause that's what i would think but this guy has done serious stuff before and he's actually a super solid actor 'Away we Go' - 'Leatherheads' - 'Promisedland' - 'Nobody Walks'

And plus Paul Rudd will be Ant-Man and Chris Pratt is Star-Lord which is awesome so why can't John do a Super-hero role? Now I'm not literally saying he should play a Super-Hero but he could have a supporting role, something and as weird as it sounds i really want to see that!


8. Chadwick Boseman



Chadwick is honestly really a great actor, '42' pretty much proved how bad-ass of an actor he is, He really draws me in whenever i watch a movie with him in it.. So Ummm, Marvel.. DC? ya better hurry!

But really.. He could play somebody, Young Nick Fury? or an actual Super-Hero? something!!


9. Anson Mount



First thing i think when i see Anson is a villain, but then again he can play a pretty bad-ass hero, so lets get this guy on the big-screen!




10. Matthew Gray Gubler



I see him as Scientist.. (no really?..) haha, but really i think he could do something really legit in a film he could be a villain smarty pants? Or a supporting role in a Comic book movie.. BRING IT!


11. Jon Berthnal



Walking Dead booooyyyyyy! haha, i know this guy can pull off a intimidating villain. Or just anything really.


12. Dominic Purcell



Dominic Toretto.. Oops, Purcell. is a pretty legit actor 'Prison Break' - 'Killer Elite' - and i feel like he could also play a pretty bad-ass, intimidating Villain? any ideas?



- WELL,


There are some Actor's that i would love to see appear in a Comic Book movie, i have nothing specific for any of them, but if you have any cool ideas comment who you could see them playing!


DIRECTORS i want to see Direct a Comic Book Movie!


1. Guy Ritchie 'Sherlock Holmes'



Guy Ritchie has a really good feel to his movies, Great humor, great writing, Great cinematography. Everything just the feel! I love it and i would be so excited to find out he would be directing a Comic Book movie..


2. Francis Lawrence 'I am Legend' - 'Hunger Games : Catching Fire'



Ahh man.. I love his work, 'I am legend' just everything was really great, and 'Hunger Games : Catching Fire' the effects, the tone and coloring in the film, and his films in general is just so good! I love Francis Lawrence and i would die if he were to make a Comic Book film!



3. J.j. Abrams 'Mission Impossible 3' - 'Super 8' - 'Alias'



Frick is Mr. Abrams have a busy schedule, haha.. But just the idea of him making a Comic Book Film would be great, Considering how serious he takes his films and makes it stick out so much is great, Thats something for Comic Book Films need, A powerful story, strong feel in the film and he's got all that. I mean come on he's Directing Star Wars 7!


4. Brad Bird - 'Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol' - 'The Incredibles'




Having an idea of how to direct a Super-Hero film is a good start, Also 'Mission Impossible : GP' He knew how to make a (Team) feel and give each Character a sort of equal significant role which is needed in the Comic Book world, Also his action, writing within his films is just great and i know he'd give an excellent film!

Anson Mount would have been a great Batman/Bruce Wayne, and John Krasinski is my choice for The Flash (preferably Barry).

Guy Ritchie should direct Daredevil.

John didn't bow out, Robert Downey Jr told Fiege no and put Chris Evans in the running (and basically made Marvel take him).

Guy Ritchie is directing ' The Man from U.N.C.L.E.' which was made into a comic book. So technically, he is directing a comic book movie!

Dominic Purecell is an odd actor to me. When I watch Prison Break he sounds so stoic, emotionless, bored and terrible a lot of the time but at other times he shows genuine, really believable emotion and acting skills. It's weird, like he constantly fluctuates between terrible and good.

@themidnightking Yeah, Evans has grown on my as Cap.

Whenever I see Chris North and Patrick Warburton I always think Kingdom Come. Too bad it'll never happen.

Anson Mount for wolverine, if he's short enough. Yes, I am one of those people who wants a short and harry wolverine. He's way more intimidating that way.

MangySaddle - 2/22/2014, 2:01 PM
Alan Tudyk is great in everything he does. Very scary guy in Dollhouse. If you haven't seen the show, do so.

Benedict Cumberbatch should have been Mister Fantastic. its a shame nobody at fox saw it.

Casey Affleck, Jason Statham, The Rock, Matt Damon, Dicaprio, Chris Pine, Joel Edgerton, Gerard Butler and Denzel Washington are who I want to see in a CBM
