I figured that we'd round
out the Justice League before we move on to other projects. So far,
our updated cast list as voted on by the readers of this blog:
Wonder Woman: Olivia Wilde
The Flash: Neil Patrick
Harris
Aquaman: Ryan Gosling
Now, we can assume that if
they do a Justice League movie, they will keep Henry Cavil as
Superman. Ryan Reynolds is iffy, but we'll leave him on the list.
So if they take the current lineup in the comics, we still have the
following roles to fill:
Cyborg and Batman
Let's start with Cyborg.
For those unfamiliar,
Victor Stone was a top-notch teen athlete. But a horrible accident
nearly took his life. His scientist father used all the powers at
his disposal to keep him alive, but he turned him into a Cyborg: part
man, part machine.
While he uses his powers
for all kinds of versatile technological ends, he hates his new life
because he feels he has been robbed of his natural talent. Part of
his struggle is coming to terms with how much he is machine and how
much he is man.
So here are our potential
Cyborgs:
His
small part as Thresh in the Hunger Games showed an intesity and
physicality that could be powerful in this performance
Donald
Glover
After
famously having campaigned for Spider-man, Glover is clearly looking
for super hero work. He has the physicality, and comedic actors can
do very good drama. This would be a good jump from Community
Jesse
Williams
His
turn as the bright, but doomed teenager in Cabin in the Woods showed
that Joss Whedon saw something in him.
Elijah
Kelly
Granted
the musical talents he displayed in Hairspray probably won't be of
much use as Cyborg, he proved he had a physical adeptness that he
will need to tackle the character.
As
one of the leads in Chronicle, he proved he can work in a heavy
sci-fi genre.
None of the above, only this guy can do Cyborg justice:
