Like all superhero fans, we all want a Live-Action Teen Titans Movie. Whether this is with the squad we all know from the TV (Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg) or with added additions (Superboy, Wonder Girl, etc.) it's something that's been on superhero lovers for years. The First Movie would include Nightwing, Starfire, Beast Boy, Tim Drake, Cyborg, Hawk and Dove going up against Music Meister (yeah I know but I think he could make a great villain) to save the JL (I'll explain in a sec). Enjoy!
Plot
Teen Titans have split so that way we don’t have to address their forming for too much of a movie. Split because they put a lot of people at risk in a heavy battle. JL saved them and Batman split them up. That’s why Nightwing left Batman and decided to forge his own path. Years later, they must re-forge when JL is brainwashed by Music Meister and they put themselves in a machine that will transfer their powers to him. Music Meister brainwashes people with his music so he goes straight to the top (leader of the free world) and begins to take over the world. Only people who can stop him are Titans with super ear plugs developed by Cyborg (or something like that). Cyborg joins them becuase Music Meister's songs don't effect him. Music Meister is, throughout the movie, emassing a gang to control the world with him.
Director - The Duffer Brothers
The Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things)
In my opinion, the Russo Brothers are currently the best directors around, although that's just me. But since they're in the MCU and I doubt Marvel and Fiege would let them go anytime soon we'll turn to the next best set of brothers on the up and commence. The Duffer Brothers are clearly headed in the right direction with Stranger Things being the hit that it was. DC would be crazy not to snap them up. I reckon they could take the Titans in a new darker (much, much darker) way. For these movies to work, they'd have to be quite dark, or maybe even MA 15+ (or R for Americans). Now the characters...
Nightwing - Dylan O'Brien
Dylan O'Brien (American Assassain, Deep Water Horizon, The Internship)
He's obviously gonna be there, I think Dylan O'Brien could do an amazing job as Nightwing. I originally had my heart set on Taron Egerton playing Nightwing and Dylan playing Red Hood but the ages didn't match up. So O'Brien will play Nightwing and Egerton as Red Hood. Dylan O'Brien can easily bring the charm needed for Nightwing and I reckon could match Affleck on screen physically and stand up to him easy.
Other choices: Taron Egerton, Skylar Astin, Scott Eastwood
Starfire - Tori Kelly / Hailee Steinfeld
Tori Kelly (Sing)
I think Tori Kelly is the perfect Starfire with the hair and the new to Earth personality. Question is though whether she can act or not (I'm confident she can). Kelly is the biggest risk on this list and she's a risk I'm not sure DC would take. If they don't (which face it they won't), I want Hailee Steinfeld to take her place. She can sing, she can act and she knows what it's like to be apart of a big name movie (Pitch Perfect, The Edge of Seventeen, Enders Game).
Other Choices: Ashley Benson
Red Robin - Cole Sprouse
Cole Sprouse (Riverdale,Just 4 Kicks)
Please,please, please DC with a cherry on top make this happen. Cole Sprouse is perfect for this role. He's a star and his character Jughead on Riverdale was a prime example for what Red Robin needs. He's perfect (although I'll admit, it was hard to not find a role for Dylan Minette).
Other Choices: Dylan Minette, Ryan Potter
Hawk and Dove - Daniel Radcliffe & Emma Stone
Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) & Emma Stone (La La Land)
I decided to join these two seeing as you can't have one without the other. Daniel Radcliffe should be able to play insane/agent of chaos quite easily while Emma Stone seems to be the kind of person I'd want in charge of my school project group. And I'm sure they'd be able to gel rather quickly.
Other Choices: Kellan Lutz & Lili Reinhart
Music Meister - Eddy Redmayne
Eddy Redmayne (Fantastic Beasts, The Theory of Everything)
I wanted Neil Patrick-Harris to be Music Meister on the Flash as much as the next guy but I thought he wouldn't be evil or insane enough for the job. So obviously Redmayne was the next best choice. Eddy Redmayne is finally getting some stardom thanks to Fantastic Beasts. He's perfect when you really think about it.
Other Choices: Neil Patrick-Harris, Ewan McGregor
Riddler - Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator, Walk the Line)
Joaquin Phoenix seems like the kind of guy who is cool, calm, collected but threatening. He needs to be able to not only stand up to Eddie Redmaynne in this movie but Ben Affleck/Batman. Joaquin would kill it, constantly messing Batman up, challenging him and even at one point either joining the Suicide Squad or becoming an ally of Batman.
Other Choices: Jim Parsons, Neil Patrick-Harris, Casey Affleck
Killer Frost - Emma Watson
Emma Watson (Beauty and the Beast, Harry Potter)
You can see it know can't you. So can Music Meister. This movie would serve as an origin to Killer Frost with Music Meister seeing the future (thanks to the Flash), he sees ice everywhere and his "empire" destroyed by Killer Frost (which means she soloed the JL). So he creates her and she joins his empire. Emma Watson is PERFECT!!!! I just one to see Emma Watson standing upon a mountain of ice and shooting people with ice. It seems so perfect. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN DC!!
Other Choices: Natallie Dormer, Emilia Clarke
Hal Jordan (Pre-GL) - Taylor Kitsch
Taylor Kitsch (John Carter, Lone Survivor)
Hal Jordan won't become Green Lantern in this movie but Music Meister will pursue him as he's the best pilot in the world. Hal will resist the mind control with only sheer willpower setting up a reason for why the ring will pick him. Taylor Kitsch is a talented actor who looks the part and would do the role justice after Ryan Reynolds attempt (we all still have nightmares). I originally thought Evan Peters was perfect but he just now doesn't fit as much (and he's already Quicksilver).
Captain Cold - Wentworth Miller
Wentworth Miller (The Flash, Prison Break)
Miller made Cold my favourite comic character of all time and right now it's "Use Miller or no one at all". I refuse to let him be recast.
Mirror Master - Tim Blake Nelson
Tim Blake Nelson (The Incredible Hulk, Lincoln, Minority Report)
Again, perfect when you think about it. He's had two villain setups, in The Leader (The Incredible Hulk) and in Fan4stic (I don't know who because I never watched it) so I think it's fair he finally gets a Supervillain role (even if it is for DC)
Other Choices: Shawn Ashmore
Poison Ivy - Isla Fisher
Isla Fisher (Now You See Me, Confessions of a Shopaholic)
One of my favourite casts I've ever done. Isla Fisher brings everything you need for Poison Ivy in humour and sexiness.
Other Choices: Jessica Chastain, Bryce Dallas Howard
That's my dream cast for the first Teen Titans Movie. I left out Beast Boy, Superboy, Wonder Girl, Speedy and Kid Flash because in my opinion, they need to be set up first. Like imagine having nothing towards Superboy in any of the Superman movies and then having him appear out of nowhere. I do have castings for these people but I just don't know how they'd fit in (really unfortunately). Anyways thanks for reading!
