Forget baseball, casting the Doc Savage movie has been America’s popular pastime in the Man of Bronze newsgroups over the years. Why not get the ball rolling again?
IGN Movies offers up its suggestion for the Man of Bronze in the latest Columbia possibility.
Without further ado, here are IGN’s picks (in alphabetical order) and the actors’ recent roles:
- Gerard Butler, Leonidas in 300
- Daniel Craig, Bond, James Bond
- Matt Damon, the Jason Bourne trilogy
- Jon Hamm, Don Draper on Mad Men
- Chris Hemsworth, Capt. George Krik (James T. Kirk’s father) in 2009’s Star Trek and Thor in the upcoming movies Thor and The Avengers
- Hugh Jackman, Wolverine in the X-Men movies
- Thomas Jane, Frank Castle in 2004’s The Punisher
- Dwayne Johnson, Tooth Fairy, The Mummy Returns and a lot of wrestling shows (a frequent suggestion in online discussions)
- Matthew McConaughey, Tropic Thunder, We Are Marshall and Dirk Pitt in Sahara
- Brad Pitt, Inglourious Basterds and Achilles in Troy
- Mark Valley, TV’s Fringe and Human Target (That’s him pictured above left.)
- Sam Worthington, Avatar and the upcoming Clash of the Titans remake
Some interesting choices.
