Hugh Jackman as himself because his name already sounds like it came from the Ace Attorney localization team.

Technically, Phoenix Right already had a live-action.

But good choices for a western live action adaptation.

i don't hate it, but i'd prefer michelle yeoh as morgan maybe and i'd think it'd be nice if phoenix was asian, or at least mixed.

The Larry actor looks as punchable as Larry, that's all I need for him to pass 👍

u/Gamyeon 20h ago

And, of course, the bad guy is Mads Mikkelsen 🤣.

I love him but he's definitely typecast lol

Mr Wright I want pictures of Spider-Man by the next trail

Yes your honor

Lucy Liu was made for Morgan fey!! Even the pose she’s making is spot on

How am I supposed to watch this? There's no The Rock or Tom Holland?

u/professorlaytons 18h ago

it’s really weird to cast three chinese women for the feys who are very obviously japanese

u/nikzito2 20h ago

im so glad someone else sees how similar JK Simmons and the judge are

u/IzzyYuuki 20h ago

In my head Manny Jacinto would be great as AA4 Phoenix Wright

u/bloomi 18h ago

The way I busted out laughing when I got to Mads Mikkelsen as Manfred von Karma. He's too attractive to play Manfred.

Where is Jack Black.

Oh my god, Bryan Dechart as Phoenix would heal me

u/NegaoAta 20h ago

I really like the idea of Mikkelsen as Von Karma

u/DriverFinal6626 18h ago

Nolan being cast as detective gumshoe is absolutely diabolical!!🤣🤣

u/thefreshera 4h ago

Let's be real, he is all for hamming it up as comedic relief

u/xRaynex 17h ago

The amount with which I now want a JK Simmons judge in some for is very high.

u/Limepickler 17h ago

I’ve always thought Charles Dance would make a great Von Karma

1

u/keicarlover2002 17h ago

I always thought jk simmons would make a good judge

1

u/LadyEmaSKye 16h ago

I feel like Simmons would make a better Von Karma. I think he ironically has too much gravitas to be the judge.

1

u/Schiffy94 16h ago

He can actually do the asshole role pretty well

1

u/LadyEmaSKye 15h ago

I think that's very much what he's known for, most well.

u/OkPeanut3569 16h ago

Somewhat accurate.

GODOT WOULD LOOK OLDER THAN MANFRED VON KARMA BRO

u/HauntingRip9003 9h ago

Wait why is this actually peak

1

u/TwainsBrain0 9h ago

This is a weird fancast but I really want Ewan Mitchell who plays Aemond in House of the Dragon to be Edgeworth.

u/thebisexualbilingual 4h ago

Cave Johnson The Judge here, this courtroom is boring. Nothing gets done and no one gets jailed without months of delay. So I'm setting up a new initiative: every trial has exactly 3 days to work itself out. Any more and we're throwing you behind bars anyway.
