I think a Legion of Doom movie would seem a natural, and a refreshing change from superhero team movies. Who would you cast in such a film? Please understand I’m going by the team from the Challenge of the Superfriends series, so knock yourselves out with the casting.
Well, I don’t know much about The Legion Of Doom so I don’t know if ANY of these people will be right, but I recommend Margot Robbie, Jurnee-Smolette-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, And/or Chris Messina.
I love the Challenge of the Superfriends Legion of Doom, but for a feature film, that’s a lot of characters. I’d pair it down to these 7-
Lex Luthor- Jimmi Simpson
Joker- Bill Skarsgard
Cheetah- Samara Weaving
Black Manta- Trevante Rhodes
Zoom- James McAvoy
Despero- Dijamon Hansou
Sinestro- Luke Evans
Giganta- Gwendoline Christie
Toyman- Josh Gad
Brainiac- Jeffrey Wright
Star Sapphire- Alicia Vikander
Poison Ivy- Ana de Armas
Dr. Psycho- Peter Dinklage
Gorilla Grodd- Javier Bardem
Parasite- Jim Gaffigan
Solomon Grundy- Braun Strowman
Bizarro- Henry Cavill
Scarecrow- Penn Badgley
Captain Cold- Joel Edgerton
Riddler- Harry Treadaway
I am glad i am not the only one who thinks lukes evans would be a good sinestro.
@prescriptionhipster Far from it- he was even rumored to have landed the roles few years ago when they were looking at making a GL Corps movie. People got excited and created some fan art, but it didn’t happen. Or it didn’t happen yet anyway…
Circe- Anya Chalotra
Abra Kadabra- Ben Barnes
Mirror Master- Tom Flannigan
Prometheus- Christian Bale
Livewire- Giorgia Whigham
I know I’ve stated that Charlize Theron would be a perfect Giganta, but another actress I think would be great for the role would be Taraji P. Henson. What does everyone else think?
@patterson65.37405 I’d say yes, cause she’s a good actress, but she’s also 49 years old. Which wouldn’t be a problem if the role was different. But playing Giganta means a lot of green screen filmed action sequences. Which would be asking a lot of someone almost in their 50’s, especially if the character returns for sequels.
I hadn’t thought of that. But, if not Giganta, and if Wanda Sykes isn’t available, maybe the Queen of Fables?
@patterson65.37405 Definitely- the Queen of Fables is generally a character that has others fight for her. Much less physical role.
