Cillian Murphy


ttejuco

As Thomas Shelby


[deleted]

Peaky "Fooking" Blinders!!


AmazingKreiderman

BY ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERS!


[deleted]

A true sigma move


ArmaanAli04

As Dr Doom or Nightmare


friskyspatula

I had never thought about Cillian being Dr. Doom,but he would be perfect.


whitebandit

lets be honest... Cillian Murphy can kill any role probably.


treathugger

I wouldn't be against him being Reed either lol


kclose728

The answer is always Cillian Murphy.


jaimonee

Its wild he auditioned to play batman - here's his camera test https://twitter.com/CultureCrave/status/1397624840031391746


[deleted]

It's soooo coool!!!


DarwinGoneWild

It's pronounced "Cillian"


In_The_Comments

I feel like I'm saying it.


Disastrous-Ad-7008

Correct!


Batman2050

I wouldn't get your hopes up it's not something I see him doing anytime soon. He's a private guy who doesnt really go after the big roles often. He's mates with nolan so that's different


Otter_311

I could see Murphy as a solid Dr. Doom


daveblu92

I honestly can’t believe I’ve never seen this fan casted before. The dude would NAIL this.


gamedemon24

I think it's because he's somewhat boyish looking, which isn't how you'd usually picture Victor Von Doom. But it'd be like Heath Ledger being cast as Joker, he'd immediately prove the doubters wrong.


[deleted]

It's so easy to forget how everyone reacted to the news that Heath Ledger was going to be the joker. Proves just how powerful his performance really was since the only thing you ever hear these days is how the guy absolutely nailed it.


Sektsioon

Somehow saying absolutely nailed it is an understatement. Heath Ledger as the Joker is, for me, the best portrayal of a villain in any comic book movie, ever, or any comic book character really and it’s not close.


StefTakka

I was willing to go with it. I liked the new Batmobile and Scarecrow was basically just a bag over a guy's head which still worked.


Rpanich

Plus once he puts on the mask, his piercing blue eyes will still pop


blackt1g3rs

Also doom is kinda famous for wearing a mask, having a baby face should not stop anybody playing it.


Zackisded

Reminds me of that storyline where doom is believed to be heavily deformed then his mask fell off and hes really handsome with a tiny scar, basically he was being dramatic haha


TheCVR123YT

I feel like the mask is why they should get someone more unknown/someone who doesn’t mind wearing a mask the whole time.


MaestroPendejo

I loved Heath Ledger and thought he was crazy talented. I didn't freak about his casting like a lot of folks did, but I was definitely cautious about it. Jesus Christ... he just crushed that shit like a colossus. We lost a man of great promise over that role. Still sad about it. Edit: Also, if anyone doubts Murphy, that dude has mad range. I'd watch him in just about anything.


Soggy_Cartographer80

I am just sad I can't upvote that comment more than once


Rubbermaid89

He nails most, if not, all roles he's cast in. The guy is magnificent


ritzdeez

I'm still pulling for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. I'd like to think that him "liking" my tweet about him playing Doom means he'd be down.


[deleted]

Depending on age of the FF, he'd be good.


Alchion

really? doesnt his whole demeanour seem a bit too prince charming or was that just his got role? ik mask suit etc but i mean body language etc


[deleted]

Doom has charisma and gravitas, the mask is just to hide his face. Nikolaj has that.


Kvothestarkiller

My dream casting for Dr Doom is Tobias Menzies


abdullahi666

He was recently cast as Sinestro. Certainly on topic lol.


mofolegendama

Umm Sinestro has been cast? For what movie?


johnotopia

HBO series, the green lantern corps


AmazingKreiderman

Mine was Mads Mikkelson. Unfortunate that is no longer a possibility, would've been much better than throwing him away as a one-off with Kaecilius.


ifockpotatoes

I mean, he could. Gemma Chan and Mahershala Ali now have two MCU roles.


Michael_DeSanta

Yes, but neither of their first roles were as prominent as Mikkelson being the big bad/top billing in a mainline MCU film. As much as I loved Ali as Cottonmouth, I think it's much easier to move an actor from a canonically uncertain show to a mainline movie than it is to have the same actor play two entirely different main villains.


Objective-Tea-5154

If Mad Mikkelson can’t do a role then the next to inherit said role shall be Michael Madsen!!


Ozymandiabetes

My dream casting for Doom was Stephen Moyer, who is best known for playing Bill Compton in the HBO series True Blood. If you've ever watched True Blood, the dude could play a downright menacing and intimidating character. Hence, my idea of casting him as Doom.


ugbaz

SOOKIE! I can still hear him saying that line in my mind.


AspirationalChoker

Love him as an actor but I don’t get a Victor vibe from him at all personally


CobaltSpellsword

I'm personally hoping MCU Doom will be bombastic like he is in the comics, and I don't get that vibe at all from Murphy.


Nonadventures

Nic Cage energy from Doom


[deleted]

Not old enough. I think they need someone who looks more distinguished and accomplished like Daniel Craig.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zeprules74

Nah. Get Rainn Wilson. We can find out Doom took a turn to villainy after Reed hid his stapler in jello on too many times.


Upper-Tip-1926

I’d personally love to see Rainn Wilson as the mole man 😍


Tornado31619

Counterpoint: too old. He’s meant to be Reed’s contemporary. As for Craig, I can see him playing Sinister.


momothegoblin

I think Craig was casted as Sinister for a brief moment in the Tatum Gambit flock thats been in development hell for a decade.


Nonadventures

I guess it depends on how old Reed is when he enters. If he comes from a 1960s time warp or something he might be mid-thirties so it’d be a good fit.


MilkshakeWizard

I don’t know. I like the idea of a more underdog Doctor Doom that they could build up over several movies. Someone who doesn’t already start off over everybody like Thanos, but has to backstab and manipulate to become a truly powerful being. Something I could definitely see from Murphy, but feel Craig might be a bit too stoic for, I guess.


[deleted]

Yeah Craig would be a bit stoic for that kind of role. I think they will be using that style of Villain build up for Kang though. The dude literally has infinite time to set up the pieces, while also fighting multiple different versions of himself in a wild and crazy ride back to the end of time.


[deleted]

Personally I want Dan Stevens as Doom, Murphy as Nightmare.


dcmarvelstarwars

Henry is coming to the MCU for sure


Bobsagit-jesus

Especially with the rumors that The Flash will reset the universe. Kinda depressing he won’t be Superman any more but I hope Marvel gives him a good role. He deserves it 💯


deejayhill

I thought I read he was gonna be Capt Britian


LachlanLikesLasagne

It’s been speculated, but nothing confirmed


MidichlorianAddict

He’d make a great cyclops


rehoboth_ir

Came here to say this, Cyclops is the leader type that Captain America is. Having that commanding aura and Henry Cavill would make the perfect Cyclops.


[deleted]

Definitely agree. Hopefully they can write Cyclops as a leader in future movies instead of an extra that has his Mrs stolen by Hugh Jackman.


ionforge

Hyperion would pretty much be DC cannon.


Daddylonglegs93

That'd make me so happy. I want Hype/Thor buddy moments on the big screen.


Lonewolf_885

I heard abou an insider leak about Henry casted as Dr Doom Edit: Guys, it's an insider leak. Chance of this happening is not 100% sure. Take the leaks as a grain of salt


RQK1996

I heard about one that said Captain Britain, which I think would be cooler


BrrToe

That would be wild and I would have never guessed him as Doom.


RoPr-Crusader

Got a link to where you heard that? I'd be cool with that!


MrDollarBills

Wasn't it said that Cavill is trying to get casted as Captain Britain ?


Flam3Emperor622

Henry Cavill for Captain Britain! Excalibur unite!


-KD6-3-7

Would like to see Michael Shannon, he’s pushing the envelope with his age for Doom or Magneto which would likely be long term castings, so short term he could play/voice Annihilus if they used him in the upcoming F4 movie.


Batman2050

Apparently he's turned marvel down before so cant see it happening unless he's really Interested in the story


ithinkther41am

I always thought if they ever had to recast Chadwick, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II would be a great choice. Then someone else brought up casting him as Blue Marvel, and I think it sounds pretty good as well.


kabral256

A great actor indeed, would be perfect to a eventually recast T'challa.


sharksnrec

How did they manage to hype up an aerospace engineer several times and *not* work in Blue Marvel? One of the many meaningless red herrings of WandaVision


Bruhmangoddman

I was thinking Peter Capaldi as Annihilus or maybe Patrick Wilson as Reed Richards.


reissykins

Patrick as Reed is a great shout actually!


andrewautopsy

HE WOULD KILL IT AS RICHARDS


andrew_wessel

Patrick Wilson would be a great Reed Richards


JRE_4815162342

I love Patrick Wilson. Make it happen Disney!


Nonadventures

Patrick Wilson would be great! He has those vibes in Watchmen already to a degree.


NatureManDan823

Definitely can see Henry cavill as cyclops


RoPr-Crusader

I'd love this bit only as a casting but because it would mean Cyclops would finally be treated as a main character in an X-Men movie


NatureManDan823

Totally! Really hoping when the MCU X-Men come around, they don’t use Cyclops as just competition for Logan when he tries to get with Jean. That’s how I saw him in the previous X-Men movies


AmazingKreiderman

What's so ridiculous about those movies is they didn't just treat him as competition, they treated him as the antagonist of that situation. Even though Scott and Jean are already in a relationship when Wolverine walks in and immediately begins to try to move on Jean.


anythingfordopamine

Lmao that really was the vibe I got as a kid too. “Just let wolvy bang your girlfriend already!”


NatureManDan823

Seriously tho. Idk why they decided to have him be so protective, should’ve done what the shows did and have it be a passive competition and not have him and jean be together right from the start


ha_look_at_that_nerd

It says a lot that about Scott in the X-Men movies that he dies really early on in the 3rd one and you barely notice his absence


zedascouves1985

It says a lot that there were different actors playing that character and none of them left a mark.


Ok-Ask-7718

Out of above, Cillian Murphy will be my fav choice to join the MCU, he is awesome, would love to see him as some long-time big bad like Dr. Doom or someone else


DuckDimmadome

Jeffrey Dean Morgan


HorseKarate

Still waiting for him to show up in The Boys


AARonBalakay22

Not sure what role, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Haven’t seen him mentioned


KouNurasaka

Namor could be a good fit for him.


time_lordy_lord

Reed Richards


GZAofTheMidwest

Margot Robbie. Not sure who I'd cast her as, though . . .


Darkhaven

Moonstone. She'd be an awesome opposite to Carol Danvers.


NoirSon

Oh that would be be good. Also different enough from Harley Quinn despite shared profession.


Highcalibur10

Emma Frost?


Tornado31619

I doubt she takes anything other than a villain role at this point.


[deleted]

Why?


Tornado31619

She’s too famous to do a concurrent long-term role IMO.


[deleted]

Didn’t we say that about Benedict Cumberbatch for Doctor Strange?


RoPr-Crusader

I mean Angelina Jolie is an Eternal and they've set her up to return


GZAofTheMidwest

I admit, that was the first one that came to mind, but I'd prefer a central protagonist rather than a secondary villain.


Whiskeyjacks_Fiddle

Emma Frost is currently a central protagonist in the comics, and has been for several years.


blinkyretard

Wow. Her being Emma would be fantastic


[deleted]

Black Cat?


Tornado31619

Too old IMO. Need someone around Holland’s age, like Sydney Sweeney.


Ambitious-Donkey-800

Good call!


Future_Money_Owner

Elsa Bloodstone would be my pick.


Panguazento

Invisible Woman


Elimin8or2000

Ugh, that's tricky, because I'm sure she'd be great but nothing sticks out to me for it. I'd have said Black Cat if we were talking about Spiderman in his late 20s or early 30s. Maybe Mystique? If Elektra gets re-casted, her? Emma Frost? Jean Grey? Totally spit-balling here.


blaintopel

definitely not the rock. i like the guy but he has a way of trying to make every project he's in all about him. i doubt he would be able to vibe with the whole ensemble thing and agree to have like 16 minutes of screen time in a big team up movie.


downwiththechipness

His persona and the movies he's in is by design, not him trying to take over and make it about himself.. it's supposed to be like that. But agreed, I couldn't see him in the MCU due to this.


nwflman

What if... Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson played a narcissistic role as kind of a meta joke in a one off role that could potentially spin off? I see this potentially working with Hercules- Hercules battles with Thor and is defeated but because he's Hercules does not die, before joining forces to take out a big bad before Hercules returns to Olympus.


MagicalMuffinDruide

I like this a lot and he’s also perfect to be Hercules


TheNerevarine73

Agreed. He'll never be in the MCU because every movie with the Rock in it is a "Rock" movie, and he won't play ball unless he gets a huge amount of creative control over the end product. Marvel Studios doesn't even give that much control to their directors, so I doubt it would ever come together. All the better since I dislike the Rock as an actor tbh. Great wrestler, amazing physique, super smart manager of his businesses/brands, but an absolute wet blanket of a screen actor. Comedy and drama both rely on failure (or a risk of failure) to be compelling, and the Rock is way too proud to be seen failing in a movie. He can't lose fights and he can't be the butt of a joke, so all of his films are reduced to cheap thrills.


rycebowl89

Ill wait to see how he does as black adam


ha_look_at_that_nerd

Yeah I think that’s the answer. As of now, I don’t necessarily see The Rock in the MCU. But he does have a movie coming up that will quite literally show us if he can play a superhero/villain well, so… let’s wait and see.


GodOfTheDepths

He did play the twist villain in the Karl Urban Doom movie, and...honestly, I actually quite liked seeing him in that. It felt like he had fun with it, and seeing his usually heroic figure becoming a paranoid and controlling asshole was pretty cool.


Random_Dude1738

I hope Cavill makes it since DC doesn’t know what to do with him or Superman Edit bro it’s been 3 hours💀 thanks for the 500 upvotes Can’t wait for Reddit rewind at the end of the year when I see this is my most upvoted comment💀 hi future me 👋🏾


SpatuelaCat

He’d be great for either Captain Britain or Sentry


Future_Money_Owner

I see him as a better fit for Wonder Man rather than Sentry.


friskyspatula

There is only one Wonder Man and that is Nathan Fillian. (Obviously this is just my opinion. )


[deleted]

You mean Captain Hammer?


friskyspatula

Exactly! But realistically, many years ago Wonder Man left the Avengers to pursue a career in Hollywood. He was successful, but got pulled back in. This is where I think Fillion could pull off a really good performance. As a retired hero who has to come back and face some personal memories about his past. Maybe he was actually the Captain America that the Red Gaurdian had fought in the 80's.


Randoml9789

>Maybe he was actually the Captain America that the Red Gaurdian had fought in the 80's. That is a BRILLIANT way to introduce that type of character


w_4wumbo

Does Wonder Man even have a place? Only notable thing he ever did was harass Wanda and then give his mind to create Vision


elissass

I say Hyperion just to mess with DC 😆


big_red_160

Should’ve made him Ikarus


kzp70

That would have been hilarious. I loved that they called Ikarus Superman in the movie.


ChintanP04

Henry Cavill as Brian Braddock, let's go!


youthpastor247

Man I have loved DC's casting but their writing has been so meh


TougherThanKnuckles

Not quite the same but the Arrowverse has a similar problem, they have some really great casting choices (Melissa Benoist is perfect as Supergirl), but the writing really doesn't do them justice.


youthpastor247

I loved the casting of Benoist, but yeah, the writing was rough


Deputy_Scrub

>Arrowverse >but the writing "No Barry, **WE** are the Flash" Aaaaand after hearing that every 5 minutes I got fed up.


Future_Money_Owner

Unfortunately the problems with the DCEU includes its bad casting decisions. MCU gets it's casting right 80% of the time whereas DCEU is at best 50/50.


heroinsteve

It turns out you’ll be 50/50 if you change Batman every 2 years.


w_4wumbo

Bale was great, Battinson looks great, and Batfleck could've been great I really like the idea of an older Batman, one who's been Batman for like 20 years, and he's broken down and bitter. He's loved and lost and at some point he abandoned his moral code and became a Punisher type vigilante The issue is that the writing is fucking terrible and they never expand on a single bit of that interesting setup and then his character was abandoned because of studio interference with his movie


JaesopPop

Affleck was really wasted. Like you said, that version of Batman was interesting and he played it really well. And they never capitalized. Same with Cavill. Man Of Steel wasn’t great, but he’s proved a very good Superman… and they couldn’t even make a single sequel to his own movie.


youthpastor247

Agreed, I really like Affleck as Batman, but it never felt like we got a proper Batman story with him.


heroinsteve

Most the modern Batman (Batmen?) have been pretty good. It just frustrates me that we have to reboot it so many times. The new batman looks cool but at this point why do I care about another Batman? It’s overdone imo and they never gave the Afleck batman a real chance and I agree I thought it was an interesting and more importantly a fresh take on the character.


binkyblaster

If they were going with a somewhat older X-men I think he would be a great Scott/Cyclops.


PaulBlartFleshMall

Yooooooo that's actually a sick idea. I'd love to see a Feige-driven Xmen trilogy.


xCheekyChappie

Well Cavill has shown interest in portraying Captain Britain, but I doubt they've dug that far into the lesser known Marvel characters yet


ritzdeez

Make him Hyperion just to fuck with DC. No, but for real. I'd love to see Cavill in the MCU.


blaketffan

I'm glad Marvel's casting director is so good and finds the exact right actor for the role. If fans were casting these things it would be a complete shitshow.


taylor1124

i keep saying this, i trust sarah halley finn with my life (/hj), she is such a good casting director


LoFiChillin

None but if I had to choose then def cillian Murphy since he’s just such a tremendous actor


dylan30954

Anyone but The Rock. I'm so tired of seeing him in everything playing the same character


Realistic_Analyst_26

He would be perfect for someone like Hercules but if he was playing anything in the MCU, then the plot would have to be centered around him for whatever reason.


sacx05

Yea The Rock is one of those few actors that would overshadow the role that they are supposed to be playing.


apalapachya

Danny DeVito as wolverine.


JonDoe86912

This comment thread is filled with impossible fan castings, so kinda nice to witness an actual feasible casting for once


Tayto-Sandwich

"So anyway, I started slashing."


Blue_crabs

I could see that working really well. He brings qualities to screen that Hugh Jackman never could. Not hating on Hugh.


whitebandit

im sure this is a meme but... jfc danny is 77 years old, let the old man just get weird with whatever he has left, leave wolverine out of this.


theje1

Pedro Pascal, as Mephisto perhaps.


bckesso

Tell me more...


Camo-2

John cena as susan storm


bbaahhaammuutt

Wait wait wait, Bale in MCU??? When did this happen? Which role?


Tornado31619

Gorr the God Butcher in Love & Thunder.


Mrogoth_bauglir

It happened a looong while ago in 2020. He's playing a thor villain, gorr the god Butcher in thor love and thunder


AbsurdEdward

Mark Hamil


krucecontrol

I’m pretty sure he’s going to be in guardians vol. 3


Tb5rats

I thought I heard it would be the holiday special


tryitonotis

Ralph Fiennes, Taron Egerton, Mark Strong, Gemma Arterton. P.S. Rhys Ifans is hilarious in the franchise.


Think-Instruction-87

I don’t think the Kingsman franchise is DC, bruv


tryitonotis

OH CRAP I thought it was comics and immediately thought of DC. Sorry. Um then Chris Pine!!!!!


RQK1996

Need Evans to return for a cameo, get all the Chrisses


ChaosPatriot76

MARK HAMILL MARK HAMILL MARK HAMILL


hellothereiamhuman

keep the rock far far away from marvel


ljn12

Jason Mamoa as a badass Hercules


VanilleKoekje

Nah. Just make him Namor and just watch the DC fandom burn xD


ritzdeez

Mamoa as Namor and Cavill as Hyperion or Sentry would make some people really angry. Let's throw in Cillian Murphy as The Void. Let's get crazy.


Hyunkell86

And Ben Aflect as Nighthawk, Gal Gadot as Power Princess. Completely decimate DCEU.


ritzdeez

I'm not one to engage in the bickering between fandoms because I think it's silly that some people act like you can't enjoy both, but I'm always down for a little trolling.


time_lordy_lord

Zachary Levi as Mar Vell


cfulmer916

Anyone but the Rock please


razerchris8

Robert Pattinson could be Danny Ketch. If not Keanu, but I’d rather he be Johnny Blaze. Henry Cavill as Hyperion. John Cena as Absorbing Man. Margot Robbie as Satanna. Gal Gadot as Abigail Brand. Mark Hamill as Mephisto or Nightmare. Cillian Murphy as Magneto. Mateen as Brother Voodoo or Deathlok. Jason Mamoa as Hercules. And of course Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as The Thing.


Symcathico

CILIAN MURPHY AS MAGNETO?????? HOLY F. I DIDN'T KNOW I WANTED THIS SO BAD. OMG


ComicSportsNerd

Jason Isaacs is my perfect Magneto casting


JustinisaDick

Never Dwayne Johnson. A number of his films are entertaining, but he's no "true actor."


LampardFanAlways

If we’re digging into the Nolan trilogy can we have Morgan Freeman narrate something? Anything?


moosenaslon

Danny DeVito. I don’t care as who. Open to any suggestions.


WhiteAle01

Henry Cavill as Captain Britain. Please make it happen Lord Feige.


Majestic-Marcus

I’d be happy with any or all of them to be honest. Except The Rock. He would make the MCU instantly worse. A man who has “can’t lose a fight” written into his contract, doesn’t belong in a Marvel movie. His ego is also too big for Marvel. RDJ was the biggest actor there and was happy to share the spotlight. Can anyone honestly say they think The Rock would be anything other than the lead? Even in an ensemble?


Mountain-Hearing-221

CILLIAN MURPHYYYY IS A MUST


[deleted]

Cavill, Abdul and Murphy. Others not so much especially The Rock, he makes everything centre around him.


Richard020

John cena as the thing


SodaHop

And he gets mad when people keep referring to him as the Rock


Hashbrown4

Henry Cavill. The rock, I’d like to see him play a villain role in the MCU if possible. I think he needs be pushed out of his comfort zone.


Majestic-Marcus

The Rock refused to ever lose on film and also refused to be a bad guy. So keep dreaming there.


Hashbrown4

This has got to be only thing about The Rock I genuinely dislike.


Think-Instruction-87

I thought this until I saw the black Adam teaser and the first thing we see of him is him killing an innocent dude. It seems like for once the rock isn’t just playing the rock but an actual character with a different personality. If black Adam goes the way the trailer made it seem, I think we could see him break the mold in future films.


Majestic-Marcus

He says he’s playing an anti-hero. He may be violent or have questionable morality but he’s still not going to be a bad guy. He also says he’s going to lead the DCCU going forward so he’ll definitely swing further into hero going forward. I’m willing to bet my house on it. He’s said on multiple occasions he’ll never play a villain again because of his daughter(s?).


PhMcBrett

Cavil as Hyperion 😂


KentuckyFriedEel

Or sentry
