Hiroyuki Sanada as Kai Leng.

He might actually be able to make the character bad@ss.

For those unfamiliar with him, he was Ujio in The Last Samurai and Captain Kaneda in Sunshine.

DO NOT watch the second clip if you've never seen Sunshine. Massive spoilers.

Of course Hiroyuki Sanada is Japanese, but Kai Leng is actually supposed to be part Chinese and Eastern European. Just shift that to Chinese/Japanese in the film.

Cavill as Superman AND Shepard!?

Too much!

Then again Chris Pine is Captain America and Silver Surfer, Ian McKellan Magneto and Gandalf, and JJ Abrams has Star Trek and Star Wars

I think you're confusing Pine with Chris Evans; Evans played Cap America and the Human Torch in FF2.  Doug Jones actually played the Silver Surfer, with Laurence Fishbourne doing the voice.

Hey, howabout Fishbourned as Saren?  I think he'd make a good Taurian anyways.

Mickey Rourke would be the ultimate Ren Shep...but I don't think the franchise could handle that much awesome.

Yes yes yes I meant Chris Evans.

AND I meant The Human Torch + Captain America!

Harrison Ford as Hacket? What's wrong with Lance Henrickson? I think he'd make a fine Hacket. Heck, he even looks like him...and for some strange, inexplicable reason sounds like him! Ford, on the other hand...I'd keep expecting him to say something to Chewie. I'd pick Martin Sheen for the Illusive Man. They could do to him what they did to Bridges in Tron to make him look younger.

Thane: Doug Jones
That's the guy who played Abe Sapien in the HellBoy movies. He also did the voice of Saarabas in DA, so he's worked for Bioware before.

For

Personally, i like too Henricksen voice. I think that it's one of the best english voice in video games, really bad-assB). But, phisically, i think that Harrison Ford it's more similar to Hackett than Henricksen. God, if you watch Ford with beard it's almost the same!

Liara T'soni=Evan Rachel Wood (obviusly in CGI)

Then why not cast the actual VA?

As much as I love Ali Hillis as Liara's voice actress in the game, I don't think she would be well suited to play the character in a live action movie.

"Obviously in CGI"

Yes, obviously. But for a humanoid character face like Liara, which require a real face actress, the CGI can't mask totally the face of an actress to make it look like another person. The actress would be very upset.
The argument it's different for characters like Turian, Krogan, Salarian etc. in which CGI it's indispensable to recreate the species, so the actor who interpreting those roles know about their apparence on set.

Contrary to popular beleif, actors and actresses outside A-list names (like DeNiro, DiCaprio, Jolie etc.) have little to no creative input at all in their characters. Having to "look" completely unlike themselves is nothing - most actors/actresses are beyond extatic to be simply getting real exposure. It is a misconception that a lot of movies have things changed because actors dont like it, and the exceptions are few and far between.

Also, the vast majority of actors auditioning for the roles would know little to nothing about ME beforehand, you think some will be OK walking in knowing their faces will be completely changed while others wouldn't? No. Kind of arbitrary. The director could easily just tell the Liara actress what the deal is.

[Skaldian]

Anna Torv as Commander Shepard.

[Lars10178]

I would want Jason Statham as Shepard, though they don't look that familiar

[KevinT18]

You guys realize Shepard doesnt have to be Sheploo right? It could be anyone.

[Sparbiter]

I see no reason that Keith David and Martin sheen can't reprise their roles. Those two characters are defined by their unique voices

Heh...but if they cast him then Shepard would be a loner, saving the galaxy by himself.  Of course, in ME2 there'd be a flaw with the heart Cereburs implants resulting in him having to zap himself with an ME field every X minutes or...DIE <cue dramatic music>!

Speaking of bald actors...howabout Vin Diesel as Saren?

[Modius Prime]

I don't know, but I think Paul Walker looks a lot like Broshep.
Just give him that weird scar on Shepard's #1 haircut. He has the same skin tone, the same crystal-blue eyes, and the face structure looks familiar. His voice also is a little reminiscent of Broshep's.

[Ameno Xiel]

Sharon Stone as Samara? Hell yeah! I really like most of your "fan-cast" OP.

[TheEgoRaptor]

Sir Ian Mckellen deserves a better role than Goddamn Udina.

[Wolfva2]

Just thinking about CGI...someone said Liara would need to have CGI, but not really. If you want to see how a woman looks in blue, go no further then Rebecca Romain as Mystique in X-Men. <blank stare> <blink> Uh. What was I talking about? Oh yeah, CGI. Anyways, asari tentacles don't move much so a prosthetic would work.

Same with Turian and Quarian...except for the legs. Don't they both have reversed knees? That could be ignored I guess, or worked around. I'd like it if the aliens tended to move differently then humans though. Like, Turians walking more birdlike or something. Krogan, however, would almost need to be CGI'd.

[KevinT18]

Exactly ^. With CGI skin most actresses auditioning for Liara could look just like her. By the time this is being filmed X-Men technology will likely be 20 years old, and even that would have been more than adequate.

If Avatar isn't enough justification that any actor can play a CGI'd character then I dont know what is. And the movie is 4 years old, based on even older tech. It's not hard to move the motion-caption points on the actor's face post production to change their facial structure entirely while retaining their emotional expressions in the film.

BAH!  You just want to see her sitting in her chair near the Rachni queen as Shep and Co.  walk in and she languidly spins towards you, then slowly uncrosses and crosses her legs showing her azure.

I feel actors like these is more reasonable considering what I expect from the budget:

Shepard
Joel Edgarton

Kaidan
Frank John Hughes

Pressly
Xander Berkeley

Ashley Williams
Emily Blunt

Emily Wong
Kristin Kreuk

Liara T'Soni
Elisha Cuthbert

Zaeed
Stellan Skargård

Captain Bayley
William Sadler

Samara
Lucy Lawless

Morinth
Morena Baccarin

Thane Krios
Robert Pattinson

Samantha Traynor
Samantha Barks

[Fredvdp]

I'd keep the original voice actors for some of the aliens that either need to be CG or actors in heavy prosthetics.

A few suggestions I have:

Kaidan Alenko - Nathan Fillion
Illusive Man - Jon Hamm
Shepard - Liam McIntyre (although Henry Cavill is a good choice as well)

Why McIntyre? He's a pretty good actor who's young enough for the part, has a good physique and is a big fan of the Mass Effect series. I once made this suggestion on Twitter and he seemed enthousiastic about it. I'm only curious if he can do a Canadian accent.

Why Nathan Fillion? He's a BioWare veteran (Jade Empire), Canadian, and a damn good actor.

Why Jon Hamm? As much as I love Martin Sheen, he's getting older, and the illusive Man is supposed to represent the typical human, which all the shortcomings (drinking and smoking) but also the strengths (youthfullness, determination). Jon Hamm may not want to do this due to fear of being typecast (similarities with Don Draper), but he's charming, good looking and can represent the strength of the Illusive Man very well. He also starred in another movie made by Legendary Pictures, who are producing the Mass Effect movie, so they have experience working with each other.

He needs to be Hackett. And Anderson. And Sovereign voice. And Bailey. And everyone.

And Christopher Lee as Presley.

And I am fine as long Noomi Rapace is femshep. From the current actresses, this is the only woman for me that can be both gergeous female, but not that kind of pretty queen and badass fighter too. And has character.

And I can´t really see Nathan Fillion as Kaidan. They are way too different.

And actually I don´t want Mass Effect film. I want ME film, but not The Mass Effect film. I would disagree with most of the choices they will make. Especially Virmire.

[Mims]

I second Noomi Rapace as Femshep. She's a great actress, and I feel like she needs a second go in sci-fi after Prometheus. My runner up would be Naomie Harris [Penny, Skyfall], who is also amazing. Must be something with the N names.

For Manshep, I don't know. I really would love to see Jon Bernthal [Shane, Walking Dead]. When he shaves his head he looks very Shepard like, and I also love his rougher looking appearance.

It doesn't have to be, but would most likely be as Sheploo is a character that most gamers would immediately recognize even if they never played a Mass Effect game. He is the character that was all over the advertising for three games.

Its the route I would go if I were in charge of casting.

okay:

Anderson has to be played by Morgan Freeman

and for Hackett, get Sean Connery out of retirement!
