Valiant Universe Casting!

Post by Uncle Yusuf »

Hey, people! I recently heard that Hollywood is making a film version of Shadowman. If it were up to you guys and gals, who would you cast in the roles of the Valiant Universe characters? I'm dying to hear what all of you think. So please, discuss.

As I've already said, Mark Strong IS Master Darque.

Shadowman would be a bit more difficult to cast. I'd be more interested in it following Josiah Boniface than Jack though to be honest. My pick would be Chiwetel Ejiofor in that case.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Rue McClanahan would have made an amazing XO Manowar.

After Green Lantern i'd prefer to not see any Ryan Reynolds for a while, or maybe never again.

Ellen Page is great but getting close to too old to play Kris

Who would play Eric/quantum?

Hey, Michael! Yeah, I absolutely agree with you regarding Ken Watanabe playing Toyo Harada. I think Watanabe is a great, soulful actor. I loved him in The Last Samurai. What did you think of the rest of the cast I chose?

I love your list, but that would be a VERY expensive cast! Great picks for fantasy casting though.

I think Jamie Foxx as Eric/Quantum is an even better choice than Marlon Wayons! I have no idea who Aaron Paul is though. What has he been in? What about Owen Wilson as Woody?
