Comic Book Movie Re-Cast

If you could re-cast any comic book movie who would you pick?

My first re-cast would be:

Spiderman - instead of Toby (he's a horrible actor) Mcguire I would choose Topher Grace! Yes, the guy who played venom. He would have played Peter Parker/Spiderman a whole lot better. He's funnier, looks the part better than Toby, and a better actor.

💃 💃 💃

I completely agree,

he looks the part, he has the whit and the charm to pull of peter perfectly

I hated Toby as Parker😐

I think Rob lowe would have made a great Superman.

Johnny Depp would have made an amazing Tony Stark, even though I loved Downey Jnr as the role.

Ryan Reynolds as the Flash instead of Adam Brody, who is going to play him.

I would have Justin Hartley play The Human Torch instead of Chris Evans.

I agree with Ryan Renolds.

I disagree with Johnny Depp, I believe that Robert Downey Jr. was a perfect Match.

Rob Lowe? I'm not sure about that. I thought Brandon Routh did a decent job as Superman, I thought he was too young. Eric Bana may have been better, I'm saying he's my top choice, but somebody like him. He's older, Bigger physique, looks more experienced. Both Rob Lowe and Brandon Routh are too much of pretty boys to be Superman.

Rather than Ben Afleck for Daredevil I think Scott Caan would been cooler. For those of you who don't know who is, he was in Ocean's Eleven.

I thought Toby Mguire was spot on as Parker in Spiderman 1 & 2 (but only ok as Spiderman in costume)
But I agree Brandon Routh looked a bit young to be playing Superman-Eric Bana would've looked more the part

My problem with Toby Mcguire is that he didn't mirror Peter Parker of the comics. Toby portrayed him too nerdy, too akward, and too socially retarded. Peter Parker needed be shown more as a scientist. That was a major problem with me in all the Spiderman films (which I didn't like very much btw). Spiderman saves the day not with his fists but with his brain. I really didn't see that happen in any of the movies. But, moving... I don't want to talk about the Spiderman movies in this thread.

I think that Christian Bale is a great choice for Batman.
But for the original Batman movie with Michael Keaton I thought that Alec Baldwin would have been better. He looks like Bruce Wayne, he has that cool dark voice, he did a good job as the shadow (except the movie sucked)

No I thouhgt Downey Jnr was perfect, I wouldn't necessarily re-cast him,

I am just saying I think he would have made a good one

Brandon Routh is only good because he is a clone of Reeves😂
his acting is wooden.

when I think of Superman, I think of the comic, not Chris Reeves,

you have to admit that Reeves wasn't a traditional Superman, What I mean by that is that he didn't have the granite jaw and he wasn't built enough,

Rob Lowe would be perfect.

Robe Lowe as Superman? That is almost as bad as Dean Cain

Even though i think Maguire makes a horrible Parker/Spiderman, i think the fault lies with Raimi and the screen writer. Parker is whining through out the entire movie. Even as Spiderman it is hard to not see Peter Parker as a monumental loser. This was slightly toned down in the sequel, but it didn't help that the second movie was essentially the same movie as the first. I think the first two movie's are good movie's, but Peter Parker and Spiderman feel as though they were wrongfully represented.

The same problem happened with Routh as Superman. Routh did a fine job, but other than being tall and resembling Reeves, he had no other purpose in the movie. When he wasn't on set filming the necessary face shots, he was reciting lines from the previous superman movies. Singer played it to safe in keeping the story small and giving Routh little screen time. If he wasn't confident in Rouths ability, why the fuk did he cast him? It would have been nice to actually see Superman in that movie. With that said, i think routh did a fine job, especially as a younger Clark Kent.

When I say Rob Lowe, I only mean looks wise, his blue eyes and strong jaw are closer to supes than any other actor in hollywood imo,

to be honest I don't think I have ever seen him in anything other than the new Orange Commercial 😂

RR,who would you cast as Parker?

just curious😛

I would have cast Jake Gyllenhaal as Spider-Man.

I would have cast Jim Caviezel as Cyclops.

I would have cast Eric Christian Olsen as Johnny Storm.

I would have cast Sarah Michelle Gellar as Sue Storm.

There are others, but I can't think fo them right now.

Jake Gyllenhaal - I disagree (why do people like him?)
Jim Caviezel - Good choice (But only if Cyclops' personality was more the comic)
Eric Christian Olsen - Good choice also
Sarah Michelle Gellar - Great choice (makes more sense than Jessica Alba)

- Seann William Scott (Stifler) should have been Venom!
- Topher Grace (That 70's Show) shoulde have been Peter Parker!
- Bryce Dallas Howard (The girl who played Gwen in Spiderman 3) should have been Mary Jane! She's a natural redhead and way prettier than Kirsten (I got bad teeth!) Dunst.

I stick with what I said about Tobey Mcguire as PP in Spiderman 1 &2, as in the comic book Pete was an awkward nerd before gaining his power. I have to admit his potrayal in SM3, crying every 5 minutes, got on my nerves

For the horrible movie Steel (remember that travesty?!) it should have been an actor not a basketball player

I'd cast someone else as Daredevil instead of Ben Affleck.

I dont like the choice of Sarah Michelle Geller as Sue Storm.She is the OLDER sister of Johnny and she's pretty young. That being said,someone-dont know who yet,younger for Johnny Storm and someone older for Sue Storm.Maybe Erika Elenik I think its spelled for Sue Storm.
the others?
Howie Long as Eddie Brock.
Sarah Michelle Geller as Gwen Stacy
David Lasher as Peter Parker
yeah Bryce Howard as Mary Jane
Yeah Bale was a great choice for Bruce wayne but I agree as well that
Alec Baldwin should have played the role back then.keaton was horribly miscast in that role
Scott Weinger for Robin-O'donnel was way tool old for the role.

The only movie I'd recast is that crap known as Daredevil. I'd have had someone like Paul Wlker or someone like that portray Matt Murdock/DD.

All other movie comic books I'd leave just the way they are.

Johnny Storm

Also, though he's too old to play him now, a young John Cusak would've made for a good Parker/Spidey.

Definitely closer to the comic look, but I really liked how Chris Evans played him.

yeah I loved the cocky attidude Chris brought to the character as well.

I think it was back in the 80s Stan Lee actually said he would have liked John Cusack to play Peter Parker.
