As for Casting?

NORTHSTAR and AURORA - First, they'd HAVE to be at least Francophone Canadians or Quebecois fans would declare war on the world. Next, they should both be young, drop-dead gorgeous, slightly inappropriately sexualized and divafied. I'd go with Theirry Pepin...

and Emmanuelle Vaugier...


MARRINA – I'd cast her as quite young and Asian. Stereotypically demure -- then, in the third act, I’d give her a showcase scene that completely steals the movie! I’ve no actress in mind, but I’m thinking someone along the lines of Japanese model Yoko Ogura...


SHAMAN – An older, wiser type who has little tolerance for all these strange, superhero white folk ...but someone who could also poke fun at his stereotype with a dry wit. I’m thinking Graham Greene...


SNOWBIRD – Also aloof to everyone but Shaman. And a bit creepy. An odd beauty with great presence, because I’d give her a bare minimum spoken lines. I can’t think of a Canadian, so maybe Tilda Swinton?


PUCK – Uh… I’m lost on this one. But I’d play him a lot less nice than the books’ character. He’d be a cigar-smoking jerk, somewhat like Logan/Wolverine.

GAURDIAN – Trash character. The only cool thing about him was his costume. I’d cast him here only as a former member, who now operates as their brain and their Department H liaison. (Maybe he suffered some tremendous physical or emotional loss in the field and has lost his heart.) David James Elliot might fit the bill...


SASQUATCH – Tyler Mane is a given, assuming he can handle playing a genius. He’s a huge Canadian redhead...


on the other hand, I like the idea of going completely against the book’s type and tapping a small, cuddly bookish actor like Brit Paul McGann. Neither some young sprite, some spiritualized one-with-the-universe type, nor someone PUCK would be inclined to like, he’d be a sympathetic oddball who’d be the GUARDIAN’s only confidante with regard to concern over political bureaucracy, mutant science, etc....

Jeez, why does every Marvel character's history have to be so messed up?
