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.



Iron Man

Tony Stark- Marcello Mastroianni (8 1/2, Divorce Italian Style)

Pepper Potts- Jeanne Moreau (Jules and Jim, La Notte)


Rhodey- Jean Paul Belmondo (Breathless, Pierrot Le Fou)


Thor

Thor- Jean Gabin (Grand Illusion, La Bete humaine)



Jane Foster- Anna Karina (Band of Outsiders, A Woman is A Woman)



Loki- Anatoli Solonitsyn (Anrei Roblev, The Mirror)


Spiderman

Peter Parker- Jean-Pierre Leaud (400 Blows, Masculin Feminin)



Gwen Stacy- Harriet Andersson (Sawdust and Tinsel, Smiles of a Summer Night)



Lizard- Michel Piccoli (Belle de Jour, Le Mepris)



X-Men

Professor X- Takashi Shimura (Seven Samurai, Ikiru)



Magneto- Max von Sydow (The Seventh Seal, The Virgin Spring)



Wolverine- Toshiro Mifune (Yojimbo, Rashomon)



Cyclops- Alain Delon (Rocco and His Brothers, Le Samourai)



Jean Gray- Monica Vitti (L'Avventura, Red Dessert)
