In an interview with MTV Robert Rodriguez revealed that they're writing the script right now and hoping to begin filming next year. So let's get started: who's gonna be the most beloved cartoon girl of the future, with the white hair? Here's what I would like to see.


Rachel Bilson


Why She's Our Space Girlfriend: Look at that innocent face and doe-eyes. Bilson knows how to work it sweet and innocent like no other.
Why She's So 20th Century: Slightly dated actor, so she may not get the part. She may be over the whole high-schooler thing as well.

Elisha Cuthbert


Why She's Our Space Girlfriend: She really looks the part.
Why She's So 20th Century: Elisha you're great, but the acting... well, it's not our favorite thing about you.

Alison Lohman


Why She's Our Space Girlfriend: Full package: looks, youth, acting chops — remember her adorable face in Matchstick Men? she can play any age.
Why She's So 20th Century: I really don't have a problem with her as Judy at all, but she may be a tiny bit too old. On the other hand, this is Hollywood.

Selena Gomez:


Why She's Our Space Girlfriend: This is the most likely of the selections: she'll bring in the tweens and teens, plus she's massive pop fodder and is super adorable.
Why She's So 20th Century: She may be too young. I can't imagine a lot of 20 and 30-somethings getting excited about a character from their past being brought to life by someone they don't really know.

Screen Rant is buzzing about a possible Neil Patrick Harris Flash, which we completely support 100% even though we know it will never, ever happen. Why? Because it's a brilliant idea, and because our dreams-coming-true quota was all used up when they cast Christian Bale as John Connor.

But NPH isn't the only blondie with his hand in the Flash pie. According to Think Mcfly Think, Scott Porter is in the racing for the role as well. You may remember Porter as Jason Street, the handicapped quarterback in Friday Night Lights. If Porter gets this role that would mean two FNL stars are now superheroes of sorts, with Taylor Kitsch as Gambit in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

And speaking of Origins, what happened to the Ryan Reynolds as The Flash rumor? I assume gone with his Deadpool casting because, well, why would you want to be The Flash when you could be Deadpool?

While we're really sold on NPH as The Flash we have to toss in a few more members of Hollywood into the mix, and here are our suggestions for the man in the red spandex suit:

Ben Foster:


Why He's A Front Runner: This character actor is just dying for a lead role. He can pull of completely deranged sidekick (3:10 to Yuma) and sweet faced Angel (X-Men). I would love to see Foster put a little heat behind the eyes of The Flash and give him some depth.
Why He'll Lag Behind: He's just not big enough yet to star in a tentpole production, which is sad (and the same fate I forsee Topher Grace being handed for the Venom spin-off).

Ryan Gosling:


Why He's A Front Runner: Women love him (The Notebook) so it will drive the ladies into the theater, plus he has that hero look about him. He'll be cast as a big screen hero yet; Hollywood won't let that chin go to waste.
Why He'll Lag Behind: I could see this opportunity being passed up by Gosling; he's been rumored as so many other heroes before (Green Lantern, anyone?) that he may be sick of the speculation and say, "no thanks" ...which would be a huge mistake.

Leonardo DiCaprio:


Why He's Destined To Don The Skin Tight Unitard: DiCaprio is a much better fit as Venom than as Captain America. Even though you may think he'd never do a movie like this, you could argue that Christian Bale opened the door for more A-listers to take super-roles.
Why He'll Fall Flat On His Big Venom Grin It's still DiCaprio and my money is if he gets this role, he'll phone it in big time cause it's beneath him or something arty like that.

Casey Affleck

Why He's Destined To Don The Skin Tight Unitard: Showed us all he could play crazy in that ridiculous cowboy flick, so now it's his time to shine.
Why He'll Fall Flat On His Big Venom Grin: Does anyone want to see another Affleck movie, even if it is the younger brother?

Sam Witwer:


Why He's Destined To Don The Skin Tight Unitard: He's going to be huge after The Force Unleashed as the secret apprentice. Huge I tell ya, huge. He's already proven that he can play the bad guy, what more do you need? Plus I'd pay to watch this guy read his mail for two hours, he's that good looking.
Why He'll Fall Flat On His Big Venom Grin:Banking pretty hard on the fact that he will become able to carry a film based on a video game is a big risk.

James McAvoy:

Why He's Destined To Don The Skin Tight Unitard: Proved he could do action in Wanted, looks good in action, and is pretty decent actor. So he could pull off the crazy villain thing.
Why He'll Fall Flat On His Big Venom Grin:McAvoy would need to go seriously dark for anyone to take him seriously in this role. I'm still used to seeing him in as the romantic lead, in spite of Wanted.

CHUD is reporting that the Plastic Man script has been done for years. This superhero movie is pretty unbelievable but I don't want it to get made just so I can see some Hollywood hot shot don the bathing suit bottom, lace-up front costume of Plastic Man.

Jason Segel

Why He's Perfect To Fight The Clam: This man knows how to use his body for comedy, he's practically buck naked throughout most of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and it's hilarious.
Why He May Not Be Flexible Enough: This isn't a Segel flaw so much as a Seth Rogen problem. With Rogen making the Green Hornet movie, Segel may be tempted to go in a Rogen direction, I urge him not to.

Alan Tudyk:

Why He's Perfect To Fight The Clam: Tudyk is a wonderful blend of humor and honesty, a perfect combination for a superhero. He totally sells any character he steps into, be it the pilot of Serenity of a gay rehabbing body builder. Tudyk would make you believe the Clam was real, and a force to be feared, but then deliver some quality one-liners.
Why He May Not Be Flexible Enough: How bendy is he really? He may need to take up pilates.

Glenn Howerton

Why He's Perfect To Fight The Clam: Hilarious member of the It's Always Sunny gang. Glenn will sell even the most unbelievable laugh-at-yourself script, which makes him perfect for plastic.
Why He May Not Be Flexible Enough: He may be too unknown to star in a big superhero movie.

Del Toro went on to explain what he knows about Jones and why he connects this character to the actor.

"I think he can do a fantastic job. Ron looks seven feet tall in Hellboy, but he's not. I think we could do that with Doug, but I would love to do it with him. The only vision of the Frankenstein monster I've ever latched onto is Bernie Wrightson's. He's lanky and long, and it's gorgeous in a tragic way. Doug has all of those qualities."

But here's who we'd cast as the monster instead:

David Boreanaz
Why He's A Monster: He's already played a classic monster, why not put the square head to good use and play a soft-sided monster with a soul, or something like that.
Why He Won't Make It Past The Villagers: Boreanaz might have a little too much heart — he's got to be a little destructive after all. I can't imagine him breaking a little girl in two.

Javier Bardem
Why He's A Monster: Bardem is amazingly scary with very little acting. He plays brooding so well and can make you jump out of your seat in a few seconds just with a look and a glance, perfect qualities for a monster.
Why He Won't Make It Past The Villagers: The Spanish part of the monster might be hard to explain if Frankenstein is robbing English graveyards.

Jeremy Irons
Why He's A Monster: On the flip side, Irons is exactly what you'd get if you started mining English graves for spare body parts. His proper attitude could flow nicely with the educated monster, plus he's already got the commanding voice.
Why He Won't Make It Past The Villagers: Too thin.

Ron Perlman
Why He's A Monster: Monster work is Perlman's bread and butter. He's an old pro from playing Big Red to the Beast.
Why He Won't Make It Past The Villagers: Way too obvious of a choice, might need to pass just because it's been done to death.

Ted Danson
Why He's A Monster: Let's put that brow to good work shall we? Just add a couple of bolts to the neck and voila, monster.
Why He Won't Make It Past The Villagers: Might be hard to take Danson seriously. Audience members would be pressed to watch this film with out wondering who was tending bar at Cheers?
