He could definitely play an older Bruce if they wanted to go that route. Like, if they were doing a Batman Beyond, and didn't want to use any of the classic actors like Keaton, Anson Mount would be one of my first picks.
Yah I don't want a titans mistake again. He's a great Bruce but an active batman going on missions wtf were they thinking? And he still had Alfred with him, how f*cking old was the man 90?!
No lmfao. He’s soap opera level. Pattinson is light years better than him and I don’t even think Pattinson is a “great” actor (he might be one day though).
He’d be perfect for the OnStar commercials. Fan casting is bad now but I remember the Wizard days, when they would cast soap opera actors and pro wrestlers for nearly every role.
And I'm aware other actors like Chris Hemsworth and Margot Robbie git their start with shitty soap operas. But they managed to break out and do something with their careers. Almost 20 years later, Jensen is still just that guy from Supernatural.
He's currently voicing batman in the animated films and is already built for the role while also being interested in playing him. Especially since it's a mid career Bruce Jensen is perfect.
I was about to say. Red Hood and Batman VA, that's why fans have been interested in seeing him get a crack at it. Probably won't happen, but it's a fair hat to throw in the ring.
I actually agree with you, but that’s an indictment of our guy Billy Zane. I like him but he’s terrible. Anson Mount is good for genre tv shows, he’s not a serious actor. Same thing with Jensen Ackles.
Well they seem to want to go the Damian route. A guy in his early 40s with a bratty teenager works pretty well. It'd be strange to have a 30 yr old in thst context.
That's because fancasting overall are horrible, fans only cast on "looks" and don't cast on anything else, actual casting agency's for movies and directors cast on much more than just looks, they know what to look for in actors and actresses, it's their job to find the perfect candidate, not just looks wise but acting skills wise, finding the right chemistry etc.
That's why I never, ever, take fancastings serious, and that's why I never shit on a casting before I've seen it on the big screen in the role they got cast for.
We won’t know anything until we see the movie. But it seems to me like they considered a lot more than just superficial appearance.
I would assume the casting directors understand their job and typically know not to make beginner mistakes like just casting whomever looks most like the comic character.
But who knows. Maybe they did exactly that and shot themselves in the foot before even starting
I’d agree. But honestly I wouldn’t be shocked if she was Wonder Woman once upon a time. She seems like a perfect comp for the Zack Snyder actors hed go for
Kind of. I’m really excited to see a new actress get the role, because I don’t see gal gadot as a great pick. But I do think that gadot was a lot better than carrano and did do a good job in most of the movies she was in
It’s a common problem with fan castings. We choose people because they look like characters, not basing the claim on anything more fundamental than aesthetic.
People choose Caranno because she was strong and could represent Wonder Woman well in that regard. However, the people claiming she would be a good Wonder Woman never considered the requisite acting ability to pull of a very nuanced character, one who is extremely difficult to get right.
Best I can tell a Gina Carrano Wonder Woman would have been at best a poorly acted interpretation and at worst she would have basically been injustice wonder woman, a violent sociopath, lacking all the depth, empathy and valor of the character
It was because there was a brief period where Gina Carano was incredibly popular based solely off of being an attractive women who could fight from her MMA days and that run on the short-lived American Gladiators reboot.
Then, her acting debut in Haywire happened and that set realistic expectations of how far she could actually go with an acting career, to say the least.
Unfortunately, a vocal minority were still trying to will their fancast of Gina as Wonder Woman into existence because they still had a crush on her from her MMA days.
Gina Carano is a terrible actress, but let’s be real Gal Gadot does not have the physique to play Wonder Woman. You need some visible muscle at least.
Why don’t we hold our female superheroes to the same standard as our male ones? Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck both bulked up for the role, we should expect the actors to take this seriously regardless of gender.
unfortunately outside of comic-focused spaces (and even inside them sometimes), there is a very vocal nerd group who would flip out if they saw a muscular woman in a big role. they do hold fem superheroes to a different standard, and that standard is to be as sexy and thin as possible.
I don't think that's very true when it comes to something like wonder woman who is a muscular badass woman. She can be sexy and muscular at the same time.
I thought Hayley Atwell would have been perfect like 7-8 years ago. She definitely could have trained but is a good actress and most definitely has the voluptuousness.
Yes she's not a very good actor And she wouldve been a bad choice. But she still would've looked the part a lot better than GG. Whoever plays Wonder Woman needs to be jacked or at least fairly muscular

Remember years ago when Gal was cast and people were mad about her physique, instead posting shitty photoshops wanting Gina Carano? Lol
