If he is Van Alden, it will be a perfect straight man to Deadpool.

this is the thread where people choose some chubby tv actor over a literal god

Which is why they are on a forum fan casting instead of really casting.

well...Ryan Reynolds is both Green Lantern and Deadpool
Chris Evans is both Human Torch and Captain America..
J.K. Simmons is both J.Jonah Jameson and Commissioner Gordon..
so anything goes.
This is where a few years from now people mistook critism that actors don't look like characters as criticsm about acting abilities or movie quality, and quote the posts in some crow thread like X-Men's Quicksilver, isn't it.

Aw shit, I'm not really a fan of Michael Shannon.
A tad late to play this card when they already have Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Jeff Bridges, Anthony Hopkins, Tilda Swinton, Cate Blanchett (soon), and so on.

Tilda and Cate
Plus I'm gonna go sacrilege and say Michael Shannon is a better actor than all of them imo except for perhaps Blanchett
They're all awesome tho. And Shannon was already in man of Steel too so lol.

Are Oscar winners Heath Ledger and Natalie Portman good enough for you?
Better than Ian McKellen and the incomparable Tilda Swinton? What in the blazes?

Guess which Best Picture winner I'm describing:
Sabertooth is the editor-in-chief of a paper managed by Howard Stark, employing Batman as the head of an investigative journalism squad whose star reporter, The Incredible Hulk, helped by lawyers on both sides of an explosive child abuse case (including Drs Manhattan and Erskine) manages to dig up the truth, bringing closure to the lives of many.
Here's a hint: The year prior, one of the Best Picture nominees starred Batman as a cheap hustler who, with his girlfriend Lois Lane, gets caught by Rocket Racoon trying to pull some shady shit, and to get out of it, are forced to entrap Hawkeye for his own share of shady shit, but the deal is almost blown up in three different ways because Batman's wife, Mystique, is a nail-polish huffing moron who complicates everything she touches.

Have you seen Take Shelter? Better performance than anything I've seen the other two in. As much as I love Ian in particular.
Dude was amazing in Bug too.
Man smh at spotlight beating fury road for best picture. 2017 is the first time I've had no qualms with a best picture winner in a few years
Overactor. He can outmatch Emma Watson in her eyebrow game.

We had a whole thread of playing this game. No need to shine a spotlight on it.

Seriously dude, as an American, hustle out of this thread.
personally, I'd put more effort to see a movie with Michael Shannon in it then I would either McKellen or Swinton. I love Swinton too.

I love Michael Shannon.
And Man of Steel.
First time I heard about Brosnan for Cable. I don't know too much about the Comic character, but Reynolds playing of a former James Bond playing the straight man would be awesome. It would provide enough meta gags too....
Having Michael Shannon could work amazingly well too, with him being a former DC actor and he proved time and time again that he can play comical serious.
What about Jon Hamm btw?

Hold on when was this annouced?
I always assummed domino was albino, or had hyper white skin due to mutations.
They gonna powder the chick white?
Or gonna invert the colors.
P.S Dont think ive ever seen an albino in a big role in a major hollywood picture...a part of me was really hoping Domino would actually be albino...it would settle the comic debate somewhat.

Some "leaked" concept art. No clue if it's fake or not. Has the correct working title at least.
