Recasting Superhero Movies


In case you missed it, the good people over at Pajiba recently posted an article where they recast the future superhero movies with vintage hollywood actors. Their picks are pretty spot on, I especially liked Orson Welles as Lex Luthor. I thought I'd expand on the idea an recast two more of the superhero movies, this time with vintage international actors. Take a look.
