ANTON YELCHIN as PETER PARKER/SPIDER-MAN: Anton Yelchin is a versatile young actor that has broke out in Hollywood, and I just think he can play all the important facets of both Peter Parker and Spider-Man.


JENNIFER LAWRENCE as GWEN STACY: Lawrence is among the best young actresses of today, many consider her the best, and her resemblance to Gwen is uncanny.


GREG KINNEAR as DR. CURT CONNORS/THE LIZARD: Kinnear appeared as Connors in the first film in order to establish his character before becoming a villain, Kinnear can be dramatic and comedic.


OSCAR JAENADA as SERGEI KRAVINOFF/KRAVEN THE HUNTER: Oscar Jaenada works well in these type of films, and his resemblance to Kraven made him a favorite of mine to play it.


DIANE KEATON as AUNT MAY PARKER: Diane Keaton is an icon, and having her makes a big impact, especially in playing such an integral and important role.


DAKOTA GOYO as BILLY CONNORS: I felt like aging the character of Billy, and Goyo seemed like a reasonable fit.


KATY PERRY as BETTY BRANT: Katy Perry is a singer first and foremost, but she has shown she has some acting chops and having her would be interesting.


KEVIN KLINE as J. JONAH JAMESON: Kline is energetic and has full of range, I have no doubt that he can play Jameson.


OBBA BABATUNDE as JOSEPH "ROBBIE" ROBERTSON: Babatunde can be stern and a caring figure.


AUSTIN BUTLER as EUGENE "FLASH" THOMPSON: Not much reasoning other then that he is a good young actor that can play a jock and come off as a douche.


JORDAN FOX as LIZ ALLEN: The reason for her being in this is so more high school characters are introduced, and to set up for an upcoming character in the third or fourth Spider-Man.


LUCY HALE as KITTY PRYDE: A tradition is to have at least one outside character make an appearance, in a cameo or a short role, and I thought it would be cool to take advantage of the fact that Kitty is also a high schooler and goes to Peter's school, and this can make way for an X-Men fan cast down the line.

Pretty good. The only one I'm iffy on is Katy Perry.

Anyway, can you check out my JLA Trilogy cast?

I used to cringe when I saw Anton picked for Spidey, as my only experience with him was in Star Trek, but after watching more of his stuff, I think he would be an awesome webhead! Great job on that!

Fantastic Connors pick! He is definitely a very underrated actor. I think him and Stanley Tucci are among the best, overlooked actors of our time.

I also really like your JJJ choice. Kevin Kline is brilliant and I have the absolute confidence he would be awesome!

Overall a great cast! Also, I have an Ant-Man fan cast a few spots down if you don't mind letting me know what you think!

- If Jennifer Lawrence tackles another Marvel movie, I think she'd be splendid as Young Avenger Kate Bishop. Especially since she handles a bow-and-arrow well in The Hunger Games. I've seen Ashley Benson be a decent choice for Gwen Stacy. Or Gillian Jacobs in the character's adult years (even though she never appears then).
- Katy Perry? Jesus Christ dude, the balls that you must pack. Okay, she does have a somewhat classic look that Betty Brant does, but there's no way she epitomizes the character. And where did you see her as a great actress? Plus, she's not well-liked amongst those with great taste in music.
- While she has a sunny disposition (or whatever Mistress Kizuna calls it), Lucy Hale doesn't really have the personality of Kitty Pryde. At least, as far as I'm concerned. She'd be a little better off as X-23 (fanart I saw of the character looks like they drew her based on Hale).

The other choices are great, though. Again, Greg Kinnear is an original, brilliant choice for Lizard (I agree with Doc Horrible, he's woefully underrated and talented).

No offence,but Yelchin would fit better as Haary Osborne,he has the range for the complex character & the relationship with his father.If it was done right & they introduced his darker aspects(becoming the Goblin after his dad),it would be amazing...my Spidey would always be Topher Grace...sucked as Venom but maybe too old for the part now.

Katy Perry? ARE YOU [frick]ING KIDDING ME? That casting is about as bad as my choice for Zac Efron as Bruce Wayne/Batman. Other than that, decent casting. Though I don't see what being comdeic has anything to do with someone being a good choice to play Dr.Curt Connors/The Lizard
