Man, JK Simmons and Dafoe? Get Alfed Molina to play Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin this instant and we'll just have one big Raimi Spider-Man reunion.

Because you know it's not like they had Michael Shannon, Amy Adams, and Laurence Fishbourne in Man of Steel or anything.

Or Diane Lane, or Kevin Kostner, or Russel Crowe...

Sometimes I forget just how stacked MOS' supporting cast was with great talent.
 
Tobey Maguire will probably be approached next.

On switching companies, Taika Waititi went from the friend role in Green Lantern to directing Thor 3.

Or Diane Lane, or Kevin Kostner, or Russel Crowe...

In that instance it's overcompensating for a relatively unknown lead. Thor and Cap TFA had decently strong supporting casts as well.
 
14 years after, I still remember his green goblin. Let's hope they write another memorable role for him.
 
Interesting. Wonder what he'll play.

It does seem odd that two Raimi Spiderman actors happen to suddenly be in these DCCU movies now, lol. Coincidence, I'm sure, but just kind of funny.

DC is desperate. Getting these two popular people characters from marvel to appear in their movies.
 
Is this for real?

Yeah he was a real dick about it.

In response to being asked about the hero, Goyer asked, “How many people in the audience have heard of Martian Manhunter?” After hearing some light applause and cheers, he added, “How many people that raised their hands have ever been laid?”

It's in the same panel where he says his theory is that She Hulk was created by men because they wanted to have a smart chick the Hulk could fuck or something.
 
From the THR article:



Funny how there was no official press release from WB about principal photography commencing for Justice League.

I was under the impression that it hadn't actually started principal photography

Mostly pre-production stuff

TBH, this feels exactly like the type wrongheadedness that permeates WB in their approach to the DCEU. Watching Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, it just feels like the people behind these movies lack a genuine enthusiasm about the source material they are adapting.
 
Dafoe's gonna play the first Joker, who raped & tortured Batman's young sidekicks Barbra Gordon & Dick Grayson. Batman, upon discovering this, beats Joker within an inch of his life, yet tries to spare him to let the proper authorities deal with him, only for the Joker to finish the job himself, framing Batman for his death and driving The Dark Knight back into the shadows. Dick and Barb end up going insane from their experience, becoming the Joker and Harley Quinn we see in Suicide Squad.

That Snydery enough for you all?

DC Comics = TNA

Hey, we can say a lot of bad shit about DC, but at least they aren't about to be bought by literal Nazis...
 
DC Comics = TNA

Is DC about to be bought/potentially run by neo-Nazis?

So one quote by one writer is somehow indicative of the way other writers/directors are doing their movies?
 
Seeing as no one said it yet maybe he's Lobo, Snyder does like to change the stories a bit, i could see Snyder borrowing from this.


Lobo eventually returns to Earth in the Justice League episode "Hereafter", with Brad Garrett reprising his role. Believing that Superman has died, Lobo wants to join the Justice League, insisting that only he could take Superman's place. The League reluctantly allowed Lobo to help them for a short time while they deal with a large number of supervillains running amok in Metropolis. Lobo manages to trap Kalibak under a pile of cars. In the end, Superman returns to the present where he prevents Deadshot from assassinating Batman.
 
I don't think he's playing anyone. It will be like the Scoot McNairy and Holly Hunter castings. McNairy was just a dude who lost his legs and Hunter was just a Senator.
 
Goyer isn't writing JL, let alone have an EP credit. I don't even think he had much influence on BvS.

I'd fancast Tobey Maguire as
Snapper Carr
.

But he'd seriously make a good Jimmy. I don't think that's off the cards either, if they didn't bother to namedrop him in the movie it's not canon.
