Maybe this has been done before. Anyway, if Sentinels had a big budget movie like the Avengers, who would you want to play the heroes?

Tempest - Doug Jones

The Scholar - Phillip Seymour Hoffman

 

Those are the only two that I can think of at the moment...

Kate Micucci as the Wraith ! Please ! :kiss: Her buddy Riki Lindhome could be Tachyon.

Jack Black as the Scholar.

William H. Macy as Legacy, as strange as it seems :slight_smile: And Reverend Ivan Stang as Baron Blade :smiley:

Edit : Let's add Lawrence Makoare as Haka and Andy Serkis as Absolute Zero.

Don't know much about the scholar since I'm not a playtester. I think Jack Black could pull off the wacky, quirkly aspects of the character, but my interpretation of the character is that under the eccentricity is a dignified wisdom that I think could be pulled off by Hoffman, and Hoffman could definitely do the wacky too as anyone who's seen the Big Lebowski can tell you.

Garfunkle and Oates!?  That would be awesome!

Agreed, Nielzabub - I just used the opportunity to toss the name of people I like, as my knowledge of today's actors is very limited. And by the way : Sam Rockwell as Bunker ?

Both ladies seem like they would be able to pull off the look for both characters without much trouble.

I think Sam Rockwell could pull off a decent Bunker.

I am always for more Sam Rockwell, but I think he would be a bit too old for the role.

…Not that I actually have any idea of who could pull it off.  Shock… :slightly_frowning_face:

I feel the urge to add a Yukulele equipment card to the Wraith's deck.

Sorry for both the double post and not taking this casting seriously enough, Nielzabub.

For Citizen Dawn, what would you think of Cate Blanchett or Claudia Christian ?

I'm going to go with Claudia Christian, mostly because I love Babylon 5. Claudia has a really strong stage presence and is always charming even when her character is being a complete jerk, which I think would be perfect for someone like Dawn.

Blanchett as Dawn, Christian as The Assistant.

Don't know much about Assistant other than she can really kill you, but that sounds like solid casting.

The playtesting forums don't really give much more insight on a character than what is provided on the Kickstarter.  The Hero or Villain M.O. is established through the cards, but their hopes, dreams, and appearance are easily accessed by everyone with their bios and pictures.

I think Nathan Fillion could actually pull off a decent Legacy. He has the chin and is actually about the right age.

No, he's pretty much set as Captain Hammer.

That's why it's called acting. :wink:

I think Nathan's a great choice, but then I'm a Browncoat… :sunglasses:

Ron Glass for Mr. Fixer? :grin:

I'm not saying he couldn't pull it off, but it would be awfully confusing.. I mean, we're supposed to LIKE Legacy, aren't we?

Ron Glass as Fixer seems pretty obvious, yes. Then again, you could probably fit the whole cast of Firefly somewhere in the Multiverse...

There's always room for Alan Tudyk, before he's impaled.

I thought about Morena Baccarin as Expatriette, but I din't find her "tough" enough. Lena Headey ? Halle Berry ? Anne Hathaway ?

Katee Sackhoff?

Oooh Katee Sackoff as Expatriette!! I like that, a lot. 

I was kind of thinking Laura Linney as The Assistant. 

And, lets be real, Gina Carrano is kind of the Real Life Wraith. 

I could see Molly Quinn as the Matriarch. 

I love the idea of Andy Serkis as AZ and Nathan Fillion as Legacy. Too perfect.

My daughter watches this show on Disney Channel called "Pair of Kings." Geno Segers plays the Maori-ish bodyguard and advisor to the kings. His costume and personality both are essentially Haka. He even grows a beard and dons a hoodie in an episode.

Jean Claude van Damme as Ambuscade?

I've got to vote Jason Momoa for Haka. Heck, the guy even did a haka as his audition tape for Game of Thrones (the good videos have all been removed from Youtube, but you can still find a couple low quality versions out there).

And as long as people are suggesting Firefly cast members for people, let's go with Summer Glau for Unity.

I don't know why but I for some reason my mind casts the following:

 

Absolute Zero:  Mario Lopez (in an AZ suit)

America's Greatest Legacy:  Kurt Russell

Mister Fixer:  John Amos

Tachyon:  Jennifer Lopez

Citizen Dawn:  Kate Winslet

Any chance of anyone agreeing with me that Dawn should be Charlize Theron?

No, she needs to be the matriarch. Have you seen Snow White and the Huntsman?

ISnt the Matriarch like, 17? I don't see it, Theron as her...

Well she is basically the Matriarch in that movie, especially on her flip side.

Sarah Michelle Gellar as Tachyon? It would be different from what she normally does, but I think she has the right look and sense of humor. We also need to get Peter Cullen as Omnitron-X so that we can have Frank Welker as Omnitron.

Cobie Smulders as Expat. She has that rough, all-business demeanor, and she is a pretty good action-chick character (see the Avengers)

I've always seen AZ as nothing but wit and sarcasm ... aka Alan Rickman

and Ryan Rynolds as AA ... mainly because if Ryan doesn't get in my partner will kill me
