Ah right. I do recall I never had any of mine get done.

That's why I asked if there was any interest because I am only one man! I can only do so much (and I only know so many actors and actresses).

Well, I personally would be interested. I could be tempted to do some myself lol

I know less than you... so what good am I?

Google is a fantastic thing.

You can at least try! :D

Indeed

I'd be interested. However, I do need sleep. So guten nacht!

The only Actresses I know are in the Adult industry.. So I can't help. I guess I could base my choices upon who better fits your descriptions.

That is not something you want to admit... *facepalm*

But it's true. I can't remember half of the actors and actresses on the big screen. Except the big ones like Harrison Ford, I can't even remember who played Princess Leia?

That's why we have Google.

Well actually since I mentioned it, why not. For the record, I know some of these have people cast for them already, this is just my list, who I would have picked. Also I didn't do all the characters each person had nor characters from all people. I just did some that came to mind.

Raptor's Characters:
Nightmare- Played by Bill Nighy

The Good Doctor- Played by Julian Richings

Aurelia- Played by Jaime Murray (She's been known to play roles involving altered skin and hair color as well as non-standard outlooks and done them extremely well so would be my first choice there.)

The Cancer- Played by Clint Eastwood (If he ever gets a sheet you will know why.)


Neutral Nexus' Characters:
The Cowl- Played by Eric Roberts (This guy plays a classy but corrupt blackmail style criminal villain like he was born for the role.)

War Pulse- Played by Tom Cruise (Badass character, badass actor. Enough said.)

Umbraxis- Played by, sorry have no idea here.

Nightmareshape's Characters:
Forsaken- Played by Benedict Cumberbatch (Came to mind almost immediately. Was brought to mind by his job in the Star Trek film.)

Icon- Honestly, you picked a pretty good one yourself don't really have one for this who I thought was necessarily better.

Dedonus' Characters:
The Iron Knight- Played by William Fitchner


Athinar's Characters:
Equilibrium- Played by DJ Qualls (The perfect mixture of awkwardness and determination in most of his roles.)


Kalistar's Characters:
Radiance- Played by Kristen Bell (This may or may not be due to her role as El from heroes but electrical powers seem to go very well with her.)

@Athinar to answer your comment about Chinatown and Little Sicily being the seedy places a few pages, you'd be correct. But this is The Cowl we're talking about, the Shroud's got their greasy little fingers all over town, illegitimate business is a city-wide thing, from Little Paris to Sherman Square.

Speaking of which, there's a Cowl post and Umbraxis post coming.

What did you think of my castings for you? I'm curious what those who I did some for thought of my picks.

I like them, they definitely have a good reason for the picks even if they weren't what I had in mind. Tom Cruise has shown us time and time again that he can be a very physical and impressive actor, so putting him in the shoes of the merc is a pretty good choice. Eric Roberts has that smooth, classy feel of The Cowl, definitely another well thought out choice.

I don't have a good choice for the eternal void, either. I'd actually be curious if we could find a person that everyone collectively agrees to play Umbraxis.

@Raptorman: I am assuming you mean a "young" William Fichtner, because from my quick google search, he seems to be turning 60 soon. I personally did not have a pick myself, so beggers cannot be choosers.

So I guess in the next day or so I have to figure out a cast for one (or more, if I get that far) of your characters...

Yeah, a young William Fitchner. Dang he's getting old, I didn't realize he was that high up there.

The problem is that Umbraxis isn't base human or base humanoid like most of the characters are. I'd nominate the guy who did Sauron's voice to be the voice of Umbraxis. The original guy who did Sauron's voice in Lotr not the hobbit. So Alan Howard. But that's just for a voice.

Also, might as well throw my now edited casting picks up. I hope @Tearstone likes my pick.

---

For these first few, some of you made it extremely easy because you provided an image of an actor or an actress.

Superhero Alias (Real Name): Actor/Actress (films/tv shows that actor/actress were in)
comments: Self-explanatory


Icon (Scot Hunter): Henry Cavill (Man of Steel, The Tudors)
comments: He would be a good...wait a minute, he's already Superman! But, Henry, you will not have to worry about competing with the Batman here!


Lyger (Kyle Porter): Steven R. McQueen (The Vampire Diaries, Chicago Fire)
comments: According to Google Images, the image provided is Steven R. McQueen. I also replaced the image from last time because NMS thought my last picture made Lyger look wimpy.


Radiance (Alexa Winstone): Ashley Greene (Twilight)
comments: According to Google Images, Ashley Green is the woman in the portrait provided in Calistar's character sheet.


Racheli Lorna Desdemona: Nora Zehetner (Heroes)
comments: With her relatively short performance in Heroes, I would say that Nora could play Rach.


Justine Shepherd: Shailene Woodley
comments: While her eye color does not match the picture that Tearstone provided in his character sheet, but I think her face does patch that image (minus the eye color).


War-Pulse: Sebastian Stan (Captain America movies)
comments: Compare the below image with War-Pulse's appearance in his character sheet and tell me how would this not be the perfect fit?


Raptor (Zac Wilson): [unsure]
comments: It is kind of sad that I know whom I want for his two supporting characters, but I don't have an actor in mind for the main character! Any suggestions would be nice.


Robert Wilson (Zac's Father): Sam Elliot, 10-20 years ago (Prancer, Hulk)
comments: Weird that I cannot pick an actor for Zac, but I can for his dad...


Wasp (Kelly Brown): Milana Vayntrub (AT&T Commercials)
comments: I don't know if she could act in an action movie, but in my mind, she looks the part of Kelly. Also, they would have to omit the part about Kelly growing over six feet tall, but that can be easily over looked. :D Finally, if Emma Stone can play a high schooler, I'm sure Milana can pass for a college sophomore.


Bast (Sammy Kadowsky): Hayley McFarland (Criminal Minds)
comments: This is what happens when you look at the Criminal Minds wikipedia page for each of their seasons. She kind of looks young in this picture, but I assure you that she is 24 (born in 1991). Funny how the story arc that gave Sammy her "powers" was inspired by Criminal Minds, too. :D


Arachne (Aubrey Adkins): AJ Michalka / Karen Gillan
comments: Last, but not least (obviously, because I have four actresses here ). Arachne would be, well, interesting to put on the silver screen since she is not entirely a humanoid, unlike most of the characters in this roleplay. Therefore (unless this "movie" is taking place in the IC) Arachne would probably have to be done via CGI, much like the Hulk in the Avengers. They would probably CGI the action scenes but use green-screen magic to get some close-ups.

The white elephant in the room for this character is that Arachne has the most common super power among super-heroines and the two actresses above would not be able to fill in her "shoes". One way film-makers could get around this is to cast two actresses for the part and do something similar to what Marvel did in the 1st Captain America movie: first, they would cast someone who could fill in Arachne's "shoes" better (I am not confirming or denying whether I actually have a "body double" in mind ). Then, they would shoot scenes with both actresses and in post-production, they would digitally graft the head of one of the above actresses onto the "body double". This would be complicated, but could work.

Now for the two actresses. AJ Michalka. Yes, the girl from the Goldbergs. Previously, I had her at the number #2 slot because I don't know if she can do an action movie. However, I cannot overlook the fact that she has the look that I imagine Aubrey having (Blonde, dark eyebrows, "roundish" facial structure, light eyes). Every time I watch the Goldbergs and when she is on the episode, I always tell myself, "this is the pick". Furthermore, since Arachne probably would use some heavy CGI, any action sequences might not need much work on her part.

Karen Gillan, who has been in both Doctor Who (I think) and Guardians of the Galaxy, is good enough of an actress for a super-heroine role. Yes, yes, I know that Aubrey is blonde and Karen is a red-head, but if they can make Emma Stone Gwen Stacy, I'm sure Karen could change her hair blonde for the "movie" (wow, this is the second time I mentioned Emma Stone AND Gwen Stacy, which is ironic because Spider-Gwen is another blonde-haired spider-themed super-heroine). Also, she would have to fake an American accent.

Last thing. If this movie was being made in the IC, they could have Aubrey herself be the "body double" that I mentioned a few paragraphs ago. Plus, that would save the film company money on CGI. Athena of course would probably disguise Aubrey's face so that no one would actually know she is Arachne.

Thunderbolt - Shia Labeouf

Not because he's that great of an actor, but because he's hilarious and has a surprising range when he's performing. That, he has a ton of experience dealing with CGI, which would be vital for any CAH film.

Boom - Kate Beckinsale

She's a great actor who knows how to do action very well. Her role in the Underworld movies would serve her well when it comes to playing a speedster.

Polemos - Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

He was born for the role. I had Polemos pegged for someone else, but after discovering Adewale? I'd never go back.
