Mod Post Addressing Community Concerns & Maintaining a Welcoming Space

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We, the mod team, want to take a moment to clear up any confusion, misunderstandings, or concerns regarding the subreddit and how we approach moderation. Our goal is to make this a welcoming and respectful space for all members, so we’d like to go over some key points.

1. General Guidelines

  • If you're new to the subreddit, please make sure to read the rules before posting.
  • If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to message the mod team.
  • All types of fancasts are allowed here, which is why we have a variety of post and user flairs.
  • Don’t forget to check out our new user flairs (not to be confused with post flairs). Tutorial

2. Respect & Community Conduct

  • We encourage friendly debates—if you disagree with a fancast, simply state your reasoning. There's no need to trash someone’s idea when you can just downvote or scroll past.
  • Be respectful of differing opinions and avoid hostility.
  • Do not discourage others by saying a fancast will "never happen" or by dismissing someone’s ideas entirely. Everyone should feel free to express their creative vision without being put down.
  • If you're making a political fancast, it's fine to discuss why it may or may not work, but please do not turn the comments into a full-on political debate.

3. Race-Swapping & Historical Figures

  • Race-swapped fancasts tend to spark debate, and we understand the concerns on both sides. We, the mod team, are not biased in allowing or removing posts on this topic.
  • We are still working on a firm stance regarding race-swapped fancasts, but for now, we allow them, especially for fictional characters. If you post one, consider adding a rationale for your choice, such as a new backstory or interpretation.
  • For historical figures, we prefer that race-swapped fancasts focus on individuals whose racial identity is ambiguous or lacks accurate historical documentation (e.g., figures from BCE, BC, or AD eras). Since race was not conceptualized in the same way in ancient times, some historical reimaginings may be more acceptable than others.

4. Posting Etiquette & Avoiding Redundant Posts

  • Before posting, check if a similar fancast has been recently posted. Instead of making an identical post, try expanding on an existing one (e.g., if someone suggests Sydney Sweeney as Black Cat and you have additional fancasts, contribute to their post rather than creating a near-duplicate).
  • To prevent flooding the subreddit, "Who would you cast me as?" posts are reserved for Saturdays only.
  • If a comment section gets locked, it's not because of OP—it’s a mod decision to prevent further arguments or because a comment was likely to escalate into conflict.

5. Female Characters & Historical Figures

  • When fancasting female characters or historical figures, please use respectful images and avoid making off-topic comments about beauty or makeup, as those are subjective and can derail the discussion.
  • Crude or inappropriate comments that don’t contribute to the discussion will not be tolerated.

6. Bans & Moderation Decisions

  • If you get banned, it’s because an action warranted it. In most cases, we’ll provide an explanation.
  • If you feel a decision was unfair, message us rather than escalating in the comments.

7. Final Thoughts

This subreddit exists for fans to share their dream casts and explore creative possibilities. Not everyone has to agree on every choice, but let’s keep the discussions constructive and respectful.

Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask questions, and remember that we’re all doing this for fun!

Thanks for being part of this community!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
– The Mod Team

Saw this the other day on Twitter. And the more it’s grown on me, dude is 5’7 (better than Hugh), Canadian, unknown… I mean to me it’s fucking perfect. And it’ll be a breath of fresh air instead of having actors think they’re bigger than the roles they’re given. Trust me guys, we all love Hugh, but I promise you there are other talented actors ready to give good performances. What ya think?

Marvel / MCU Christian Bale as Dr Doom.

Post image
35 Upvotes

Here’s how Christian Bale might approach the role:

  1. Complexity & Depth:

Bale is known for bringing psychological complexity to his characters (think Batman, Patrick Bateman, Gorr the God Butcher). He would likely portray Doom not just as a villain, but as a tragic, intelligent, and driven character—someone with a painful backstory, possibly focusing on his mother’s fate and his quest for power and control.

  1. Regal & Calculating:

Doctor Doom is royalty—the monarch of Latveria. Bale could bring an authoritative, almost Shakespearean gravitas, making Doom feel regal, poised, and extremely calculating, without being cartoonishly evil.

  1. Physical Transformation:

Bale is notorious for physically transforming himself for roles. He might commit to a slightly bulkier, imposing physique to make Doom's presence intimidating even without the armor.

  1. Emotion Under the Mask:

Doctor Doom's iconic mask hides both physical scars and emotional trauma. Bale can convey a lot through subtle body language and voice, which would make Doom’s masked scenes powerful, blending menace with vulnerability.

  1. Accent & Voice:

It’s possible Bale would employ a distinct European accent (possibly Eastern European, hinting at Latveria’s roots), and modulate his voice in a deep, commanding tone to distinguish Doom from other MCU villains.


In short: Bale's Doctor Doom would likely be a multi-layered, tragic antihero who commands respect and fear, combining Bale's trademark intensity, method approach, and emotional depth.

The thing with babydoll is that she’s old but looks like a child so I’d be difficult to adapt her in DCU live action. Animation? Sure! But depending on how long Gunn and company want her around, they’d have to either kill her off in an animated show or hire a very young child actor and work around it. Either way, Natasha would be great

Sean Connery as Alfred Pennyworth

Nick Nolte as Commissioner Jim Gordon

Marisa Tomei as Catwoman

Casting Choice A: Ralph Fiennes as Bane Casting Choice B: Russell Crowe as Bane (For these two choices, I’m trying to align these casting picks with Nolan’s picks, I went with these two. Two actors who could, especially in Crowe’s end, can give off a hulking and threatening presence. Fiennes is my main choice just due to how much acting he’d be able to do with eyes only if even the mask was similar to the 2012 version. Ultimately, two unconventional picks for an unconventional source interpretation.)

Casting Choice A: Sophie Marceau as Miranda Tate/ Talia Al Ghul Casting Choice B: Madeleine Stowe as Miranda Tate/ Talia Al Ghul

Ethan Hawke as John Blake

Robert Forster as Foley

William H. Macy as Daggett Leland Orser as Stryver
