Gotham fantasy-cast roundup picspam

[gwenfrankenstien]

(Given that the point of the exercise was to avoid more movies about white men, I haven't cast any white male characters here. This post is very image-heavy.)


Javier Bardem as Bane


Pink as Harley


Christina Hendricks as Ivy


Lisa Marie as Natalia


Dame Judi Dench as Dr.Leslie Thompkins


Very close second choice: Helen Mirren


Cote De Pablo as Talia


Or alternately, Freida Pinto as Talia


Arsalan Ghamesi as Damian


Michelle Yeoh as Shiva


Yifei Liu as Cass


Jeeja Yanjin or


Ellen Wong would also be acceptable, but they don't look like they could be Michelle Yeoh's daughters


Alona Tal as Steph


Ann Stocking as Babs


Second choice: Teal Sherer


Yvonne Stahovski as Dinah


Maggie Sif as Kate


Michelle Rodriguez as Detective Renee Montoya


or as the Question


D. B. Woodside as Detective Crispus Allen


Jane Lynch as Captain Maggie Sawyer

Still looking for Ra's, Helena, and anyone else you can think of that should be here.

I am terrible at this game, so I appreciate people who are good at it. This pleases me a great deal.

Thanks! I love this game, 'cos when I find an actor I'd like to see in a role, they tend to stick with me. (Which is terrible when it's a child role and the actor grows up...)

Your ideas are all awesome! Esp. Michelle Rodriguez. I agree that she's the obvious choice, but that doesn't necessarily make it bad; the only thing I wonder is whether she can be as restrained/subtle as Renee often is. The visual similarities are striking, but I've usually seen her in more explosive roles.

The only one I wonder about is Alona Tal - I like her a lot but I've always seen Steph as more broad-shouldered, punchy. Maybe even Kristen Bell if she was taller. Leelee Sobieski? Blake Lively (argh)? Amanda Walsh? IDK IDK. Sara Canning if she was a little younger? Arielle Kebble? & speaking of actors who've been on The Vampire Diaries, I feel like Katerina Graham would make a good Tamara Fox.

Yeah, Alona is not QUITE a match for Steph. I've also seen her cast as Mia Dearden... I think she's getting a bit old for either part, if I'm really honest, but idk who I like better.

Ooh! She could be Tam, yeah! But I feel like she might be too young? They keep referring to her as Tim's "Older Woman"... I guess that would depend on who you cast as Tim, though.

Michelle Rodriguez as Detective Renee Montoya
*SCREAM*

All of these are great, but that one is just ADFLKASD TOO HOT, CANNOT DEAL.

[gwenfrankenstien]

I kept waffling on that, because it's a little too obvious?

BUT NO, SHE WOULD BE SO GREAT, I DON'T HAVE TO JUSTIFY THIS.

I'm kind of in love with Monica Belluci for Helena.

Hi!

I considered her, but she seems... too pretty? I don't know how else to describe it, but she looks like an actor, to me. -weirdly picky-
