If one were to make a movie about the Greek god, which major actors would play which gods?

Question

To start you off, I think Nicole Kidman woulfd make a good Athena and Sandra Bullock would be Artemis. But, those are just my opinion, what about you guys?

Answer 1

Martin Sheen as Zeus

Daniel Day Lewis as Hermes

Geoffry Rush as Dionysus

Dolph Lundgren as Poseidon

Susan Sarandon as Hera

Julianne Moore as Demeter

Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Pan

Jeremy Irons as Hades

I'm having a hard time coming up with a good Apollo.  I think we could have Angelina Jolie as Artemis, but she'd really have to dial it back a few notches; her acting usually winds up unintentionally silly.

It's a very tricky prospect to cast characters primarily involved with love and/or reproduction, like Aphrodite, Eros, and so forth -- you want to pick someone "s**y" like Scarlett Johansson, but that's really not the type you're looking for.

Answer 2

Ares should be, Brad Pitt.

Answer 3

i think Nicole kidman would be a better aferdiety and the Gov-a-nater could be atlas

Answer 4

Hephaestus could be played by Bruce Willis.

Hermes could be played by Orlando Bloom.

Zues: some old white guy actor.

Aphrodite could be played by a starlet with a constant vacant expression.

Answer 5

I think Anthony Hopkins would make a great Zeus.

Kira Knightly could be an amazing Artemis.

Val Kilmer (with a GOOD director) could play Hades, if a so-so director, than I would go for Matt Damon.

Leonardo DiCaprio could play Hermes.

Michele Phiffer could possibly do Hera.

Ares would be Mark Walberg.

I can't think of anymore.
