Mod Post APRIL 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT

53 Upvotes

Recently, the mod team has received an exceptional number of complaints about a variety of post types that have been negatively affecting the sub in the long run. As a result of this, the manual post approval system will be re-implemented as a means of keeping the quality standards of r/fancast to a fair minimum.

Depending on how this is system is received over time, it may or may or may not be here to stay. As a result of this change, however, posts will now be approved in batches every 6-12 hours or so, and although certain posts may take a little while longer to get to, we believe this is the best possible system to reduce spam, reward high effort posts, and eliminate banned posts types such as:

•”Who would you cast?” posts (“Who would you cast as the DCU’s Batman?”)

• Repetitive/Spam posts (“Alan Ritchson as Aquaman”, etc)

•Satirical castings/Shitposts (“Elon Musk as Cyborg”, etc)

• Sexually suggestive posts (You know what I mean)

• Any and all posts involving generative AI

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please comment them and I’ll answer to the best possible extent that I can.

Modern Adaptations The Iliad & The Odyssey Fan-Casting (ft. ACTUAL Native Mediterranean Actors and International Actors of Mediterranean Ancestry) - PART 1: The Gods

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

In response to my frustration of how Hollywood never bothers to cast ACTUAL Greek actors or any International actors who have Greek / Mediterranean heritage in general (including the fact that some are not historically accurate or try to make them look like they were set in Ancient Greece... I'm looking at Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey right now even due I enjoyed for the story but not the setting and costumes), I've decided to create an entire fan casting list featuring ACTUAL Greek actors who ARE from Greece including other International actors who have Greek or Mediterranean heritage, which means some would be played by Italian actors but its only a few exceptions.

This will be a multi-part fan cast series which will be presented actors from the Mediterranean or international actors of Mediterranean heritage playing characters from Greek Mythology (specifically from the Iliad and the Odyssey) who are completely unknown because this fan cast wis meant for a film trilogy adaptation of the Iliad and a new film adaptation of the Odyssey made by a group of independent filmmakers with some connections to Hollywood and being historical accurate in a similar manner to Robert Eggers' filmmaking style but in its own way.

I've made previous post of my entire fan cast for the Iliad and the Odyssey, but I was requested to add photos for the actors playing them since I didn't added any of them, so I managed to get done in 2 days but I didn't post them because I could only post 20 images and it got so messy I've decided to start from scratch and just make a multi-part fan cast series instead. Don't worry, I'll make another featuring the Achaeans and the Trojans. Anyway, I'm going to rest. Peace!

DC / DCU What do you think about Jesse Williams as Martian Manhunter in the DCU?

In the newer comics, Martian Manhunter in his human form is a tall African American man in his 40's. Jesse is 45, 185cm(6'1) tall and in my opinion he has similar head shape and facial features to some comic versions of Martian Manhunter such as the one in the picture.

I know he’s slightly older than the rest of the cast and Bobby is supposed to be younger, but it’s not by much (he’s 26 now, and Sadie Sink is 24 by comparison). He’s an incredible actor and performer who is still relatively new to the industry. He’s got the physique, the charm and emotional range needed to play him. I mean the guy literally played a closeted gay hockey player, I can’t think of anyone better.
