Pop Cult India’s Justice League Cast
Aquaman
I beg all the readers to check out the New 52 rendition of Arthur Curry, play Injustice: Gods Among Us or watch Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox. Then you might realise why we need Aquaman in the first place.
Charlie Hunnam. Who? The guy in that Jaeger suit who was slamming Kaiju ass in Pacific Rim. Avid TV watchers might identify him with Sons of Anarchy and lit erotica fans might recall him as the guy who almost played Christian Grey (for the uninitiated, in some point in history Mr Grey probably turned on every woman who can read).
Hunnam is visually and physically compatible for the role. Though he won’t be able to shoulder a solo Aquaman venture, he can deliver well as a tie in for the JL movie.
Martian Manhunter
Aaaaah any bald guy would do…just kidding. J’onn J’onzz / John Jones is the most complicated character of the league after Batsy and Supes. A good actor should be chosen over a fresh face.
While most fantasy casting lists are going for coloured actors, our bet is on a Caucasian actor of Italian and Irish roots; Zachary Quinto.
He’s already renowned as the primary antagonist of Heroes, as Spock in the Star Trek reboot and as a recurring character in American Horror Story and 24. A very impressive CV if a nerd is hiring. Geeks will come flocking if he’s portraying the pyrophobic, shape-shifting, telepathic, not to mention extra-terrestrial superhero.
All he has to do is shave his head, do a few nude scenes and voila the Justice League is complete.
Honourable Mentions
A few JL members got left out in the casting. Most were those who don’t need to appear in JL movie, not in the first one at least. Yet here’s a quick cast list for some of these capes and crusaders.
Hawkgirl – Isla Fisher
Though her hubby, Sacha Baron Cohen as Hawkman would be tremendously weird.
Green Arrow – Josh Holloway
Of LOST fame. Even the guy from Arrow would do.
Cyborg – Michael B. Jordan
This kid acted in last year’s sleeper hit Chronicle and is the top choice to play The Human Torch in the Fantastic Four reboot.
In all probability we didn’t get a single one right. Plus Warner Brothers believes in surprises. Let’s keep our fingers crossed (and your toes too if you don’t want Nicolas Cage in the film).
