Maybe one thing you could do with Jenny is have it be that once their century ends, they resume aging like normal, so that could justify a slightly older actress as she's now aged to be biologically 35-40 despite being 120 years old
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe set the first movie or two in the 90s and then she starts aging as this big dramatic thing. Perhaps they even think she'll die on new years, and her starting aging again is a big twist.
And you can also let exist Jenny quantum as a daughter for Midnighter and Apollo, the contrast with them on the battlefield and them at home could be exemplified by the love to their daughter.
I was also thinking maybe Quantum hasn't been born yet and Sparks doesn't know why, she's been waiting and expecting to die for the last 20 years which has fueled her cynical and perhaps more aggressive brand of justice and maybe as Supes manages to change her perspective and she's ready to start living again, Quantum is born and Sparks passes at the end of the movie for that emotional gut punch?
No Karen gillian for Jenny? Shes a Gunn friend, shes from the U.K. And she can definitely pull off cynicism and toughness. And shes got that look that seems both youthful and aged at the same time somehow.
My theory for the Authority is that they’ll be introduced in Superman Legacy, get their own movie to flesh them out a bit and then we’ll get a Superman vs The Elite type story with them taking the Elite’s place
I can kind of see how James Gunn may be building towards Kingdom Come, with The Authority and The Elite leading the escalation of violent heroes to Magog and the rest of those characters. I’m excited to see if that actually happens, ‘cause it’d be so cool to see in live action.
That'd be cool, but the main problem is that kingdom come is basically the end of the DCU, so we probably won't get a live action adaptation of it, unless it's in another universe.
Actually word around has it that in the Gunnverse they're trying to do a Superman vs The Elite movie but replacing them with The Authority (as the Elite are based/pastiches of the Authority) on the whole "Superman's old school morals are obsolete in this violent modern world"
I think this universe might actually be a reverse kingdom come. And have superheros before superman be extremely violent and in some cases murders, but after superman heros will be more heroic and optimistic and against killing
I had no idea about this team beforehand, but the way you describe Jack Hawksmoor feels like Jon Bernthal to me. his physicality and intensity in Punisher feels like Jack, and I feel like he could nail the gritty dad aspect
Grifter is actually Redhood mixed with Gambit, with a little Mavrick thrown in. (Because Jim Lee really likes trench coats and guns, and doesn’t like drawing noses)
Luke Evans and Lee Pace nails it…superb choices. Luke MacFarlane is also a great choice for Midnighter. You should see him in Killjoys, great action and at times menacing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎
A Daniel Kaluuya Hawksmoore would be really interesting. If so, I'd love it if they started him off as the Spirit of Liverpool. I want a whole SpiderPunk movie someday.
I hope you eventually get to casting a Batman, I feel it is quite hard considering Gunn is looking for someone around the age of Superman but not as young
@@Markcrazeer I don't think a recast of those is necessary. I think those casts are terrific, they just need a Batman around his mid to late 30's so it all falls into place
For Jenny Sparks, there's also the version from the recent reboot, The Wild Storm. She's over 100 years old and has powers tied to whatever the current technological trends are. She can jump into or out of phones or television screens and travel through the internet. She's kind of a combination of Sparks and Quantum and has a pretty unique powerset that's never really been done before, which is a huge plus in this industry. I think it would be pretty neat to see this version in live action.
Jenny Quantum became Jenny Quark for a while in the comic books so you may still have your rhythm. As for fancasting Midnighter and Apollo, I’ve been doing it for 20 years (in my head) and none of the choices hit me as hard as Pace and Evans. Is it perfect? No. Is it better than seeing countless posts on twitter casting willowy 20-something as men that are meant to be Middle Aged and built like brick houses? By far. I’d be very happy if these were the choices.
Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I have a feeling the Authority could change superhero movies in the same way the Authority changed the landscape of superhero comics in the 2000s. An Authority movie has been needed for years, and maybe now is the right time.
The Authority can really do the best of the Boys series and high concept sci-fi in a film and put some real shake-up into the current comic movies direction.
@@fernanoctopus7457 if you put James Gunn behind the authority, I'll say it has a chance. Gotg came out 2014, thanks to the giant success of the mcu up to that point the movie had audience interest purely by association. Gunn is also phenomenal at what he does, he strikes the perfect balance between serious and comedy. Put Gunn behind any project he's passionate about and the result will be gold
@@canamrocka lot of people keep calling them DCs version of The Boys but aside from being brutal when needed i dont really see it. Theyre not really secret psychopaths and serial murderers of innocents like characters in The Seven are, they actually DO want to help innocent people. I guess theyre a bit edgy like the boys but not in the same way.
What if they approach Jenny Sparks differently. Make her be played by an old actress, she doesn’t die after the year 2000 but she loses more power as the years pass by. She could become an adversary turned mentor figure to a young Superman (like Yondu in Guardians). She still gets the responsible yet spunky characteristic but with the weight of aging, imagine what could happen if we continue Steve Rogers post-end game (which would have been an interesting watch).
I hope they pull some of the fresh ideas introduced in The Wild Storm by Warren Ellis. It was such a fun fresh take on all of the Wildstorm characters. I liked the idea of Jenny Sparks as the earth’s defense system, with The Doctor as the earth’s repair system.
I feel like Jonathan Groff should have been part of the Midnighter/Apollo discussion - but super solid choices as always though! Jodie Comer as Jenny is spot on!
An essential read for Jenny Sparks is the Stormwatch three-part arc "Change or Die," (Stormwatch Vol. 1 Issues 48-50) where Stormwatch runs up against a very Justice League/Society style group of superpowered individuals attempting to rapidly and massively change human society (and are in-universe Jenny's inspiration for forming The Authority). A key anchor of that story is Jenny's past relationship with the leader/figurehead of the other team, an explicit Superman clone called "The High." I don't think this will happen, but it would be incredibly fun if Gunn leaned into this story and gave Jenny and Superman a similar relationship as Jenny did with The High, maybe even reversing the roles so Superman has Jenny's role in "Change or Die" and Jenny has The High's role of leading a powerful group of supers attempting to change the world. And "Change or Die" is a great story period.
I really hope they get Jack's unique physicality right! Punching and kicking faces right off the bad guys and his acrobatic agility should play well if done right!
I’m not familiar with the comics so I don’t know how much this would mess with the canon, but I think the “adapting Jenny” problem could be fixed by making her technology-based rather than electricity-based. Jenny being the spirit of the 21st century as a younger millennial/Gen Zer who influences people and the world through social media in a Black Mirror-y way would be cool. As for casting, Georgia Hirst seems perfect IMO.
This is phenomenal fan casting- might be my favorite fan casting you've done so far! Lee Pace and Luke Evans as Apollo and Midnighter feels like PERFECTION??
Ok, so I was going to propose to just reinterpret Jenny as a spirit of 21 Century but just make her powers tie to something electronic but still tie to the era, and I thought the best way to do this is to make it about cyberspace aka, internet/social media. But to my surprise DC actually already did what I was thinking. They made the Wild Storm reboot series in 2017 when they introduce a rebooted version of Jenny, now called Jenny Mei Sparks who seems to be sort of amalgam of both Sparks and Quanton, and yes and she's now a spirit of the internet called "techne". So, she could be used for the Authority movie.
Speaking of Daisy Ridley someone put her in a Catwomen mask and her big eyes and giant smile made me want that to happen immediately also she wouldn’t be a bad Talia Al Ghul either for the new Brave and the Bold!👍🏼🐈🐉
I think Matt Boomer would also be a great Midnighter, although he already is in Doom Patrol, I doubt that is in the DCEU, and you barley see him. He plays crazy well as seen in his role in The Nice Guys, he’s great in Doom Patrol, he’s very charming too.
Jenny Sparks could be called something like "The Spirit of the Modern Era". Covers the 20th century, but can just bleed into now without feeling too odd.
for the live action it would be interesting to see apollo have that more "backseat" attitude. like flare up and get angry, but in a tantrum way. that would be the seed for the midnighter/apollo fights in the comics. give him a new character angle as well.
Maybe for Spiderman video you could make who could be his new friends during college. While it likely that Zendeya will return as Michelle, I feel like it would be interesting to see other charaters that Peter would interact and befriend. Wither they be friends, other heroes or love interest. here would be my top ten charaters I would like to see in a new trilogy. 10) Jean DeWolff 9) Randy Robertson 8) John Jonah Jameson III (Man-Wolf) 7) Martha Franklin 6) Johney Storm (Human Torch) 5) Cindy Moon (Silk) 4) Sophia Sanduval (Chat) 3) Angelica Jones (Firestar) 2) Robert Louis "Bobby" Drake (Iceman) 1) Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat)
My prediciton, Waller - Amanda Waller creates Stormwatch led by Manchester Black. Superman Legacy - Stormwatch goes too far and is taken down by Superman. The Authority - Jenny Sparks reforms the team as the Authority without government oversight and they get start getting even more nuts. Maybe even have Jenny sacrifice herself at the end and Jack takes over putting them on a new path. Lanterns - The Lanterns meet the Authority members possibly having Hawkgirl take the place of Swift to establish the Hawkgirl John Stewart relationship. And finally after all this we get a Justice League vs The Authority Movie based on Justice League New World Order. I think Apollo and Midnighter are especially well suited for that comics story which I won't spoil. But all of this would make for an amazing over arching story.Maybe even have Jenny die and Jack takes over
Can you please do some kind of video on the phonetics of superhero names? Because that section of this video blew my mind, and I need answers on that incredible correlation.
So... Midnighter is a mentat? I mean... His brain works like a a super computer that can calculate the outcome of future events, right? Just like a mentat!
Yup. I was thinking Luke Evans since the start of your runthrough. He is a bit on the old side though. Hard to do more than one movie with him without him aging out of the physicality of it.
I can’t believe we had the same picks for two of these (Midnighter and Jenny Sparks) and my picks for Jack Hawksmoor (Joel Egerton) and Apollo (Matt Bomer) were in your runner up lists. I love the pick of Lee Pace as Apollo by the way. Great video. Can’t wait to see who you cast as the rest of the team!
Colman Domingo as Apollo would be pretty fire. Him with Luke Evans would ve intimidating af lol. Lee Pace is also a great choice. Joel Edgerton, Daniel Kaluuya, Lakeith Stanfield or Justin Thureux would all be great as Jack. Or a more nuanced Lex Luther.
Luke Evans is a great choice. I'm beginning to realize that I care way more about 'The Authority' than I should, and I'm in danger of becoming one of those embarrassing, belligerent fanboys.
Thankfully, movie Jenny Sparks will not be a smoker. She'll just have to be tough and have an attitude. The days where smoking is shorthand for cool and tough are thankfully over.
I understand why James Gunn chose this team of superheroes. It's team member all have messed up personalities that will make up for interesting storytelling similar to other James Gunn projects like gotg and the suicide squad🎉
My picks: Luke Evans as Midnighter Halle Bailey as the Engineer Jack Quiad as the Doctor Gemma Chan as Swift Matt Bomer as Apollo John David Washington as Jack Hawksmoor Saoirse Ronan as Jenny Sparks
You left off one option... she could be Jenny Sparks, spirit of the 20th century who has give up her title and began aging again at 2000 (instead of dying). This would let you cast a mid 40s actress (a criminally underrepresented demographic). I do think that the Authority will be a mix of characters rather than a direct port of the crew from the Authority v Superman comic... I hope you talk more about the characters that might replace Wildstorm characters for better recognition (like Midnight might get dropped in favor of a different character just to avoid the Batman comparisons for example... though I think that's unlikely).
I'm thinking that Superman Legacy will have Hawksmoor as the villian, and then the Authority film will take place in the past with Jenny as the leader, having her die at the end of the first film
19:55 idk about Midnighter and Apollo being around before Superman, I’d like to imagine that Apollo was a Superman fanboy which is why his suit is so similar to Clark’s and his willingness to go through the experiments that gave him his powers
Maybe one thing you could do with Jenny is have it be that once their century ends, they resume aging like normal, so that could justify a slightly older actress as she's now aged to be biologically 35-40 despite being 120 years old

I wish I scrolled down literally 2 comments before posting mine lol. I had the same idea.
I was thinking Matt Bomer as Apollo and Zachary Quinto as Midnighter, but I like your casting.
Zachary Quinto could nail the “smile-while-killing” and slick confidence
@@newonyarb3562 Came here to basically say the exact same thing, he'd be great
Absolutely Zachary Quinto as Midnighter!!! FTW!!!!
@@newonyarb3562 Exactly, him in the 47 movie is a shiny point and exactly what you are describing.
Jack's superpower sounds really cool and I'm sure James Gunn can find a way to use his powers in mind-blowing ways. This is really exciting stuff.
th-cam.com/video/4WHcBlENODg/w-d-xo.html
He really is a fascinating character, I hope they do right by him!
Can you imagine if Midnighter and Apollo were played by Ben Afflec and Henry Cavil
Ugh
I mean that'd be a terrible idea but I'd love it. Cavill already works in a white wig lol
😂
Horrible casting ☠️
They won't play them. They just won't. Why play knockoff versions of characters they could've played.
No Karen gillian for Jenny? Shes a Gunn friend, shes from the U.K. And she can definitely pull off cynicism and toughness. And shes got that look that seems both youthful and aged at the same time somehow.
Absolutley
And because she's been in full costume for her biggest role, her face isn't too common on the screen.
I don’t see it at all tbh
My theory for the Authority is that they’ll be introduced in Superman Legacy, get their own movie to flesh them out a bit and then we’ll get a Superman vs The Elite type story with them taking the Elite’s place

@@uncannydcmarvelous5732Considering the Authority movie comes out after Superman Legacy, I wonder how that'd work.
@MrBazBake it could either be a sequal to superman, or they could be the villian of legacy and at the end have them become more heroic
I think this universe might actually be a reverse kingdom come. And have superheros before superman be extremely violent and in some cases murders, but after superman heros will be more heroic and optimistic and against killing
Lee Pace and Luke Evans as Apollo and Midnighter is CHEF’s KISS. Kaluuya as Hawksmore would rock it.
Facts I agree with all casting choices .
I had no idea about this team beforehand, but the way you describe Jack Hawksmoor feels like Jon Bernthal to me. his physicality and intensity in Punisher feels like Jack, and I feel like he could nail the gritty dad aspect
It feels too on the nose tho
“‘meask you sumn” - jack hawksmoor
Im down with John Henry actually!
th-cam.com/video/4WHcBlENODg/w-d-xo.html
I think, given the popularity and potential return of many of the Marvel characters, seems like Nando skipped those options.
Grifter is actually Redhood mixed with Gambit, with a little Mavrick thrown in. (Because Jim Lee really likes trench coats and guns, and doesn’t like drawing noses)
Grifter is basically Batman,Martian Manhunter,Red Hood,Wolverine,Gambit,Deadpool and Punisher fused together
Grifter was made before redhood
i think tom hardy should play midnighter-- he deserves to be able to kiss a man on screen!!!
He already kissed himself once.
Real
He did that on ''RocknRolla''... he kissed Gerard Butler
I was thinking of him for Apollo actually as an actor that has the charisma to carry a flat character and bring some life to it
Luke Evans and Lee Pace nails it…superb choices. Luke MacFarlane is also a great choice for Midnighter. You should see him in Killjoys, great action and at times menacing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎
It's kinda funny he wanted Matt Bomer to play a Superman type because he actually has played Superman in Superman: Unbound
and was up for superman one time
Luke Evans and Lee Pace... perfection.
Just like the GOTG I never heard of these guys until the movie was announced, hope they can have as strong a debut!
th-cam.com/video/4WHcBlENODg/w-d-xo.html
A Daniel Kaluuya Hawksmoore would be really interesting. If so, I'd love it if they started him off as the Spirit of Liverpool.
I want a whole SpiderPunk movie someday.
I want a Scouse accent 😂😂
I hope you eventually get to casting a Batman, I feel it is quite hard considering Gunn is looking for someone around the age of Superman but not as young
He has cast the entire batfanily before. But he can run a recast video. As long as you Get views.

That kind of sounds like the drummer from planetry. Of couse hes not over 100
Sounds like a more serious/modern take on Freakazoid. I'm in.
I knew Lee Pace would be your pick for Apollo. He is the perfect choice in my book. He’s got the look and the vibe nailed.
Jenny Quantum became Jenny Quark for a while in the comic books so you may still have your rhythm.

I gotta say. This is the one part of Gunn’s universe that makes me nervous. Like The Authority in phase 1?!? With a young Superman??
Crazy that Nando just broke out the PokeRap mid video.
I really hope they get Jack's unique physicality right! Punching and kicking faces right off the bad guys and his acrobatic agility should play well if done right!
Bomer actually for midnighter would be solid with lee pace as apollo
I am a huge Authority fan. I’m so freaking pumped for an Authority Superman movie. It’s pretty much my dream film.
Ever since Gunn announced they were doing this movie ive always been intrigued by it. Now after this video im staring to get pretty hyped for it.
th-cam.com/video/4WHcBlENODg/w-d-xo.html
As soon as The Authority was announced I thought of Emma Mackey as Jenny Sparks.
This is your best casting video yet! Each time you announced your winner, it was a surprise, but also the perfect choice.

Lee Pace in Holt and Catch Fire is fantastic. Huge fan of him and he has played a huge range
I had Bruce Campbell in mind for Midnighter, the glee, insanity and charm et flawlessly projects would be very fitting
Are you still planning on making a video about why you stopped making "one small change" ?
I definitely am
@@NandovMovies Cool. Please don't rush it out or anything, I was just wondering if it's still gonna happen. Keep up the great work! :)
Tbh all the authority members have such awesome character design. I especially like Apollo

While it likely that Zendeya will return as Michelle, I feel like it would be interesting to see other charaters that Peter would interact and befriend. Wither they be friends, other heroes or love interest. here would be my top ten charaters I would like to see in a new trilogy.
10) Jean DeWolff
9) Randy Robertson
8) John Jonah Jameson III (Man-Wolf)
7) Martha Franklin
6) Johney Storm (Human Torch)
5) Cindy Moon (Silk)
4) Sophia Sanduval (Chat)
3) Angelica Jones (Firestar)
2) Robert Louis "Bobby" Drake (Iceman)
1) Kitty Pryde (Shadowcat)
Cindy was already in Homecoming in all of the scenes of the school, but as a normal powerless classmate.
Iceman and Johnny Storm 🙏
Manchester Black should be in the film
Nicholas Hoult should play him
Joseph Gilgun, is the only person who I could see playing him.. he was fire in This is England
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that someone shouted out Pushing Daisies. Loved that show
My prediciton,
Waller - Amanda Waller creates Stormwatch led by Manchester Black.
Superman Legacy - Stormwatch goes too far and is taken down by Superman.
The Authority - Jenny Sparks reforms the team as the Authority without government oversight and they get start getting even more nuts. Maybe even have Jenny sacrifice herself at the end and Jack takes over putting them on a new path.
Lanterns - The Lanterns meet the Authority members possibly having Hawkgirl take the place of Swift to establish the Hawkgirl John Stewart relationship.
And finally after all this we get a Justice League vs The Authority Movie based on Justice League New World Order. I think Apollo and Midnighter are especially well suited for that comics story which I won't spoil. But all of this would make for an amazing over arching story.Maybe even have Jenny die and Jack takes over
jodie comer as Jenny sparks would be goated casting ngl
I'm a urban planner and the concept of Jack's powers is really interesting. Might have to check this comic oit
I don't think the Authority will be the villain in Legacy. They exist and will appear in Legacy but won't be an antagonist.
They'll probably play a similar role to the Illuminati
Love your videos, man. I needed a new channel to binge and ended up watching three of your full length essays last night.
I really liked the brief segue into superhero phonetics. And your explanation of the Authority comics really made me want to check them out.
Wasn’t Apollo in a Netflix superhero show recently
I was thinking of Jupiter’s legacy nvm
Jenny could be the The spirit of technology like they did in 2018 wild storm reboot
Michael Fassbinder as Midnighter , lets ask James Gunn
Can you please do some kind of video on the phonetics of superhero names? Because that section of this video blew my mind, and I need answers on that incredible correlation.
So... Midnighter is a mentat?
I mean... His brain works like a a super computer that can calculate the outcome of future events, right? Just like a mentat!
Sope Dirisu as Hawksmoor would be fantastic.
Hawskmoor as Karl Urban letssggoooo
Matt Bommer has Apollo just work on so many levels for me
Yup. I was thinking Luke Evans since the start of your runthrough. He is a bit on the old side though. Hard to do more than one movie with him without him aging out of the physicality of it.
Haven't you consider Babs Olusanmokun for the role of Jack. I love him in Strange New Worlds
For some self-indulgent reason, I'm doing a running commentary after each choice.
Lee Pace is a very cool choice.
I have a feeling we'll see some of the Elite characters in the Authority.
I can’t believe we had the same picks for two of these (Midnighter and Jenny Sparks) and my picks for Jack Hawksmoor (Joel Egerton) and Apollo (Matt Bomer) were in your runner up lists.

I'm beginning to realize that I care way more about 'The Authority' than I should, and I'm in danger of becoming one of those embarrassing, belligerent fanboys.
Your two favorite Apollos went to high school together.
Thankfully, movie Jenny Sparks will not be a smoker. She'll just have to be tough and have an attitude. The days where smoking is shorthand for cool and tough are thankfully over.
I understand why James Gunn chose this team of superheroes. It's team member all have messed up personalities that will make up for interesting storytelling similar to other James Gunn projects like gotg and the suicide squad🎉
Idris Elba could play Jack. He’s older, more grizzled and noir-like. He’s also worked with James before, which is always a plus.
But he plays Bloodsport.
I suppose it depends on if Gunn is keeping The Suicide Squad as cannon
@@ДимчоДимов-ж7е mm, in the old DCU. I doubt he’ll be referenced again. His character arc wrapped up well in that movie
In saying that, happy for Amanda Waller to stay the same
Karl Urban and Anthony Starr as Midnighter and Apollo or vice versa please I don’t care if they’re straight or whatever I need them together 😂
Someone unknown and cheap so they can stop spending three hundred million dollars on their movies.
My picks:
Luke Evans as Midnighter
Halle Bailey as the Engineer
Jack Quiad as the Doctor
Gemma Chan as Swift
Matt Bomer as Apollo
John David Washington as Jack Hawksmoor
Saoirse Ronan as Jenny Sparks
Sheesh you would be a great casting director.
You left off one option... she could be Jenny Sparks, spirit of the 20th century who has give up her title and began aging again at 2000 (instead of dying). This would let you cast a mid 40s actress (a criminally underrepresented demographic).
I do think that the Authority will be a mix of characters rather than a direct port of the crew from the Authority v Superman comic... I hope you talk more about the characters that might replace Wildstorm characters for better recognition (like Midnight might get dropped in favor of a different character just to avoid the Batman comparisons for example... though I think that's unlikely).
plz do pitches for gen v and the boys season 4
I would love a fancasting video about Wonder Woman and the other Amazons and side characters, maybe a couple villains.
I'm thinking that Superman Legacy will have Hawksmoor as the villian, and then the Authority film will take place in the past with Jenny as the leader, having her die at the end of the first film
My pitch Henry Cavill as Apollo and Chris Evans as Midnighter
like anything made in any decade it is what the authors made. decades dont make things. bad a-- isn't just a 90's expression.
I could see them replacing Jenny with live wire
That'd be like replacing Superman with The riddler.
@@Carabas72 not really
@@jacksonsanders2470
It would be replacing an extremely powerful hero with an average villain.
It's not the suicide squad
They killed leader of country during the Sparks years
I’m still going to advocate for Vin Diesel Lex Luthor..
19:55 idk about Midnighter and Apollo being around before Superman, I’d like to imagine that Apollo was a Superman fanboy which is why his suit is so similar to Clark’s and his willingness to go through the experiments that gave him his powers
why does the nando's pic of Jack Hawksmoor looks exactly like Rufus Sewell
i know thats not what this vif is but lakeith would go crazy as kang
17:56 bro look at that shot, it's gotta be Billy Butcher himself, Karl Urban.
33:44 would you look at that
