The Actor/Superhero game

[Temis the Vorta]

Okay here's the game. Name an actor and then state the one and only superhero role that is perfect (or at least tolerable) for him/her.

For instance:

Matthew Fox - Black Bolt

You can name an actor and give your own answer or challenge others to answer. There's no structure here - if people want to skip an actor, and suggest another, go ahead. I'm not big on Rules.

Silent but deadly?

 

[Joel_Kirk]

Charisma Carpenter-Wonder Woman

 

[sojourner]

Red Skelton - Red Skeleton.

 

[Aragorn]

Josh Holloway -- Green Arrow (assuming Gambit is off limits due to Taylor Kitsch)

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

Neil Peart - Lex Luthor

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

I was totally thinking about making a thread like this but since you beat me to it.

Patrick Warburton - Captain Marvel/Shazaam

btw Black Bolt kind of looks like Racer X, did that help with your casting choice?

 

[RookieBatman]

Neal McDonough - Captain America (if it was gonna be an older, veteran Cap, post thaw)

 

[ToddKent]

Ryan Reynolds - The Flash (Wally West version)

Green whatnow?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Alfred Molina- Lex Luthor (Later Golden Age/Man of Steel version) Saw him on the Late Late Show last night. With his head shaved he looked a lot like that version of Luthor.

I had him pegged for Black Bolt even before then. I think it's the self-pitying emo aspect of the character.

Continuing with The Inhumans theme...

Angelina Jolie - Medusa

Amanda Seyfrield - Crystal

 

[Captaindemotion]

Daniel Benzali (Murder One) - Lex Luthor

Keith Hamilton Cobb - Cable (X-Men)

 

[RookieBatman]

Daniel Benzali (Murder One) - Lex Luthor

I actually think he would've made a fantastic Kingpin (it's easy to picture with all the double-breasted suits he wears in Murder One).

Kate Mara - Black Widow, Jean Gray, or really any other redheaded heroine (will they ever be played by actual redheads? )

 

[Temis the Vorta]

January Jones = Sue Storm

 

[Nerys Myk]

January Jones = Sue Storm

Good call!

 

[Temis the Vorta]

How bout

Christina Hendricks = Jean Grey
Elizabeth Moss = Batgirl
Beyonce = Storm
Katie Sackhoff = Valkyrie
James Caviezel = Warlock

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

I thought you were going with a Mad Men theme there at first. I still think Angella Bassett or Rutina Westley would be better suited for Storm, depending on the age Storm is I guess.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

I'm still trying to figure out who Jon Hamm should play. Doctor Strange? Mr. Fantastic? Dye his hair blond for Captain America?

Keanu Reeves = Namor (tho he's getting a bit too old...)
Mia Kirschner = Scarlett Witch
Ian Somerhalder = Quicksilver

 

[Aragorn]

Storm in the 1990s would've been played by Iman.

 

[Silvercrest]

That's better than the 1980s, when she would have been played by Grace Jones!
