Check out our JUSTICE LEAGUE news page for the very latest updates.
At last, AT LAST, some concrete news on the Justice League (hands up who was sick of the constant rumours). Warner Bros have hired casting directors Susan Shopmaker (The Holiday, Mean Girls), Michelle Allen (TV’s sadly cancelled Dead Like Me) and RDC Casting (The Shipping News) in New York, Vancouver and Toronto, respecitively, to cast the Justice League movie.
Confirmation comes via industry audition site Showfax who have multiple roles up for grabs. None of them specify which parts they are, they’re mainly tagged as “Male/Female Option #1, #2″ etc (which I guess means they are small roles or there to hide the names of the characters from online snoopers).
Anyone with a subscription to that site can download those sides and read portions of the film’s script. Of course, we at OWF would not object at all if anyone wanted to get those sides and email them to us!
This is purely speculation, but with calls going out to three cities already (with more to come, I’m sure), this probably means that George Miller is looking to find several unknowns or up and coming actors for the film. If sides for the part of Superman aren’t going out then the Tom Welling rumours could well be true.
The locations of these auditions are also interesting; initially they are taking place in two Canadian cities but in only one in the US. Could this suggest Warners are looking to shoot the movie up in Canada?

how does somebody go aboutattending these casting calls?
“how does somebody go aboutattending these casting calls?”
I’m (couch) casting for Wonder Woman all week. Since your name is Ben I don’t think you’re quite right for the part.
Seriously, I have no idea. You probably need an agent, I doubt they’re open calls.
I WOULD LIKE TO PLAY STATIC SHOCK! OF COURSE IN THE FUTURE SEQUELS FOR JLA
where is the audition at new york i’m interesting playing batman
The sides are not actually from the Justice League script. They are five different sides from different movies like A Few Good Men, Swingers etc. They are more interested in seeing how you can switch between comedic and dramatic. As well, they have asked that we come up with a sad and comedic story from our own experiences. They’re more interested in the actor’s personality and whether they will mesh with an ensemble cast. As well, they are looking for people with solid improv, theatre and comedic skills.
wish me luck.
Good luck escalus! You should shoot me an email. It’d be cool to find out what sort of thing happens in these casting session as a really have no idea. Hit me at - willrowf @ gmail.com (but remove the spaces around “@”)
Well,
Casting for htat movie has started over here in Australia.
So, given that Miller is an Aussie and that producitino costs are almost halved on this side of the Pacific, it might just be shot here!!!
Maybe Josh Hartnett or Matthew Bomer will both play The Dark Knight & The Man of Steel meeting each other in Gotham City. Josh can play Batman as a character similar to Christian Bale’s. Matthew was screen tested to play Superman before Brandon Routh got selected to play The Man of Steel in the 5th Superman sequel “Superman Returns”. Casted by Brett Ratner.
Maybe, if Brett Ratner can direct The Justice League movie. What do everyone think ?
I think that Melina from WWE should be cast as WonderWoman… thanks.
will smith should be green lantern, and catherine zeta jones wonder woman, and chris evens the flash
I think Katherine McPhee would make a good Wonder Woman. She has the captive beauty that WW exudes. She also has the wholesome factor about her. If she does get the part, I feel Jaclyn Smith should play her mother. The 2 of them look nearly identical outside of their ages of course. If this movie is going to go for the “unlimited” version look, I think Triple H, of the WWE, is perfect for Aquaman.
I think angelina Jolie looks exactly like JLA’S Wonderwoman..So she def should play her or Jessica Beil..
If batman and Superman Aren’t in the movie it’s going to flop..I kinda already have a bad feeling about the movie but my hopes are high
I think Wesley Snipes would be a better Green Lantern. Just based on John Stewart’s personality.
I’m also interested in auditioning for the movie. Please give any info on casting calls that you may have.
Judging by the auditions are held in Vancouver, this could be a strong indication that Mr Welling could be up for the role, since this is were they film a lot of Smallville, not to mention the lad deserves to take the role of Clark into the Adult years after his efforts as the young Clark Kent !!!! This movie would slide nicely off the back of Smallville.
Rich Clark.
I read somewhere that catherine zeta-jones is perfect for wonderwoman, and I completely agree with that person. As for superman, I don’t think they should cast Brandon Routh bec. he’s not exactly “leader material.” They should go look for 35+ year old actors, as maturity is an important factor. I hope they don’t mess this up, I love JL very much :) (also, WHERE IS HAWKGIRL? I’d love to watch her and John together). Still sad that JL Unlimited has ended…
Jessica Biel ,IMHO, would be perfect for Wonder Woman. Body and attitude - there is no better choice. As for the others - I totally agree w/ the the poster who said maturity is of utmost importance, here…I hope we don’t have to see yet another version of the WB Not-Ready_For-Prime-Time superhero kiddies…I couldn’t bear it.
Jessica Biel and Angelina Jolie are both good choices for Wonder Woman. But I was watching a re-run of Star Trek Voyager, and the one I pick to be the Amazon Princess is Gerry Ryan (Seven of Nine) if she can look that fantastic in that outfit just imagine how she would be able to fill in Wonder Womans Costume.
My name is Bruce Jackson and I think I would fit the role of The Green Lantern. To check
out my pictures go to http://www.myspace.com/puffedoutent if anyone that reads this is doing a
casting call. I have experience working in a movie right now called Time Saver if you are
not the casting please forward to the casting personnel.Here is my email for further
remittance, puffedou_tent@yahoo.com if you cannot view my pics or need more
information. Will do the part cheap Thank You.
id like to see the black canary in it the way they did her in smallville was cool
you guys are dorks
Wot a shame.
I’ll probably go and see it anyway because of my love for the characters but i have a feeling that is how they will get everyone in the seats.
Im expecting to come out of the cinema feeling cheated.
Extend the Superman and Batman stories so they are established. Start Green Lantern and Flash stories etc so everyone will know what everyone it is about. Marvel Style!! Then bring the thunder of the Justice League even if it does mean casting a new Batman and Superman for it.
WB/DC, do it right. Please!!!!
hi hellow i´m really interesting about the cast or any information about the new movie of the justice league so please if you know something about it can you send me a e-mail please penelope_-2006@hotmail.com
I really hope the Comic Con rumors about Noush Skaugen for Wonder Woman are true. Still an unknown with only one feature and has the physique for the role. Not entirely unlikely then.
hi my name is Dria. I have long, natural jet black hair and I am of Puerto Rican, Romanian, and French Caymanian (Grand Cayman Islands). I am always mistaken for being Greek and I am always told on the streets by random ppl that I look exactly like wonder woman!! I am actually a model and aspiring actress and have exceptional experience behind the camera. as a young girl I was in gymnastics, ballet, tap and basketball. I am extremly athletic and flexible with very very toned legs, like wonder woman. I am very well spoken and mature (if you can’t tell) and I really would like to be considered for the role. if anyone has any information please do not hesitate to contact me: Dria_Emanuel@hotmail.com. I think wonder woman needs a fresh face that represents her as she was seen to many growing up in DC comics. the fans would very much appreciate that.
plz take a look..

I really want to be apart of this movie whether its a supporting or movie extra role. I’m in Dallas, Tx. Just let me know what I need to do.
cool! real life movie of JLA, for me its brandon R. for superman,christian bale for batman,josh harnett or ryan reynolds for flash,green lantern…ah maybe samuel jackson if its john stewart ’cause he kinda look like samuel in the cartoon show, wonder woman….maybe its jessica beil
Thomas John Patrick Welling shoud be Superman for the new Justice League ‘Reborn’. He has earned it and people know him.
Batman needs to be the older, well seasoned pro of the group.
Keep the black Green Lantern, John Stewart, but drop all the pretense with him having to be played by a rapper. Get over it.
Sophia Bush as a possible Wonder Woman? Yet by all accounts Priyanka Chopra has the voice, the vision and the look. Wonder Woman hs to be exsotic, not American.
Brandon Routh as the Flash, not as Superman. Think about it?
Hugh Keays-Byrne will play The Martian Manhunter. O.k..
Now what you have to ask yourself is, Hawk Girl, Green Arrow or Aquaman?
if somebody read it write me? b.e.k.a@posta.ge
