Let me know what you think & any other choices you have.
1. Ryan Gosling
Actor | Blue Valentine
Born Ryan Thomas Gosling on November 12, 1980, in London, Ontario, Canada, he is the son of Donna (Wilson), a secretary, and Thomas Ray Gosling, a traveling salesman. Ryan was the second of their two children, with an older sister, Mandi. His ancestry is French-Canadian, as well as English, ...
Matt Murdock/Daredevil
After seeing Fracture & Drive I combined the characters & saw Gosling as Matt Murdock & thought it was perfect.
2. Denzel Washington
Actor | Fences
Denzel Hayes Washington, Jr. was born on December 28, 1954 in Mount Vernon, New York. He is the middle of three children of a beautician mother, Lennis, from Georgia, and a Pentecostal minister father, Denzel Washington, Sr., from Virginia. After graduating from high school, Denzel enrolled at ...
Lex Luthor
Just picture it... Perfection.
3. Alan Ritchson
Actor | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Alan Ritchson has carved a space for himself on both the large and small screens since he made the trek from a small town in Florida to Los Angeles.
Alan Michael Ritchson was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Vickie (Harrell), a high school teacher, and David Ritchson, a U.S. Air Force Chief ...
Wade Wilson/Deadpool
I first saw him in Blue Mountain State & thought he was hilarious then realised how good he'd be as Deadpool. He's also so far the only good thing about Michael Bay's Ninja Turtles film.
4. Eddie Cibrian
Actor | The Cave
Eddie Cibrian was born on June 16, 1973 in Burbank, California, USA. He is an actor, known for The Cave (2005), The Best Man Holiday (2013) and Sunset Beach (1997). He has been married to LeAnn Rimes since April 22, 2011. He was previously married to Brandi Glanville.
Bruce Wayne/Batman
To me he just looks like Bruce Wayne.
5. Kevin Zegers
Actor | Transamerica
Kevin Joseph Zegers started acting at the tender age of six. He has starred in more than 40 films, including Air Bud (1997), Dawn of the Dead (2004), and Transamerica (2005), and has also appeared in several modeling campaigns.
Kevin was born in Woodstock, Ontario, to Mary-Ellen (Veldman), a teacher...
Remy LeBeau/Gambit
Taylor Kitsch was alright, like Ryan Reynolds though the script & film was poor & if the characters are to be on screen again, they could do with re-casting.
6. Jason Isaacs
Actor | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Jason Isaacs was born in Liverpool. He studied law at Bristol University but fell in love with the theatre and directed, produced and appeared in dozens of productions there, at the National Student Theatre Festival and at the Edinburgh Festival. He graduated in 1985 but then attended the Royal ...
Norman Osborn/Green Goblin
Seems to be a popular choice for Gobby & I can see why.
7. Yvonne Strahovski
Actress | Stateless
Yvonne Jaqueline Strzechowski was born and raised in Australia. Her parents were Polish immigrants. She attended the Santa Sabina College for her high school education. She then went on to study Performance at the University of Western Sydney's School of Contemporary Arts, graduating in 2003. ...

Just make it happen.

Actor | Love Actually
Bill Nighy is an award-winning British character actor. He was born William Francis Nighy on December 12, 1949 in Caterham, Surrey, England, to Catherine Josephine (Whittaker), a psychiatric nurse from Glasgow, and Alfred Martin Nighy, who was English-born and managed a garage in Croydon.
At school,...
Rocket Racoon (voice obviously)
I've only read one Gardians of the Galaxy comic but I've always imagined RR sounds like Bill Nighy.
9. Ewan McGregor
Actor | Moulin Rouge!
Ewan Gordon McGregor was born on March 31, 1971 in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland, to Carol Diane (Lawson) and James Charles McGregor, both teachers. His uncle is actor Denis Lawson. He was raised in Crieff. At age 16, he left Morrison Academy to join the Perth Repertory Theatre. His parents ...
Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic
Miles Teller... Really? He looks about 15. McGregor would be good, other than him I find it quite hard to find people to play Mister Fantastic.
10. Viggo Mortensen
Actor | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Since his screen debut as a young Amish farmer in Peter Weir's Witness (1985), Viggo Mortensen's career has been marked by a steady string of well-rounded performances.
Mortensen was born in New York City, to Grace Gamble (Atkinson) and Viggo Peter Mortensen, Sr. His father was Danish, his mother ...
Steven Vincent Strange/Doctor Strange
Great actor & I love Doctor Strange. I think it's a little more experimental but I think it'd work.
11. Jamie Foxx
Actor | Collateral
Jamie Foxx is an American actor, singer and comedian. He won an Academy Award for Best Actor, BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, for his work in the biographical film Ray (2004).

Al Simmons/Spawn
Perfect choice plus he wants to play the part
12. Natalie Portman
Actress | Black Swan
Natalie Portman is the first person born in the 1980s to have won the Academy Award for Best Actress (for Black Swan (2010)).
Natalie was born Natalie Hershlag on June 9, 1981, in Jerusalem, Israel. She is the only child of Avner Hershlag, an Israeli-born doctor, and Shelley Stevens, an ...
Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Thought it after seeing V For Vendetta. Not sure if anyone else would agree though.
13. Kit Harington
Actor | Game of Thrones
Kit Harington was born Christopher Catesby Harington in Acton, London, to Deborah Jane (Catesby), a former playwright, and David Richard Harington, a businessman. His mother named him after 16th-century British playwright and poet Christopher Marlowe, whose first name was shortened to Kit, a name ...
Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing
There's something about Kit Harrington that seems heroic. I think he'd be even better in a Star Wars film, perhaps as one of Han Solo's sons.
14. Paul Walker
Actor | The Fast and the Furious
Paul William Walker IV was born in Glendale, California. He grew up together with his brothers, Caleb and Cody, and sisters, Ashlie and Amie. Their parents, Paul William Walker III, a sewer contractor, and Cheryl (Crabtree) Walker, a model, separated around September 2004. His grandfather, William ...
Matt Murdock/Daredevil
Another good candidate for DD.

Gilford, a president of the Hollywood Bar Association, and actress Anne Gwynne. His sister, Katherine Pine, has also acted. Chris's ancestry is Russian Jewish (from ...
Barry Allen/The Flash
Pine needs to be a superhero no matter who it is.

Chris Pine was born in Los Angeles. His parents are actors Robert Pine and Gwynne Gilford, and his maternal grandparents were Max M. Gilford, a president of the Hollywood Bar Association, and actress Anne Gwynne. His sister, Katherine Pine, has also acted. Chris's ancestry is Russian Jewish (from ...
The Joker
On the topic of Chris Pine, I think he'd make a great Joker. This is sure to make a lot of people question me but everyone questioned Heath Ledgers (RIP) casting. If you have doubts check out Smokin' Aces.
17. Daniel Day-Lewis
Actor | There Will Be Blood
Born in London, England, Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis is the second child of Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate of the U.K., and his second wife, actress Jill Balcon. His maternal grandfather was Sir Michael Balcon, an important figure in the history of British cinema and head of the famous Ealing ...
The Joker
Another Joker choice. Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the bet actors ever & I'd never of had this idea if it wasn't for Jake Johnson saying it on twitter.
18. Gabriel Macht
Actor | The Good Shepherd
Gabriel Macht is an American actor. He was born in the Bronx, New York, to Suzanne, a museum curator and archivist, and actor Stephen Macht. Gabriel has three siblings, and moved with his parents to California when he was young.

T'Challa/Black Panther
WHY WAS HE CAST IN GARDIANS OF THE GALAXY?
He's perfect for Black Panther.
20. Scott Caan
Actor | Ocean's Eleven
Scott Caan is the son of tough guy actor James Caan. While it is obvious that he admires tough method actors like Marlon Brando and Sean Penn, Scott also has a strong egalitarian streak, evidenced by his reasoning for baring his body in films. He is quoted as saying that originally only the women ...
James Howlett/Logan/Wolverine
Wolverine is my favourite character ever & although the films haven't fully shown Wolverine yet (The Wolverine comes very close) Hugh Jackman is perfect, the only actor who'd be better IMO is Clint Eastwood. Obviously there will be a sad day when Jackman leaves as Wolverine & Caan is my 1st choice right now.
21. Milo Ventimiglia
Actor | Heroes
Milo Ventimiglia is an American actor, director and producer.
Milo currently stars on the critically acclaimed drama series "This is Us." He has been nominated twice for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (2017 & 2018) and a Critic's Choice Award for Best Actor in a Drama ...
James Howlett/Logan/Wolverine
He'd have to beef up but I'm still not sure.
22. Aidan Turner
Actor | The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Aidan Turner was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1983. After graduating from the Gaiety School of Acting in 2004, Aidan appeared in a number of stage productions, many with Ireland's national theatre, The Abbey.

James Howlett/Logan/Wolverine
Again he'd really have to beef up & I'm still not sure if he'd be right.
