Anne Hathaway would be better for a kick ass character a villain of some kind. Like cat woman or Black cat, plus we already know she looks amazing with white hair.

Spiderman – Tobey Maguire and James Franco switch roles…Franco has the tall lanky build and look that can transcend Peter Parker to Spiderman from Nerd to Stud. Maguire fits the more whiney Harry Osborn persona(reference Spiderman 3…who cried the most?). Franco can also be a badass…check out Annapolis.

Venom – Topher Grace??? Seriously?!?! Eddie Brock was a gym rat who could bench over 700lbs before the symbiote costume and the symbiote played to that strength to create Venom. The idea of Venom was to challenge the idea of Strength vs. Speed. We needed someone(possibly no name) with a build like Vin Diesel or The Rock(not saying they should be venom) to play Venom.

1.) The character’s name is ‘Rogue’, not ‘Rouge’ — she can absorb anyone’s powers, not apply their makeup. As Ransom said, it’s headache inducing.

2.) On a list like this, where you’re naming performers that may be obscure or unfamiliar, a good reader-assist might be to link said actors to their IMDb.com page. As you said in your column about creating a movie blog, sites like IMDb.com, RottenTomatoes, BoxOfficeMojo andight Wikipedia are your friends. If I’m trying to jog my memory about Bridget moynihan, it might help if I were able to remember her as the wooden actress who played Dr. Susan Calvin opposite Will Smith in ‘I, Robot’ — ahe’s got the Jean Grey look in that picture, but I’m still not convinced of her acting chops.

3.) This is an excellent column! As a life-long comic book reader and armchair casting agent, I often play this game myself. Ten or fifteen years ago, I would have picked Marg Helgenberger of ‘C.S.I.’ and ‘Species’ fame as a PERFECT Sue Storm, but yeah, Yvonne Strachovski would do well now. I can only hope that Marvel gets back their FF license, so they can do to the FF what they’ve done for the Hulk.

And Anne Hathaway for MJ? I myself was hoping for someone like Alicia Witt — an actual redhead.

Finally, Angela Bassett was offered the role of Storm in the X-Men movies, but she apparently turned it down (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120903/trivia ) — Michael Biehn was also apparently in consideration for the role of Cyclops when Carolco was thinking about doing X-Men back in the ’90’s. Again, folks, IMDb.com is your friend.

Yeah, I definitely can see Crispin Glover as Edward Nigma (The Riddler) based on his performance in “Willard”.

It depends on which version of Selina Kyle you’re casting, if it’s the brunette one, yes Jolie all the way; however, if it’s the blonde one, I’d go with perhaps, Ali Larter. She conveys that aura of sultry and innocent…that I can see in Catwoman as she toys with Batman, then be the innocent Kyle to Wayne.

Rogue, I see more up Charisma Carpenter’s alley. You put that white streak in her hair and the southern accent…she’s acted tough, bitchy, funny, and lonely…I think she’d nail it.

Well, I always believed the Spidey films should have started with Gwen in the first place, Gwen was the girl next door type, which I believe would be a better fit for Dunst…the bridge scene would be perfect because her character dies there. MJ, I can definitely envision Hathaway.

Maguire was a perfect Parker, but a second rate Spidey, I always believed Nicholas Brendon could have pulled it off better as far as the Spider-Man, wise-cracking smartmouthing to the villains that Maguire couldn’t pull off.

While I liked Topher Grace as Eddie Brock…he should not have become Venom until Spidey 4…in order to flesh the character out and also, the Venom suit should have been way bulkier..giving the illusion of a massive body…like in Ultimate Spider-Man.

Have to disagree with Afleck as Matt, if you ever watch the Director’s Cut…it’s way better…it focuses a lot let on the love story and more on Matt/Daredevil evolution into the non-lethal crimefighter he becomes.

While not an American comic, I completely dislike the idea of Justin Chatwin as Goku, after watching a Discovery channel special, and XMA…Matt Mullins would be better.

Also, Ghost Rider could have been way better, if they kept the younger version of Blaze and cast a different actress as Roxanne…with a darker, grittier feel, it would have been great.
