Joslezio85 casts the new "Heroes for Hire"

I originally started this with the intention of casting the original Heroes for Hire. But, after toying around with it for a few days. I decided to go ahead and cast the newest version of Heroes for Hire instead. This took awhile, and is probably the hardest I’ve ever worked on a fan cast ever. Hope you enjoy.

Heroes for Hire


GHOST RIDER.
Johnny Blaze is Ghost Rider, former motorcycle stunt driver who now fights injustice as an undead vigilante with the powers cursed upon him by an Angel known as Zadkiel in the most recent Origin. Ghost Rider is one of the most powerful beings on earth.



MICHAEL C. HALL
I first started watching Michael C. Hall in the HBO series Six Feet Under, great show by the way. Michael C. Hall played the in the closet undertaker trying to live up to his fathers name. His performance in that show blew me away. After that, he signed on to play Dexter in the Showtime TV show of the same name. He plays a cold, calculating serial killer, who just happens to be a cop investigating his own murders. Now, to be honest, these are the only two things I’ve ever seen him in. But, I really don’t think I need anything else because he is awesome in both these shows.

Born in 1971.
Starred in:
Six Feet Under
Dexter
Gamer
Paycheck



ELEKTRA
Elektra Nachios is Daredevil's most fearsome enemy as well as his former lover. But she is most renowned as being the greatest assassin in the World.



RHONA MITRA
Ok. So I’m a big fan of Boston Legal. But, very little of her character in that show screams Elektra to me, aside from her being a total bitch. Now, Doomsday is probably one of my all time favorite “senseless violence” type movies, and Rhona’s role in that screams Elektra to me. That mixed with her role in Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, as the daughter of the bad guy, lover of the good guy, makes her perfect to play this role.

Born in 1976.
Starred in:
Beowulf
Nip/Tuck
Shooter
Skinwalkers
The Number 23
Shooter




MOON KNIGHT.
Marc Spector, Steven Grant, Jake Lockley: different aspects of the same man. Resurrected by Khonshu, the Egyptian Lunar God of Vengeance and Justice as his "Avatar".



JENSEN ACKLES
Jensen is one of those actors that is really, really good for a whole lot of roles. The role of Moon Knight is just one of them. I wanted him as Captain America. Than, I wanted him as Hawkeye. We see how that turned out, so I’ll take him as Moon Knight and be happy.

Born in 1978.
Starred in:
Supernatural
My Bloody Valentine
Dawson’s Creek
Smallville
Batman: Under the Red Hood



IRON FIST
The latest in a long line of warriors known as Iron Fist, Danny Rand delivers vigilante justice.



SEANN WILLIAM SCOTT
I know, this is a weird choice. But, for some reason, I’ve always wanted Seann to play this part. After seeing Bulletproof Monk. I know, that with a little training he could do this role masterfully.

Born in 1976.
Starred in:
Final Destination
The Rundown
Bulletproof Monk
The Dukes of Hazzard




THE PUNISHER
Born in the fires of war and baptized in the deaths of his family, Frank Castle began to fight a one-man war. He has become the deadliest vigilante to ever walk the earth, the Punisher.





JOE MANGANIELLO
This dude doesn’t really stand out to me, never has. I know a lot of people on CBM want him for Superman. But, I just don’t see it. I remember him from Spiderman, and I remember him from Running Scared even though for some reason it’s not on IMDB. He’s an all right actor, but he doesn’t scream anything “Main Star” to me. So I put him as the punisher, teamed up with all of these other people. I figure he can pull it off.



PALADIN
A (usually) benevolent mercenary who often works with superheroes and flirts with superheroines; he wears custom body armor, night vision goggles and a stun gun. He recently was a part of Norman Osborn's black ops Thunderbolts team, but left when it was disbanded. His real name is unknown.



HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN
This Star Wars actor, pretty much dropped off the radar after well, Star Wars. He did Jumper, which was an o.k. movie. But other than that hasn’t really done anything else. Which is why he’s perfect for the role of this guy I know nothing about, who seems to have no depth as a character, and as far as I can tell is just there for filler.

Born in 1980.
Starred in:
The Virgin Suicides
Life as a House
Star Wars: Episode 2 and 3
Jumper



MISTY KNIGHT
Misty Knight is a former New York cop with a bionic arm, martial arts skills, and an attitude. She runs Heroes for Hire with Colleen Wing.



ZOE SALDANA
Zoe Saldana is one of them actresses that I just love. I’ve adored her in everything I’ve seen her in. She always has that “I’m a bad ass, deal with it” attitude, and that’s something I adore her in. From “Star Trek” to “The Losers.” This girl has shown that she has what it takes to pull off any bad girl role. Which is why she’s perfect for Misty Knight.

Born in 1978.
Starred in:
Death at a Funeral
Star Trek
Avatar
The Losers



FALCON
Empowered by Evil, inspired by Good, Sam Wilson's bleak and disillusioned outlook on life was wiped away the day he met Steve Rogers aka Captain America. He now uses his wings, combat prowess,and avian telepathy as the Falcon, defender of Harlem and partner of Captain America



SHEMAR MOORE
Will Smith was my original choice to play the Falcon. But, with the previous cast, he’s just a little too old. Not to mention he’s one of the biggest names in Hollywood and shouldn’t/wouldn’t have to share the screen with so many other actors. Shemar Moore is a good actor. I wanted him for Luke Cage but, I will take him as Falcon.

Born in 1970.
Starred in:
Criminal Minds
Diary of a Mad Black Woman
Birds of Prey
Chasing Alice

I wont lie to you @ JOS... only see MCH as MATT MURDOCK (Daredevil), though lovin' the rest, even Punisher (even though I'm dead set on TOM JANE back as Frank).

Great casting man you get a thumbs up from me!

sorry but i seriously dont like your iron fist pick, tom hardy or charlie hunnman would be better picks both great actors and have martial arts background, how ever scott would be a great replacement if reynolds didnt get the chance to do deadpool. but besides that i really like the cast some very original picks

Great fancast JOS@ altho' I never have
liked Rhona Mitra for Elektra! She's too
square-jawed for my liking! There seems
to be a lot of folks here that like her
for the part! I'm starting to like Eliza
Dushku for the role cuz she looks more
feminine to me!

Punisher, Falcon and Misty are great!

Yeah, Hall would be better for DD.
Don't really see him as GR! But he
is such a great actor he surely could
do GR justice!

Again, VERY cool fancast JOZ@!

Cool cast your Punisher choice is interesting I think he is a bit younge I always pictured Frank as a middle aged man. I like your Moon Knight pick very original. I like your Ghost Rider pick but I think he more of a Daredevil pick. Good cast tho.

I'm seriously considering doing a "Heroes for Hire" fancast myself. Thing is, my next fancast is gonna be "Marvel Knights", and I've already got things going. All I need to do is throw all my pics on Photobucket, then go from there. But I love this cast, by the way. Here are my thoughts:

- While I'm willing to give Nic Cage another shot (Neveldine/Taylor are great directors; again, they got [frick]ed by corrupt filmmakers and their vision turned into Megan Fox's last film), I guess it wouldn't hurt to recast GR. But Michael C. Hall is Daredevil, forever!

- I hear Rhona Mitra's the best choice for Elektra. But he's too small. I see her for Domino. Stana Katic, meanwhile, is tall, knows martial arts, and can speak Greek. Or Alexa Davalos, since she's of Greek ancestry.

- Decent Moon Knight.

- I don't know if Iron Fist is comic relief or what. That said, Seann does have martial arts skills from "Bulletproof Monk" and "The Rundown".

- Decent Punisher.

- Decent Paladin

- I choose Sydney Tamiia Poitier as Misty Knight. She's of exact height anyway, and would look great in that suit.

- I had Shemar as Falcon once.

Ok. First. A lot of editing I did in this cast, for some reason didn't take, so it's not nearly as awesome as it was. Will investigate.

Now, Luke Cage and Colleen Wing are neither members of the New Heroes for Hire.

I actually don't like Michael C. Hall as Daredevil. Never have. Don't know why...just don't.

Jensen Ackles would be a good ghost rider but Danny Ketch not Johnny Blaze.

Jeffrey Donovan. I hate. That's that. lol.

I considered Cam Gigandet, Ryan Phillipe, and Charlie Hunnam as well. But, Cam, I like for other roles. Ryan, is getting kinda older and fatter lol and talks way to proper for my liking. Hunnam, just looks way too young for me.

Devon Aoki. looks goofy to me and it freaks me out.

@zemus. thanks for the brutal honesty. your opinion matters.

Oh, and I also have no idea who Paladin is.

I casted Joe as Punisher, just to make the age ranges more similar. I would prefer Tom Jane back as well. But, for this, I wanted younger. Same goes for Falcon, I think Will Smith would rock the role. But...yeah.
