Fancasting for NEW-GEN live action film....Part 2

Some time has past since the announcement of the NEW-GEN live action movie, so here is the second installment of fan casting for the movie. There are some ideas taken from the comments on the last fan casting, so feel free to comment your ideas for a third possible installment.

Gabriel

Lit­tle is known by the cit­i­zens of NEW-GEN about the man called Gabriel before he arrived on their world, but he has changed it much in the time he has lived there. What is known is that, he pos­sess a Kane which seems to give him great power and his knowl­edge of sci­ence and nan­otech­nol­ogy have helped him bal­ance and lead NEW-GEN to a new era of pros­per­ity and peace due to his actions. Many see him as father to the cur­rent world of NEW-GEN. Gabriel him­self would prob­a­bly agree.

Aaron Eckhart has been one of hot actors since is role in the Dark Knight and he has proven that he can play deep and easy going roles almost at the same time.



Daniel Craig is no stranger to sci-fi roles, his most recent coming up in Cowboys and Aliens. He really can play the action star, while still bringing an intellectual sense to the role, like in James Bond.



Jason Statham can play the action roles of Gabriel from the comics to a T. Making the action sequences believable will be important for this role.

Deadalus

Born on NEW-GEN after Gabriel had already arrived and begun his work, Deadalus grew up to even­tu­ally become one of Gabriel’s great­est pro­teges. Together the two made many advance­ments, par­tic­u­larly in the realm of nan­otech­nol­ogy. But after suf­fer­ing great losses in his per­sonal life, he began exper­i­ments to make the inhab­i­tants of NEW-GEN per­fect and invul­ner­a­ble cit­i­zens. Enraged when Gabriel sought to stop him, the two fought and Deadalus found him­self ban­ished from NEW-GEN to the Under­world, from where he now plots his revenge.



Gary Oldman is a well respected actor, and his role in his first appearance of Harry Potter fits the psycho vibe of Deadalus.



Josh Brolin can play any role, plus he is great shape to play Deadalus after the transformation.



Timothy Olyphant plays some weird roles, and this one could fit him very well.

Thea

Also born on NEW-GEN, Thea was a care­taker for the nat­ural world of NEW-GEN before Gabriel arrived. The two soon fell in love and with each of their indi­vid­ual tal­ents found a way to per­fectly bal­ance the nat­ural world of NEW-GEN with the tech­no­log­i­cal advances Gabriel made to improve the world. Even­tu­ally the two even had twin chil­dren, Sean and Chris, who trag­i­cally had to be sent to Earth after Deadalus releases his nanobots amongst the pop­u­lace, to save them from infec­tion. This has led to deep rift in their rela­tion­ship, with Thea even leav­ing Gabriel to return to her for­mer home. But recently she has returned to take over the tute­lage of the chil­dren of NEW-GEN at A.P.N.G. Headquarters.



Olivia Munn is on the brink of taking off, and just needs a non-comedy part to show she can be the real deal actor.



Demi Moore is one of the most respected actresses in Hollywood, and would play a great stern, yet mothering character.



Kate Beckinsale is no stranger to the fantasy movies, and seems to be able to play almost any role that is in front of her.

Sean and Chris

Sean and Chris are twin broth­ers, the chil­dren of Gabriel and Thea. The two of them were sent to Earth as babies, under the care of robot par­ents to keep them safe from Deadalus when he unleashed his nanites upon NEW-GEN. The two boys know noth­ing of their ori­gins, their true par­ents or their true place of birth. Whether the two of them grow to have any NanoPow­ers like the rest of the A.P.N.G. remains to be seen.



I couldn't believe this picture when I saw it, Zac Efron and Chase Crawford almost look like twins. A little make-up and these up and coming stars could easily fit the role.

Carmen

The youngest of the A.P.N.G. team Car­men works extra hard to prove her­self in their eyes due to the dark legacy she feels she must make up for being the daugh­ter of Deadalus, the sci­en­tist respon­si­ble for so many on NEW-GEN’s new phys­i­cal forms and abil­i­ties. Since her father was ban­ished, she was taken in by Gabriel and Thea like many other chil­dren and always strives to do her best in order to remind every­one, she is far more than her father’s daughter.



Ashley Greene has the depth to play a character, which for the most part has been shrouded in mystery.



Maybe Miley Cyrus just needs a good movie to focus on, and a role that gets her away from teen romance and Disney.



Selena Gomez is another teen star that needs a good role to get her into the next level, maybe this is it.

Mini

Mino­taur was only a lit­tle older than the other chil­dren when he was infected by Deadalus’s nanobots and mutated into the shape of a bull-headed human. As such, he has a devel­oped a per­son­al­ity much like the ani­mal he is shaped like. Called “Mini” by those who know him, he has a nasty tem­per to match his mas­sive strength and dura­bil­ity, but remains a stal­wart and loyal com­pan­ion to his friends. Act­ing as the role of drill sergeant for the A.P.N.G, he leads the team in bat­tle and is often the first respon­der in many com­bat and dan­ger­ous situations.



Big Show Paul Wright is 7 feet tall, and with stilts could easily fill the 9 foot tall Mini.



Matt Morgan is another huge guy that can fill the shoes, and since he will be Darkseid on Smallville, I guess we will get a chance to see if he can act.



Nathan Jones has played the big tough role before in movies, and although he hasn't said much, maybe he has something to say now.

Diamond

With a body com­posed of a carbon-based diamond-like mate­r­ial, Diamond’s body appears to be one of the strongest mate­ri­als dis­cov­ered on NEW-GEN and is nearly invul­ner­a­ble. He is devoted to mar­tial arts train­ing and seeks noth­ing short of per­fec­tion for him­self, phys­i­cally and well as mentally.



Byung-hun Lee played a great Storm Shadow, but now it might be time for him to play a good guy for the A.P.N.G.



Rain did some great stunts in Ninja Assassins, and could do some great action moments as Diamond.

Flyer

Fly­er’s NanoPow­ers have given him the abil­ity to fly with large brown bat like wings. He’s dri­ven by a com­pet­i­tive spirit to prove he’s just as good if not bet­ter than all the oth­ers who have slightly stronger muta­tions. Due to that he con­stantly com­petes with Gazelle and strives to make sure that if he can’t be the fastest thing on two feet, he will be the fastest in the air.



I have no idea if Lil Wayne can act, but the look is pretty close.

Gazelle

Gazelle is the super speed­ster mem­ber of the A.P.N.G. and far faster than the ani­mal her form mutated into as a result of the nano infec­tion many had. While many of the A.P.N.G.’s mem­bers may be bet­ter hand to hand com­bat­ants than her, her speed eas­ily makes up for any dis­ad­van­tage suf­fered from lack of skill.



Alexa Vega hasn't been in too much lately, but she did very well in the Spy Kids movies, and needs a older role to really show off.



Leighton Meester needs a good role to get away from Gossip Girl, and this is it. Plus she is B-E-A-utiful.

Roboduck

Robo­duck is a robot much like that of Nate Guard, except due to a strange inter­ac­tion with the nanobots of NEW-GEN lacks the abil­ity to store and take in infor­ma­tion like a machine and instead must learn like that of a human being. This in turn, makes Robo­duck the most unique and human of all sen­tient robots on NEW-GEN as he is able to feel emo­tion, dis­obey orders, and gen­er­ally act the bit of a class clown with the rest of the A.P.N.G. While not the best fighter in com­bat, Robo­duck does pos­sess the abil­ity to fly, much like his name­sake, and his atomic pow­ered flam­ing burps come in quiet handy as a long range weapon.



Mark Hamill is announced for the movie, and I didn't want to give him the same role as last time, so this could be an interesting role.
