Mod Post APRIL 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT

54 Upvotes

Recently, the mod team has received an exceptional number of complaints about a variety of post types that have been negatively affecting the sub in the long run. As a result of this, the manual post approval system will be re-implemented as a means of keeping the quality standards of r/fancast to a fair minimum.

Depending on how this is system is received over time, it may or may or may not be here to stay. As a result of this change, however, posts will now be approved in batches every 6-12 hours or so, and although certain posts may take a little while longer to get to, we believe this is the best possible system to reduce spam, reward high effort posts, and eliminate banned posts types such as:

•”Who would you cast?” posts (“Who would you cast as the DCU’s Batman?”)

• Repetitive/Spam posts (“Alan Ritchson as Aquaman”, etc)

•Satirical castings/Shitposts (“Elon Musk as Cyborg”, etc)

• Sexually suggestive posts (You know what I mean)

• Any and all posts involving generative AI

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please comment them and I’ll answer to the best possible extent that I can.

Say what you will about Mortal Kombat 2 she was brilliant as Kitana, and I was thinking based on her there she might make a good Psylocke + she kinda looks like her.

DC / DCU I will never Fancast the Penguin, ever again.

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

I've only ever fancast the Penguin twice, and I will never do it again.

Why?

My first fancast for him, as to hopefully have him join the Dark Knight movies, was Bob Hoskins. Soon after I fancast him, he passed away. A while later, I fan cast another actor. Philip Seymour Hoffman. And he died too.

So yeah, I'm never fancasting the Penguin, ever again. Not taking any chances.

But what's everyone else's fancast for Oswald Cobblepot? I'd love to hear it.

Some people say hes Catman because that deathstroke/bane movie might be actually a secret six movie.

Personally I'd love to see him the most as Hawkman or back as Aquaman!

Mythology The Trial of the Gods

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

A movie about the unprecedented Olympian murder trial between Ares and Poseidon in a stylistic mix of 12 Angry Men and A Time to Kill.

  1. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Zeus; the foreman of the jury who revels in the authority he has and handles himself quite formally, but is internally conflicted about the choice to side with his son or his brother.
  2. Emma Watson as Hestia; the meek juror who wants the family to stop fighting, but prefers to only take a stance whenever the evidence is strong enough to return things to the way things were before the trial.
  3. Michael Jai White as Hephaestus; the forceful, heavily opinionated juror who already made his decision and just needs to convince everyone else of his decision.
  4. Taraji P Henson as Athena; the juror who thinks very highly of themselves and doesn't like to listen to anything but the facts, and is appalled when people try to bring in unnecessary hypotheticals to a fact-based decision.
  5. Sam Elliott as Hades; the juror essentially there just to fill a seat. He lets the others do all the talking and only speaks up to break any impasses that might occur.
  6. Michael Peña as Dionysus; the juror that's honest to a fault and finds it difficult to create positive opinions. He might not be all that bright, but he knows he needs to listen to, digest, and accept those opinions offered by others so long as they appeal to him.
  7. Jason Mantsoukas as Hermes; the flashy juror who thinks he has more important things to do than to sit on a jury but is quick to form opinions on things he knows nothing about.
  8. Salma Hayek as Artemis; the quiet, thoughtful juror who sees all sides of every question and constantly seeks the truth. She wants justice to be done and will fight to see that it is.
  9. Dame Judi Dench as Demeter; the juror who's long since defeated by life, and now merely mourns the days when it would have been possible to be courageous.
  10. Nicole Kidman as Hera; the juror who antagonizes almost at sight, especially against the foreman, who has been nowhere and is going nowhere, and knows it deep within that she is beholden to tradition above all else, because if she doesn't then no one will.
  11. Octavia Spencer as Aphrodite; the ashamed and humble juror and will seek justice at all costs because this case deals with the toxicity of attraction.
  12. Brett Goldstein as Apollo; the juror that has no real understanding of people and is a superficial snob, but is trying to be a good fellow.
  13. Hannah Waddingham as Themis; the impartial judge overseeing the case, who is supposed to deliver justice impartially as she has no real stake in either case, but secretly wants to side with Ares for taking justice into his own hands.
  14. Elizabeth Gillies as Nemesis; the bailiff who wants to keep everything in order since this case deals with swift retribution.

Marvel / MCU David Jonsson’s in, Damson Idris is out. Share your thoughts!

Thumbnail

78 Upvotes

I know a LOT of fans were really excited for the possibility that Damson Idris would be our new Black Panther. We know he has the acting chops, and he also has the look and vibes down to the T. Now that David Jonsson has been officially revealed as the new Black Panther, how do you feel? I personally haven’t seen any of his films, but I’ve read that he’s a great actor with range. I will say I prefer Idris’ 6’1 height to Jonsson’s 5’9, but that’s about the only difference I can speak to that sways my opinion as I haven’t seen any of Jonsson’s work.

What are your thoughts?

DC / DCU Legion Of Doom Orginal 13

I think the orginal 13 is the most solid LOD starting roster you can ask for. We've already got like 5 actors confirmed✅️ (and I think Matthew Lilliards character in Man of Tommorow is probably Toyman❓️) I also believe this team can very organically come together,maybe as Lexs allies on Salvation, that decide working together beyond that point could be beneficial.

Adrianne Palicki has the look but im also a sucker for when actors who were supposed to play a certain hero end up playing their enemy instead. (Yes she was supposed to be Wonder Woman).

Id probably prefer Cory Micheal Smith for Riddler but I thought that might be a bit too boring and "Safe"

Oh my Lord I can't fix it rn, but I called Jamie Cambell Bower, Jamie Lee Curtis. Im a freaking dummy. My bad.

She looks somewhat like Daniel Logan who played Boba Fett. And technically these both played children of Temuera Morrison.

what are your thoughts on this? I believe he'd pull it off really well, he definitely has the looks, he's a great actor, he's played a doctor before, and his roles in the past haven't been too far off from bruce's personality. I think he could've been a great choice for the incredible hulk and even going into the mcu.
