Lots of the central stars within the AI trailer had been main names within the Nineteen Nineties. Nonetheless, there are additionally some really stunning selections, particularly in relation to the supporting solid. Take into account Vin Diesel enjoying Black Adam. That is seemingly a cheeky reference to Diesel’s feud with Dwayne Johnson (who performs the character in “Black Adam”) because the Quick and the Livid franchise star wasn’t precisely a family identify within the Nineteen Nineties. Diesel’s “Saving Non-public Ryan” co-star Matt Damon can also be an impressed option to play Robin, as he spent the Nineteen Nineties making motion pictures like “Good Will Looking” and “The Gifted Mr. Ripley” as a substitute of the extra action-oriented roles he began taking within the 2000s. Your mileage can also differ about “Buddies”-era Jennifer Aniston as Harley Quinn, bona fide star Uma Thurman because the comparatively minor character Huntress, or Richard Gere as John Constantine.
However, there are roles that the trailer completely nails. Christopher Lee would have made a really imposing Alfred Pennyworth. Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze, Winona Ryder, and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” star Sarah Michelle Gellar are fairly neat selections as Nightwing, Inexperienced Arrow, Batgirl, and Black Canary, respectively. Russell Crowe’s Hawkman would primarily be his “Gladiator” character with wings, whereas Sean Connery as Superman’s dad Jor-El could be a enjoyable tackle Connery and Cage’s dynamic in “The Rock.”
Maybe probably the most attention-grabbing selections the trailer makes are the principle villains. Primarily based on his flip as Inexperienced Goblin alone, it is in all probability protected to say that Willem Dafoe because the Joker could be terrifying … as would John Malkovich as Lex Luthor.
