The Warriors Three are a trio of Asgardian adventurers, and are awesome.This is Fandral The Dashing...
And the thing about Fandral The Dashing is that he is so totally Cary Elwes.
This is one of those perfect, obvious casting choices (like Patrick Stewart as Professor X or Corey Haim as Shaft) that most everbody can agree upon. Heck, even Wizard : The Guide To Titties got this one right ten or so years ago.
Except, yeah, that was like ten or so years ago. Don't get me wrong, Elwes still looks pretty darn good for a man his age, but that age may be just a bit too advanced to pull off such a dashing, rogue-ish role today. So, who could fill those thigh-high green boots?
Not sure how good Gerard Butler would look as a blond, so maybe he might not be the spitting image of his comic counterpart, but go watch RocknRolla and tell me he couldn't pull it off.
Next up is Hogun The Grim, the handlebar-mustachioed tough guy of the group.
Hogun needs to exude badassery, the kind of guy who can make you soil yourself whether he's letting loose a savage battle cry as he lunges at you with his big mace, or just staring at you...
Enter Josh Brolin, who pretty much played a modern-day version of the character in No Country for Old Men, and even made George W. Bush seem kind of cool.
Finally, we have Volstagg the Voluminous, The Lion of Asgard!
Volstagg is the burly, hard drinking (maybe just a little past his prime) heart of the team. He's a family man, a legend in his own mind, and just a really big ol' fat dude who's awesome.
Throw a big orange beard on John Goodman and BOOM, Volstagg! Go watch Speed Racer and imagine 'Pops' in a good mood, and we think you'll agree.
Now...who's gonna play Beta Ray Bill?
BTW, Justin's Lost post will probably be postponed till Thursday, cause we work for a living, dammit.
Robbie Coltrain would make a better volstagg.
