Dave Franco
Dave Franco has spent the last couple years taking on some diverse roles in an effort to step out of his older brother’s huge shadow. And you know what, he’s succeeded. Franco has proved he’s got the acting talent worthy of some serious roles, and he’ll be getting a lot more of those, not based on his last name, but based on how enjoyable he is to watch on screen.
Like many names on this list, he’s definitely a heartthrob, especially among the teenage girl segment. While that isn’t necessarily the target market for anything Justice League related, you’d be lying to yourself if you tried to say the execs over at Warner wouldn’t welcome an extra demographic coming in to swoon over Franco’s bulging biceps and boyish charm.
It’s his role in Now You See Me that sold me on his merits as a superhero, and specifically Flash. Franco perfectly pulled off the proper mix of showmanship and hesitancy that was needed for his character in that film. It’s that same nice-guy attitude he showed that would be perfect for Barry Allen. If Warner wants to make Flash the youngest character of their initial JLA, there may not be a better choice than Franco.
What do you think of these choices? Is there anyone you’d rather see? Head down to the comments below and let us know who you would like to see play The Flash in Justice League.
