The ONLY perfect castings in /co/ related live action adaptations are Christopher Reeve as Superman, John Luigizama as Clown, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, and Robert Down's Syndrome Jr. as Iron Man.

EVERYTHING else is hypothetically surpassable.

Patrick Stewart as Professor X

>Robert Down's Syndrome Jr. as Iron Man.
He made an entirely different character than what Iron Man was before the MCU.

Hugh Jackson's Wolverine suffers the same, they are both great versions, they themselves have created, but far from a true adaptation from source material.

Was so iconic they cut the character out of ASM rather than recast him

>>91589129
Eh I think Hugh at least would be willing to go full pre movie comic wolvie were it not for his height and the execs/writers aiming at different audiences.

>>91589504
They are both great, but I always thought Cap would be older. Chris does alright with what lines he's given though.

>>91589129
Would SM2 Doc Ock count with that?

They made him Australian after that. The actor did such a fucking good job.

>>91588513
He does such an amazing job. I always thought Wellsbard would never be surpassed but I was wrong. Wellsboard represents an Eobard that has grown and evolved past his prior self (thought still a selfish bastard) while Letscherbard represents Eobard at the height of his dickishness and egoism (just killed Nora Allen and strutting his stuff). It's kinda amazing. And the best part is that he can go from smug to scared in the blink of an eye and it be completely in character.

I'd say so. Alfred Molina created a nuanced character with layers of depth. Ock in 616 is a saturday morning super villain with a literal mind switch machine.

I fucking loathe Zack the Hach with all I have, but Jackie Earle Haley looked perfect as Rorschach.

>>91592043
The one bright spot of this film.

It'd be okay with a Beast solo film, where he is working as a mutant ambassador at the whitehouse. It'd be like the West Wing, but with Mutants.

Shelly Duvall was the perfect Olive Oyl

Why would Captain America be older?

He should have been around early to mid-20s when he went into suspended animation.

Didn't he just straight up play Shaggy in the shows/movies after a while?

Im looking forward to seeing him as skurge. Ive a feeling he may not have much to work with but he'll play a decent executioner nonetheless

>>91592018
I'd love to know how quickly he was hired after they found Jackie, he's just so fucking perfect. Surely they had him read some journal lines in a gritty voice and that was it right?

I was sincere! In the games they had red/green coveralls and blue shirts. Someone went through the trouble of finding or making red/green coveralls instead of taking the lazy route and buying denim coveralls and red/green shirts. It wasn't till Mario 64 that Nintendo made the blue coveralls canon.

YJ was fucking weird with villain casting since they used the idea of bringing in known TV and film actors like the DCEU. Sometimes it was spot on. Other times it was trying a bit too hard to avoid the DCEU and cast differently.

Rob Lowe as Shazam was goddamn perfect, though.

Signed with WB to play Jim Gordon in JL, The Batman and other DCMU Properties. Very, very unlikely to come back because of and Sony was looking for someone younger in the leaked emails because they wanted a clean break from the Raimi films.

They have to re-cast eventually. It's just the role was so iconic. They have to go they could go more subtle like a JJJ who's hard on his staff because he's hard on himself after his son was declared missing, presumed dead on a failed space shuttle mission. Still funny but a bit dark in his resentment of Spider-Man and the "Vigilanties" appearing in New York

Though as for recasting? Gary Cole would probably not be on their Radar but by god I could see him doing a semi-Serious JJJ really well. Actually surprised Marvel haven't cast him yet in a show as JJJ. He'd be a good fit
