Best known to most for the role of Tancy in Big Love, Thorne is a product of the Disney Channel but is quickly emerging into something more. Goyo, who also starred in Real Steel, is growing fast and would be an ideal sidekick for Virgil and to help witness his friend’s transformation into a hero.įrieda – Bella Thorne: One of my favorite comic couples - even when they weren’t dating, and it couldn’t have been without Frieda. Richie – Dakota Goyo: The underdog best friend of Static (already an underdog), I’d go a little younger than is portrayed in the comics and cast the actor who played the young Thor, Dakota Goyo. From what I’ve seen of Stenberg from Hunger Games, she could be an ideal sister for Jaden-as-Virgil and as a developing character of her own.

Sharon Hawkins – Amandla Stenberg: Early on her role isn’t much, but as a Static movie series progresses Sharon’s role could be huge. To play Static’s father and be the counterbalance to the influence of Holocaust, I think someone of Whitaker’s stature is necessary to work as more than just a two-dimensional father figure. Robert Hawkins – Forest Whitaker: Some people may be put off by Forest Whitaker’s eccentricities on screen, but I see him as an actor playing on multiple levels here.
Put it this way - when his father Will Smith was his age he wasn’t even rapping yet, and Jaden’s in line to put his father to shame if he holds up - and playing Static could be an ideal thing for both him and the character. Virgil Hawkins / Static – Jaden Smith: There’s been a lot of ill will put on Jaden Smith, given that he broke into the industry thanks to his father Will Smith, but a second viewing of The Pursuit of Happiness and Karate Kid shows some excellent promise. I’d love send him a complete set of Static Shock comics and see what he came back with. The rookie writer/director is a die-hard comics fan, and someone with a more worldly outlook on things to bring a broader set of skills than just your straight-up action director. To take this unique challenge on, I’d cast my net far outside the typical pool of would-be superhero directors and hire Beasts Of The Southern Wild‘s Benh Zeitlin. This Static Shock movie could be some powerful filmmaking - and I’m not just talking about the special effects - but you need someone in the director’s chair to prevent this from becoming the next Steel. And on that superhero side, we could see Holocaust coming in to mentor Static and Static rebelling against that dark path Holocaust offers and instead stands on his own terms. His high-school bully, F-Stop, becomes even more of a roadblock when his own powers emerge, cramping Virgil’s style both in school vying for the affections of Frieda and also in his budding superhero career. In a Static Shock movie, I’d go directly to that origin - showing how Virgil and his fellow “Bang Babies” got their powers, and how Virgil deals with it in his own way.

An angsty teenager full of promise, but seemingly bottled up by the politics of high school life, slowly finding a conduit to express himself. Virgil Hawkins has a vastly different upbringing than Peter Parker, something that most modern teenagers would find themselves in common with more. The Concept:Ĭo-creator Dwayne McDuffie is on record stating how Static was inspired by Spider-Man, and for a live-action movie they should follow through with that - to an extent. Enough business talk, let’s figure out how it could be done. With all the potential from the comics and the grip it has on the general public with his former series, Static Shock could - and should - be a “intellectual property” (as they call it) worth investing in to broaden the base and the horizons for DC’s movie plans. That mainstream popularity led to a young Geoff Johns to be among the first to try to incorporate him into the DCU, first as a Teen Titan and then later in his own series. Publishing under the guise of DC (and later bought out by it), Static was an inner city teenager forced to balance life in a gang-ridden neighborhood and found his only means of escape in his superhero identity, Static.įollowing an acclaimed comics run, Static found a second life in the form of the animated series titled Static Shock, which ran for four years. Washington III and a young John Paul Leon, Static was for many the flagship title of the 90s publisher Milestone.
