How did The Avengers create what many would call "a world-wide phenomenon?" Well, in case you can't remember, people laughed at the aspect of a series of films focused on the likes of Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America. These weren't flagship characters, they were second-tier supporting characters that most people had either never heard of or forgotten about.
So, what turned audiences around? There were many factors in the mix, but one thing we can all agree on is that it all started with one thing: Casting. Once Robert Downey Jr. was involved, the game changed. He brought a level of wit and prestige to his Tony Stark that helped elevate the movie and attract a strong supporting cast.
Now, that Marvel has had they're day in the sun, DC is obviously going to rush a Justice League film into pre-production. Everyone knows it. You could practically hear audiences whispering about it as they were leaving The Avengers. Sure, that was fun, but The Justice League is DC's best and brightest. Who would breathe life into such a cast?
People may roll their eyes, but again, it all comes down to casting. So, here's a "dream team" cast that I think would elevate a Justice League film to an Avenger-ish hype level.
