Adam McKay has Confirmed he is Directing




he also confirms a Rated R Rating and comparisons to Watchmen


and also said he Wants Simon Pegg in the movie since Wee Hughie was drawn after him

My dream cast has this so far (from the comic thread)
Butcher: Gerard Butler
Wee Hughie: Simon Pegg
The Female: Yeah... I'm having trouble with this one
The Frenchman: Jackie Earle Haley (Not sure why, but I think he'd do pretty good with this character)
Mother's Milk: Dennis Haysbert (You Americans know him as the Allstate guy)
The Legend: Danny Devito
The Homelander: Nathan Fillion (even though he has been cast as Antman)
Queen Maeve: Julianne Moore
Black Noir: Doens't matter because he only has two words in the entire 40+ issues
The Deep: _____________________
A-Train: I'm probably going to get some flack for this... NPH. think he would be very good in this part
Jack from Jupiter: It will probably just be a voice role, so I want Kevin Conroy
Starlight: ____________________I actually think a young reese witherspoon would have kicked ass as Starlight, now she is too old for the part.

my suggested casting :

I think the female is a teenager and I think that clive owen should be butcher

clive owen does not have that super hero look imo

butler has very similar characteristics to butcher imo

super hero look
charming good looks
ass hole vibe
physique

Agreed

yeah about the female, i think both Owen and Butler could pull off the butcher, and also Michael Duncan is too old for MM,

yeah i just have not seen a solid actor who has MM build other than Duncan

Dennis Haysbert (The Allstate guy)

He was also president palmer on "24"

And fun fact, he voiced Kilowog on the JL TV show

Well, Chris Evans bulked up qute a bit for Cap, I think Haysbert could bulk up/fill out a bit

Well, presumably there would be two franchises going on at one time, which could be quite a bit for an actor, especially if he wants to branch out and do other stuff

true, i guess it depends on whether he is a comic fan, ryan reynolds seems to be happy being green lantern and moving forward being deadpool.
