Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Gal Gadot as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, respectively. These three are a given as they have already been cast! I think all three are good choices, especially Affleck. The trio is slated to each appear in the upcoming Batman v. Superman film. Yes, all three. Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and Diana Prince.
Lamorne Morris as Green Lantern. It doesn't seem like DC will want to go back to Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern so why not switch up the race of the character? Bring back the black Green Lantern! I believe his name is John Stewart? Anyway, I can see Lamorne Morris in this role with the same type of energy that Anthony Mackie brought to the second Captain America. With his character on New Girl, you can see clearly that Morris could play both energetic and silly-ish, but can also be serious. He could bring the same type of presence that Robert Downey Jr. does to Iron Man, despite Ben Affleck kind of assuming the "Downey role." You know, big name actor, lots of skepticism, ultimately an assured pay-off.
Josh Holloway as Aquaman. I don't know the actual person's name, but for some reason Orin sounds right. Holloway really looks the part and that plays big into his favor. Of course, there are so many other options, too. I wouldn't mind Matt Damon, who's been rumored, and Chris Pine wouldn't be too upsetting. Apparently, producers are big on Matthew McConaughey, but I don't know. I think Holloway is good. He obviously has the necessary skill set for a movie like this. He just has to grow his hair and beard back out and he should be fine. I don't need to do much defending for him.
Ryan Gosling as The Flash. I really hope they don't use the television version of Barry Allen for this movie, mainly because of a lot of reasons. The show has yet to premiere and I really don't even agree with that choice. Ryan Gosling would be an amazing choice. Gosling is just one of those guys who belongs in a DC movie and what better time to introduce him than for Justice League. He's obviously so dreamy and could play The Flash a bit sarcastic, but genuine. The only major question is obvious. Is he too much star power for a "minor" role in the film? At least, presumably, smaller than the roles Batman and Superman will have.
Matthew Broderick as Martian ManHunter. I'm not going to even pretend to know what Martian ManHunter's actual name is, but I still think Matthew Broderick would be an exceptional choice. Gosling is a name you hear and think, "Hey, he could be in a DC movie," but for some reason when I thought of Matthew Broderick, I desperately wanted him in the Justice League movie. It just seems like he belongs in it so much. He just seems so right for it. So Martian ManHunter is a logical choice. Hey, if Lex Luthor is going to be played by Jesse Eisenberg, then they can play Martian ManHunter a bit older.
Olivia Wilde as Jade. Why hasn't Olivia Wilde played a superhero yet? There are rumors, apparently, that the Justice League will have two female members in this film and the rumors continued to suggest Jade. Jade is kind of like the female version of Green Lantern and I really like Wilde in that role. Sure, she's a bit of a comedic actress lately, but she was on House! Some suggested Sandra Bullock or Sophia Bush or Mila Kunis and to them, I say, "Eh." Wilde is where it's at.
What do you think? Do you agree? Cast your own version below!
All good choices, I think.They definitely should go with the John Stewart version of Green Lantern. And Aquaman's name is Arthur Curry, although his Atlantean name was given as Orin. All the actors you picked are good, except Broderick. I was thinking of someone more like the guy who plays the Captain on Brooklyn 99.
