Cast Party: Who Should Star in a ‘Doom Patrol’ Movie?

I don't want to minimize Offerman's considerable talents, but I think he's the very best at two emotions: grumpy and tired. And that's pretty much Cliff Steele. His metal form will be motion-captured, so he'll have all of Offerman's body language as well as his voice.

Pedrad's an incredibly beautiful actress that Hollywood hasn't given nearly enough to do. Elasti-Girl is also a beautiful actress, shunned by Hollywood for turning into a giant. They're perfect for each other.

I'm filling this movie with comedic actors because I want it to be fun despite the characters' dark circumstances. And if anybody can find the humor in being dangerously radioactive, it's Cho.

Stunt casting, but also kind of not. Niles Caulder is a charismatic but untrustworthy weirdo who's obsessed with the bizarre. Duchovny's great at that sort of thing, plus he can pull off the beard.

Steve Dayton presents himself as a handsome romantic lead, but he's actually kind of an obsessive creep. I think Williams can handle those layers.

Pinon's face may or may not appear in flashback, but mostly he'll be a digitized voice emitted from the base of his brain jar. Either way, he's a delightfully weird actor with a real French accent, best known for his work with Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

I also wanted an actual French actor to voice Mallah, but Cassel is a much more romantic figure. I love the idea of him playing a handsome, debonair Frenchman, except he just happens to actually be a gorilla, and all his love scenes are with a brain in a jar.

We saw in little flashes on Mad Men that Paré is capable of being surprisingly harsh and menacing when called on to do so. As Rouge, she'll stay in that mode for the entire movie.

Garguax moves slowly in Earth's gravity, but he's still huge and menacing. And nobody's more menacing than Samoa Joe. If Guardians of the Galaxy taught us anything, it's that you can't go wrong painting a wrestler green.
