Hypothetically... Avengers in the 90s


Let’s take a break from yelling at everyone on the internet and just have some fun. Let’s say the MCU is now in the 90’s. Who would you cast? I’ll give my opinions, and feel free to give your own opinions, and/or add on.

Captain America: River Phoenix

Iron Man: Brad Pitt

Thor: Kenneth Branagh

Banner/ Hulk: Jim Carrey

Fury: Denzel Washington

Hawkeye: Tom Cruise

Black Widow: Demi Moore

Doctor Strange: Johnny Depp

Starlord: Matt Damon

Gamora: Winona Ryder

Captain Marvel: Nicole Kidman

Any you would change or any add ons?

reply

Depp as Strange is perfect. I wouldn’t dare change that one.


The rest are solid picks but I would personally change it up...



Captain America: Brad Pitt

Iron Man: Tom Cruise
He came close to playing Tony in the MCU, after all. Realistically though, I can’t see anyone but RDJ in the role

Spider-Man: Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Thor: Val Kilmer
Hard to think of someone that could compete with Hemsworth in terms of physicality and presence. I think Val could’ve nailed the role tho

Banner: Josh Brolin (hey now)

Black Widow: Angelina Jolie

Hawkeye: Christian Bale

Loki: Gary Oldman

Fury: Sam Jackson
Makes sense to keep him in the role. If not, it’s Robert Redford as classic Fury for me

Bucky/The Winter Soldier: Brandon Lee

Captain Marvel: Michelle Pfeiffer

Star-lord: Keanu Reeves
Had he gotten in his “Speed” shape and played the role similar to the airheads he played early in his career, then I have no trouble seeing him as SL

Scarlett Witch: Jennifer Connelly 😍

Vision: Jeremy Irons

Ant-Man: Michael Douglas
If they were to stick with the first Ant-Man, that is. Or keep Rudd in the role

Black Panther: Wesley Snipes

Gamora: Vivica A. Fox

Nebula: Sharon Stone

Mantis: Ming-Na Wen

Drax: Jimmy Smits

Rocket Racoon: Al Pacino
Lol, just have him go easy on the F-bombs

Groot: Liam Neeson

Falcon: Bokeem Woodbine

Ebony Maw: Ralph Fiennes

Promixa Midnight: Famke Janssen


THANOS: Harrison Ford




Good post

I'd still go with Branagh since he's a big Thor fan, and Stan Lee said he thought about having a Thor movie starring Branagh in the mid-90's. Also the character is very Shakespearean so it would make sense for a trained actor in Shakespeare to do so

Seriously you have it perfect. This is exactly how I'd do it.

This is tougher than one would think....

Captain America...Kevin Costner

Iron Man ... Mel Gibson

Thor...Dolph Lungren or Arnold

Banner/Hulk...like Jim Carrey, but I'll go with young Tom Hanks

Hawkeye... Bruce Willis

Fury...well, he was white at the time....so I'll say Clint Eastwood.

Black Widow...LOVE Demi Moore as a choice, but I'll throw in Linda Florentino since she did that accent in gotcha

Doctor Strange...got to be Depp

Quicksilver....Tom Cruise (because...running)

Scarlet Witch ....Rebecca De Mornay (because after Risky Business, her being Cruiiise's sister would be Ultimate Universe level creepy
