Hot off the news that Dan Mazeau had been contracted to write a screenplay for
The Flash, we're now getting our first casting rumors for the film. According to
ThinkMcFlyThink, Warner Brothers is looking at Scott Porter as one of the the top two contenders for the role of the Scarlet Speedster.
Porter, best known for his role on
Friday Night Lights, was formerly considered the top contender for the role of Superman in
Justice League: Mortal, the now-dead adaptation of DC's greatest superhero team from director George Miller.
According to the rumor, the studio has been keeping an eye on Porter for a role in one of their superhero films ever since
Justice League: Mortal fell through.

i guess thats ok
I just have this scene in my head of Flash running around a load of bad guys and slapping or hitting them with their own hands and Flash is running around them going
"Why you hitting yourself, huh? Why you hitting yourself?"
And i can only see someone like Ryan Reynolds getting away with something like that as a superhero.
Ok i've never read any of Captain Marvel, so i can't really can't speak an opinion on him.
Although Aqua-Man is lame, to the eyes of many comic fans, i reckon if he was reinvented he could be pretty awesome, think Aquaman never really got reinvented, even though it was a success during the golden age of comics.
Now some will say that Aquaman never got reinvented because he was lame. But if he was reinvented now, it could be pretty good considering how comic writers have become kind of more creative in recreation and intertwining and weaving stories together.
Like the reboot version i did to Aquaman, his Posideon.
But that's my opinion, lol i reckon Atom Ant is the worst hero, how you can take a superhero with a name like that serious is beyond me.
If Porter got the part, I won't be turned away, though.
Vamp i don't think you can humiliate, Mr Incoherent Basher and his Movieweb forum wife any more than they humiliate themselves
anyway Porter is a fine actor and has the build to play a superhero, plus he is an unknown which makes him cheap so money can then go towards other areas where they will need it, like effects and a prolly well known supporting castin to help this movie get the attention it deserves.
At least i'm not the only one that thinks Reynolds is suitable for this role.
I'd like to see a Martian Manhunter film, it would be very interesting.
When i think of Flash, i just think of a skinny Ryan Reynolds, i don't know why maybe because his films have contained the cocky sarcastic attitude that emements Flash a lot.
Atom Ant was the worst one btw guys.
I think an Aquaman film could be interesting, despite how lame the comic is, the film could be pretty awesome, but i'm speaking from a reinvented story concept i created for it, which was in my own terms, pretty fucking radical, i recreated Aquaman as Posideon.
But i doubt it will ever be done because water SFX costs a lot.
As for this guy, I see him more as Aquaman rather than the Flash. He looks too tough to be the Flash, who is depicted mostly as skinny, scrawny, and a rebellious/sarcastic teen.
Well nothing is set in stone so we'll just have to wait and see. Then we can really start trashing the choices of the movie studios.
