Martian Manhunter DCU Fan Cast and Ideas

My DCU Martian Manhunter Fan Cast and Ideas.

Martian Manhunter will likely be a significant character in the DCU and the character his big screen debut in the Snyder Cut. 

I think the design looked good, and I thought the actor who played him, Harry Lennix did a great job. 

He will likely be recast, or maybe they will keep him on as Martain Manhunter. 

As for the character, I think Gunn should make a show that explains his origins and would be one of the last pieces to set up the Justice League.  

For Showrunner, I would go with Nic Pizzolatto. 

or 

Sam Esmail

First, here is my Fan Cast for a Martian Manhunter TV Series. 

Sterling K. Brown as J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter/Jon Jones  

Dawn Olivieri as M'yri'ah J'onzz 

Carl Lumbly as My'rnn J'onzz 

Michaelle Yeoh as Sha'Sheen J'onnz 

Richard Jenkins as Dr. Saul Eldred 

Julie Stiles as Diana Meade 

Bruce Greenwood as Sy'Rann 

Kirby Howell Baptiste as Helen Demoff 

Sophia Lillis as M'gann M'Orzz 

David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman 

Christopher Judge as Ma'alefa'ak 

So that's my fan cast for a Martian Manhunter TV Series. Here are my ideas for the show. 

8. The series should explore Martian culture on Mars.

J'onn J'onnes's life on mars could be explored on the show and talk about the races of Martians like the white, the red, and the yellow. We see life on Mars in the first few episodes and how their culture and race began. We see Martians' everyday lives until the green Martians' extinction, but we would see white, red, and yellow Martians. 

7. J'onn is the last Green Martian and he has the most tragic storyline out of all the DC characters.

J'onn is the last of his race unless you count relatives. You are half green and white. J'onn lost his whole family and people to H'ronmeer's curse caused by his brother Ma'alefa'ak. J'onn is like Superman, except he had a family and outlived his wife and daughter. J'onn's origin story is sad, and he was saved by a scientist who teleported him to earth. J'onn goes a little insane over the deaths of his family until Dr. Saul helps him. J'onn regains his sanity and decides to help the people of the earth, much like he did as a cop on Mars. A Manhunter, what they call cops on Mars. He then takes the name Jon Jones as his human name and becomes a detective for the city of Middleton.

6. The show is detective sci-fi series. 

The show should be a detective sci-fi series focused on J'onn's work as a policeman on Mars and Earth. We see J'onn show off his detective skills as he is a cop on Mars, but the copes on mars are called Manhunters. 

5. The series would set up Miss Martian.

Miss Martian or Martian Manhunter Girl will be in the show, but not until the last episode, where she makes a cameo. She would play a significant role in season 2 and be a future member of the Titans or Young Justice in future projects. 

4. Ma'alefa'ak would be the villain in the first season.

Ma'alefa'ak would be the first season's main villain, and he would be responsible for the extinction of the Martians of the world. Ma'alefa'ak created the H'ronmeer's curse, but he didn't kill his brother. Ma'alefa'ak would learn that J'onn is alive on earth and seeks to kill him. He's basically the jealous brother who hated how his big brother had better things than him. So he kills his whole race and his family except for J'onn. 

3. Superman would appear at the end of the show setting up Justice League. 

Superman would appear in the show but only in the last episode. He knows about J'onn, and J'onn knows about him too. The two would meet and have much in common, being the last of their race. Clark and J'onn agree to watch each other's back if any future threat comes to the world. J'onn learns of the return of Brainiac and tries to warn Superman of Brainiac's return but is captured. This would set up Justice League.  

2. Martian Manhunter is one of the most powerful superheroes. 

Martian Manhunter is one of the most powerful heroes on earth. He's telepathic, he can change his body to anything, shoot lasers out of his eyes, and turn invisible, but his greatest weakness is fire. We would see how fire is his greatest weakness in the show. 

1. The show sets up Justice League and Darkseid. 

This show sets the stages for Justice League as Martian Manhunter learns of Brainiac's return and his new invasion and sends a distress call to Superman. This would result in the formation of the Justice League being Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (John Stewart,) The Flash, Hawkwoman, and Martian Manhunter. The show also sets up Darkseid as Martain Manhunter's father fought against an invasion of Apokolips a thousand years ago. J'onn knows about Darkseid from the history of mars, and he would warn other heroes of him and be ready when he invades earth. 

That's my Martian Manhunter DCU Fan Cast and Ideas.

Hawkman DCU Movie Fan Cast and Ideas

 

Hawkman DCU Fan Cast and Ideas.

Now after Hawkman, his big screen debut in Black Adam, even though Black Adam wasn't that good. I think they will expand on Hawkman, and I've heard reports there is now a Hawkman movie in the works. 

Aldis Hodge did a great job as Hawkman, and I think he will remain in the DCU and, like Shazam, not be recast. At least I hope they keep him because he was the best character in Black Adam. For a Hawkman film, I think it should be an origin film but set in modern-day times. As well, Hawkgirl will be in the film as Hawkman's wife. As well as other members of the JSA of old and a new team coming.

If I had to pick a director for this film, I would go with either 

Antoine Fuqua

or

Rupert Wyatt

Aldis Hodge as Carter Hall/Hawkman 

Olivia Cooke as Shayera Thal/Hawkwoman 

Avan Jogia as Khalid Nassour/Dr. Fate

Cary Elwes as Alan Scott/The Green Lantern 

Tom Hanks as Jay Garrick/The Original Flash 

Viggo Mortenson as Rex Tyler/Hourman 

Timothy Olyphant as Ted Grant/WildCat 

Thomasin McKenzie as Jade 

Isabel May as Jessica Chambers/Jesse Quick

Tye Sheridan as Rick Tyler/Hourman 

Blake Michael as Thomas Bronson/TomCat

Rami Malek as Hath Set 

Boyd Holbrook as Shadow Thief 

Now that's my cast for the Hawkman movie, and here are my ideas for a Hawkman movie.

9. The film should talk about retired superheroes and explore DC Lore. 

The film is about Hawkman, but we also explore old heroes such as Alan Scott, Jay Garrick, Rex Tyler, and Ted Grant. Who are retired superheroes who have passed on the mantle to their children or someone else continuing their legacy? For example, Rex and Ted, their sons Rick and Tom have taken up their mantles as the new Hourman and WildCat, Alan's daughter has become a superhero in her own right called Jade since there are already Green Lanterns since Alan's Green Lantern Ring is from the Green Flame not of the Power of Will and Jay since he has no children and The Flash the mantle is now in good hands with Barry Allen. Has Jessica Chambers, aka Jesse Quick, a speedster, who's to take his place on the JSA. Jay even sees Jesse as a daughter in his life, just like he sees Barry Allen as a son. 

I can also see a scene where Hawkman invites his former members over for dinner and drink to remember Dr. Fate, who died, and they talk about what's it like to be a retired superhero and their thoughts on today's superheroes. The film should also explore DC lore, how before Justice League, there was the Justice Society, and there have been superheroes since the 1940s. 

8. The film would set up a Justice Society film and a passing of the torch. 

Now I can see the Hawkman film setting up a Justice Society film in the future. Hawkman, I can see at the end of the film, he forms a new Justice Society, and his recruitments are Dr. Fate, Hourman, TomCat, Jesse Quick, and Jade. I can see the film having Jay and Alan as mentors to the new generation of Justice Society members. 

7. Hawkman's power of reincarnation will be discussed in the film. 

Hawkman's power of Reincarnation is talked about and explored in the film. I think the film will address his extraordinary power, and his wife, Hawkwoman, has the same power. Hawkman has many reincarnations, and at one point, someone mentions that he was killed in a battle against an alien invasion saving the world in the 80s. Hawkman also keeps track of his deaths and the lives he had before. The Justice Society knows about his power, and his wife Shayera was killed in battle in the 90s. The two reunite and always remember each other, for their love is never forgotten. 

6. The film would explore Hawkman's origin.

This film will focus on Hawkman's origin and his first life. He was a prince named Khufu during the Rameses the Second. Khufu and his lover Chay-Ara were reincarnated from several eras. The reason for his powers of reincarnation is that they found a spaceship that belonged to the Thanagar, or the Hawkpeople of the Planet Thanagar. They discovered nth metal, a powerful metal from the planet Thanagar. Hawkman uses it for his weapons and armor. Hath-Set, a high priest, murdered Khufu and Chay-Ara with a dagger forged by Nth Metal, but due to a spell cast by Nabu, the creator of the Fate Helmet, it gives them the power of Reincarnation. However, Hawkman doesn't remember that life along with his wife, for they both don't remember their lives in Egypt. The film is about him trying to learn who he was in his first life and his wife's life too. 

5. Hath-Set and Shadow Theif would be the villains of the film. 

Hath-Set would be the film's main villain, and he, too, has the power of reincarnation like Hawkman. He's fought Hawkman in every era. In the movie, he joins forces with Shadow Thief to kill Hawkman and Hawkwoman. Shadow Thief is one of Hawkman's other arch enemies, and he has fought Hawkman before in the past. This time, he joins forces with Hath-Set to take kill him. I can see Shadow Theif stealing the helmet of Doctor Fate in the film, for Hath-Set wants to use it against Hawkman.  Hath-Set will also have the power of reincarnation, and he made his mission to Hawkman and Hawkwoman in whatever life they have. 

4. The film would introduce a new Dr. Fate. 

The film could have a new Dr. Fate, and it would be the grand nephew of Kent. Khalid Kent is a young man Hawkman learns about and doesn't want to be Dr. Fate at first. He wants to live a normal life until the helmet is stolen by Shadow Thief, and eventually, Khalid has no choice but puts on the helmet of fate. He becomes the new Dr. Fate. Dr. Fate, I can see getting a spin-off. I did mention I liked the idea of each season focusing on a new person as Dr. Fate because it's the helmet that's the hero. 

3. Hawkwoman would play a significant role in the film and set her up to join Justice League. 

Hawkwoman would be in the film and play a significant role. The Hawkwoman I would go with would be Shayera. Since she was the Hawkgirl in the Justice League Animated series and is more well-known, I can see Kendra eventually appearing. Shayera and Carter are in a romance, and she helps Carter battle against Hath-Set and Shadow Thief. I don't see the character joining the Justice Society full-time; instead, she joins part-time. Hawkwoman would be set up to join the Justice League. 

2. The movie sets the stages of the Thangar race appearing in the next film.

I think the film will set up the Thangar race appearing in future movies, and Carter learns he's an alien from a race of hawk people. 

1. Hawkman movie will likely be its own thing and not a follow-up to Black Adam. Since Black Adam is not part of James Gunn's plan. 

Since the Black Adam wasn't the big hit, WB thought it would be, and it seems to have been confirmed that the film is not part of James Gunn's DCU plan. The Hawkman film could be a stand-alone film, but I think they should keep the death of Dr. Fate and how that affects Hawkman because they were best friends. So I would maintain that aspect for this movie. Also, instead of Dr. Fate getting killed in the Black Adam film, he died saving a group of people. The film should be about Hawkman's origins, his powers of reincarnation, retired heroes and new heroes taking up the mantle of old heroes. 

Also, I would see Hawkman eventually joining the Justice League in a future film, just like his wife will. However, it really depends if Hawkman will be part of the DCU plan, and although rumor has it, Gunn is looking at Justice League, the animated series, and Young Justice for ideas and inspiration. 

 

So that's my DCU Hawkman Movie Fan Cast and Ideas.

Let me know what you think.
