Mass Effect Movie

As this project seems to be in development, I thought I'd give my casting preferences

Commander Shepard: Christian Bale, Michael Fassbender or Matthew Fox

Ashley Williams: Jaime Alexander

Jeff Moreau "Joker": Seth Green

Kaiden Alenko: Oscar Isaac

Miranda Lawson: Yvonne Strahovsky

Jacob Taylor: Anthony Mackie or Idris Elba

Jack: Rooney Mara

Illusive Man: Martin Sheen

Udina: Jeremy Irons

Admiral Anderson: Denzel Washington

Admiral Hackett: Sam Elliot

Legion: Alan Tudyk

EDI: Tricia Helfer (actual voice actor for EDI)

Dr. Chakwas: Jodie Foster

Kelley Chambers: Katee Sackoff

James Vega: Cauã Reymond (Brazillian actor)

Specialist Traynor: Rashida Jones

I didn't try to cast the aliens. I'll post pictures later

Why can't Keith David be Anderson?

And where's Garrus?

You're right, Keith David would actually work. Denzel is still better though.

I didn't try casting the aliens. For Garrus, Grunt, Rex, Tali Zorah etc... I have no idea

Why does Shepard automatically have to be a dude? No suggestions for a femshep?

Emilia Clarke (GoT) or Emily Blunt maybe. After playing the trilogy with male Shepard, seeing him female is just awkward.

But the thing is that Shepard doesn't have a canon gender. Casting him at all is going to upset a few fans regardless. So it's best to have variety in casting options.

That's true, but I think the majority of fans would be satisfied with a male Shepard. Male is default Shepard anyways, and the movies can establish Canon.

Bale doesn't have the charisma, Fassbender is too... Fassbendery. I don't know anything about Fox.

Establishing canon is the worst thing the movies could do.

Why?

Universal may have announced the release date for a Mass Effect movie

I feel like I know this movie will suck

Not with the right people behind it.

I disagree because they had mark walburg in max Payne still sucked same thing with doom

I have reach: I should play Garrus.

I nominate Charlize Theron for a female Shepard

If they go with a female lead, they'll probably cast Michelle Rodriguez just to spite me

Seth Green should be Joker.
