Hypothetical Casting: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

* ''Wizard Magazine'' had a regular column about what actors should play what roles in comic book movies.

* In-universe example: At one point in ''[[The Ultimates]]''. they sit around while being transported via cargo plane talking about who would play them in the movie of their lives. Naturally, [[Nick Fury]] says [[Samuel L. Jackson]] (on whom Ultimate Nick Fury was based).

* During the late 1980s, ''[[X-Men]]'' writer/creator [[Chris Claremont]] was a regular on [[Compuserve]]'s Comic Books Special Interest Group (CIS's version of a discussion board). At one point he posted his "dream cast" for an ''X-Men'' movie, which included such notables as [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Bob Hoskins]] as Wolverine and Diane Lane as Kitty Pryde.

** Before the third film, Ralph Fiennes was a popular fan casting choice for Lupin. Ironically, Ralph Fiennes went on to play Lord Voldemort, which is about as far away from mild-mannered Professor Lupin as you can get. There are still plenty fans who think Ralph Fiennes would have been a better Lupin than David Thewlis.

** In a 2006 [[Fan Vid]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3L8an9LUCE about Barty Crouch, Jr.], Bellatrix Lestrange was represented by footage of [[Helena Bonham Carter]] from ''[[Merlin (TV miniseries)|Merlin]]''. She would go on to play Bellatrix in the [[Harry Potter (film)|actual films]].
