I have no real requirements in the casting of Sue Storm, other than a competent actor. Given how bad Kate Mara and Jessica Alba have been, we need to put a little bit of thought into this one.
Natalie Dormer
Pros
- Relatively unknown for the blockbuster environment.
- Her casting would be seen as a “prestige” casting.
Cons
- She may lack the star power to draw an audience to the movie.
Olivia Wilde
Pros
- While being a brand name, hasn’t really broken into the blockbuster realm.
- Is experienced in the sci-fi genre.
Cons
- No guarantee in box office returns if cast
Gina Rodriguez
Pros
- Name recognition from her recently spell on “Jane the Virgin”
- Would be an excellent diverse casting choice.
Cons
- Casting could prove divisive.
- Not proven at this level.
Arielle Kebbel
Pros
- Young enough to play the role for many years
Cons
- Probably asking yourself “WHO?!”
- Only known for TV roles
What do you think of the options I have put out there? Do you have any options of your own that you could see as SUE STORM?
