Part 1 and 2 of my movie fantasy casting call focused on a Superman movie, this time I’m including the Legion. Hey, a fantasy Superman movie would include the Legion, right? We start off with the founder and major financier of the LoSH: R. J. Brande. My pick after the break.
Lionel Barrymore
The actor cast in the role of R. J. Brande has to play both a shrewd businessman and a father figure to the Legion. Lionel can easily do this. Few actors have the range and experience that Lionel does. Grife, he could probably play this role in his sleep. I can just imagine some great father/son scenes with Chameleon Boy.
Here’s Lionel Barrymore in action:
You Can’t Take It With You (1938) (IMDB link)
The Devil-Doll (1936) (IMDB link)
Key Largo (1948) (IMDB link)
