I have to say that John Cusack as Spidey and Bill Murray as Deadpool are awesome picks. Well done!

Nice cast, cant really fault this, but I always though Lance Henriksen would make a good Magneto back in the day...

Great Cast, your Wolverine could be better. What about Mel Gibson?

Michael Ironside is short, bad-ass and Canadian - perfect for Wolverine!

Dude Mel Gibson is a berserker fury waiting to happen for Wolverine in a 80's cast. He'd be a huge box-office pull too.

I love your Sabretooth, Punisher,& Magneto picks!

The Warriors 3 are dope too.

- Sadly, I don't think Deadpool existed back then in the 80's. But Bill Murray would be excellent, seeing as he's great at comedy. Still is.
- Clancey would make an excellent Sabretooth. I think he can still do action, he's what, 53?
- Is that right, Michael Ironside is Canadian?

The rest of the cast is good. Hey, I don't think you saw my Deadpool fancast yet. Do that while you're at it.

nice cast.
sgt. barnes felt a lot like frank in punisher: born. was very different too.
mr. murray doing voicework. nice pick.
i like the ironside and clancy picks.
a friend of mine takes credit for the spider-man choice i agree with when we were talking about movies. he said michael j. fox if they did a spider-man movie back then. i agree. cusack is a quality actor tho.

Now THIS is what I like to call...PERFECTION! Kudos!

Whoa, that's really perfect casting!

-I've always thought Eric Stoltz or Matthew Broderick would've been great as Spider Man.
-I can actually see Murray as Deadpool
-Excellent choice of Mr. Fantastic
-I think Tom Selleck would've been amazing as Iron Man/Tony Stark
-Sam J. Jones as Captain America/Steve Rogers

I can EASILY see a LOT of these, especially Pullman as Hank Pym and Goldblum as Reed. Great fancast! Although in the future I'd suggest a little reasoning behind your pics, but other than that little nitpick, great article dude. :)

I've read and seen so many different fancasts on here, and a great deal of them have bugged the crap out of me for not explaining the reasoning for the choices made. But this casting job, imo, is so brilliantly made, that the reasons are self-explanatory. Good job, dude! Berenger as Punisher is my favorite.

This is pretty damn good. Great job man. :)

micheal ironside as wolverine, great call dude. I watched total recall again the other day and thought the same.

Perfect! Bill Murray as Deadpool is brilliant, and Bill Pullman as Hank Pym is amazing, too. Great job!

I love this. I'd like to see Cary Elwes for DCs Green Arrow though, (obviously right?). Plus, for some reason we need to see the cast from the A-Team incorporated here. Mr.T as Luke Cage, (another no-brainer I guess,lol).
Annnd so many others...the 80s...how I miss them.
