Casting Questions for the 'Justice League'

Justice-League

With news this week that Christian Bale officially won’t be in any future Justice League movie, whether based on the script David Goyer’s currently at work on or not, there’s a bit of a vacuum to the roster. It’s possible, we suppose, that Ryan Reynolds could return as Hal Jordan, but after the disaster that was the Green Lantern movie, DC and Warner Bros. seems pretty intent on leaving that story and continuity behind.

And it begs the question: Outside of Henry Cavill’s Superman, who rounds out the Justice League ensemble? We’re certainly not the first to ask the question, but the 4th of July weekend seems a particularly apt time to talk about casting possibilities for the Justice League of America. Our staff’s come up with a few options, some rote, some a little out there. Perhaps keying off the comedy of errors that has been the various attempts to get a Justice League film up and going (in contrast to Marvel’s wildly successful Phase 1), one of our staff even cast the whole thing as a comedy. (For the record, Desetoiles’s lineup went like this: Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell as Batman, Kristen Wiig as Wonder Woman, Kevin Hart as Flash, Kevin James as Green Lantern, Melissa McCarthy as the Martian Manhunter, Rachel Dratch as Aquaman, Mike Tyson as Hawkman, Charlie Sheen as Green Arrow, and Ashton Kutcher as Cyborg. That would be some movie indeed.)
