As the year 2012 comes near and near by every passing day, I finally decided to cast my own "The Avengers" team. Most of them are known favorites, some are not. Still, it doesn't mean I don't get to cast them.
I don't really plan to include Widow and Hawkeye, so give me a break [ :) ]
Starting with the Big Three:
Mark Valley as Captain America
He's been there, you know it. Anybody who has seen Human Target would know about him and his potential. Moreover, he is already a fan of Captain America, so he respects the role more than enough. Might be a bit old, but I'd prefer Cap to have a mature aspect to him. [No offense Evans!]
Beef him up a little more and he is good to go..
-
Alexander Skarsgard as Thor Odinson
Another favorite. Seen him in
True Blood, he has the heart for Thor. It might be a physical challenge, although I'm sure he could work out with a strong diet. He's got the face and the height of the Norse God, beef him up too, and he's on his way to Valahalla!
-
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Tony Stark/Iron Man
The Comedian and Clay! He has proved himself as a worthy actor in both
The Watchmen and
The Losers. Haven't seen Supernatural, but the feedback he's getting is spectacular. He is potentially the next best choice after Robert Downey, Jr. Give him a shot and make him lose weight a bit.
-
Guy Pearce as Bruce Banner
Come on I mean...He's one of the perfect actors for Bruce out there.
L.A. Confidential and
Memento. He can also play the freaked out scientist Banner too, at least I can totally see it.
Lou Ferrigno as Hulk[voice]
I don't really need to put a description here I suppose!
-
Patrick Wlson as Hank Pym/Ant-man
Saw him in
Little Children and
The Watchmen. As far as the looks go, he looks the part as well and I have full faith in his acting skills. Wilson is the guy for this role.
-
Helena Bonham Carter as Janed Van Dyke/The Wasp
She has proved herself long before most did. One of the most incredible actresses Hollywood ever had. Seen her in
Fight Club, Sweeney Todd, Terminator Salvation, Harry Potter and many others. She's the one to play The Wasp without a question in my book.
-
Kurt Russell as Nick Fury
One of the badass ones. Got the mouth, got the cigar, what else do you need... He can boss around the little heroes on his fingertips. As Snake Plisskin from
Escape from New York and the colonel from
Stargate. Russell is one of the finest out there.
-
Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill
I had her in mind way before Baccarin showed up. Currently an unknown, Smulders could easily get the "Maria Hill" attitude on the screen. Seeing her character in
How I Met Your Mother, I'm sure she's the right one for the role. The Robin character in the show is about the same as Maria Hill, in the context of 'I don't take crap from anybody mister'...
-
Yvonne Strahovski as Sharon Carter
Well, we've got it coming. Yvonne is already acquainted with the role of a spy, why not Sharon Carter? She's climbing up the ladder, and the character of Sharon Carter is perfect for her in my honest opinion.
-
Ralph Fiennes as Loki
The villain of the story! He is the bad guy, that face, that's him... That's Loki right there. His career history has the evidence that he IS Loki...
The Red Dragon, Harry Potter and maybe the next Bond villain! Fiennes is fine in my book.
-------------
So yeah, That's about it. I just view Loki as a great enemy against the team as he uses Hulk as well. It would be a real blast. What do you guys think?
