Recasting the Avengers for Today

Lets say the MCU starts in 2022. Who would play earth's mightiest heroes? I fancast avengers for today, Here are my picks who could play Captain America, Ironman, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, and Hulk.

Equipment Used

Just to be clear this is just for fun, there is no replacement for the original cast.

The next couple of videos up are Phase 2 + 3 and a villains one but who else should I not miss?

Usually avengers fan casts are filled with the same predictable people. Glad to see some unique and honestly pretty perfect choices here

[blunderbass]

Straight up GASPED out loud with your Iron Man casting. A brilliant choice of a just-underrated-enough actor that I love.

perfect

[elijahdoesstuff]

This is one of the only Avengers fancasts that's almost as good as the actual cast. My only problem is that Timothy Olyphant might be a bit too old to play the role for several years.

[marchingham]

I honestly didn't think you could convince me with a new iron man casting but Holy crap you NAILED IT. And Hugh Dancy as Bruce banner? Spot on!! You should do this professionally.

[playa_bolivianav]

I love it, they are perfect for a more grounded gritty version of Avengers less friendly and less disney

[scuproductions]

A cool idea (to me at least) is to make the DCEU but following the blueprint of the MCU. This has been done but your video would be more about whos being casted for the heros and villains you choose for each movie. You could go from phase to phase per video.

Forsure RDJ is a legend especially because of the iron man performances. However Timothy is actually a great choice. Maybe for like a multiverse iron man cameo or something like secret wars they could explore that.

Timothy Oliphant as Tony Stark is brilliant

[summerstarr]

LOVED your idea for Cap & Black Widow. I'd like to see who you'd cast for Bucky & some of the villains.

[jenofthemoon]

Hugh Dancy and Timothy Olyphant are ABSOLUTELY INSPIRED CHOICES. I had no idea where you were going when you went all original and as usual you didn’t disappoint. Stoked to see your phases 2-3 onward choices!!!

[christophertalbot]

Your choices for Cap and Widow were brilliant. I would want to wait ~10 years before this actually happened but if it did happen today, this is how it should look.

[toricharrier]

Hugh Dancy as Bruce Banner absolutely blew my mind, oh my god it’s perfect

[danodwyer]

Completely nailed Cap and Iron Man. Normally find these a bit cringe, but this is an excellent, well thought video. Good knowledge of film too!

[Rorschach]

In my opinion, Edward Norton is way better Hulk/ Bruce Banner than Mark Ruffalo.

[maisonfoley]

I almost jumped from my seat when you said Hugh Dancy. I've always said he would make an incredible Bruce Banner, especially after seeing his role in Hannibal.

[VidoeGamesForEver]

For an more comic book accurate Hawkeye, Sam Worthington could play him. In the comics, he needs to be brash and arrogant. He needs to have an skinny body physique and blonde hair. Clint Barton could be explored more as an villain turned anti-hero. If they’re is reboot for the mcu in the future, they could show more the hero characters have different motivations. Some heroes do it for justice, some do it for revenge, etc.

[rodwooz]

Great choices for all six! I actually preferred Norton over Ruffalo as Banner, but probably more to do with how Norton's was learning martial arts and running to control his transforming and Ruffalo's never further explored that. Again, your choices were great!

[VidoeGamesForEver]

In the reboot, The new version of Captain America will have more Perseverance, Humility, Spirit, Courage and Empathy. Kind of like EMH Captain America.

Timothy Olyphant actually screen tested for iron man
