If you could cast any actor in the history of film, at any age, who would you choose to portray the Emperor of Mankind?

...

Rick Mora.

EoM is an Injun.

>spoilered
>filename gives it away

retard

The Emperor was born in Anatolia, retard.

He would look like Conan the Barbarian.

>Anatolia

He should look and sound like vincent price

"Heresy is it? You don't have the nerve, Horus."

Old Max.

Reminder, the heroic image you see is an illusion, the emperor is an old man.

...

I forget his name, but the guy who played General Zod in Man of Steel.

Idris Ebla

>implying the Emperor is a turkroach

He doesnt age.

the emperor can be any of these.

perks with being the penultimate psychic being is that biomancy is childs play. he probably also was a woman for a period of time to see what it was like.

...

the emperor is also supposed to have a sort of godly aura or presence. What ways could you use to show that on screen?

Michael Shannon.

lighting, composition, framing, cgi even

I just want to see old man Clint in power armour

More like old man clink

could have been a masterful ruse. Sadly, it wasn't. Or maybe it was, since you replied.

I just don't know anymore.

No idea, but I feel like a younger (TNG-era) Patrick Stewart would have been perfect as Horus.

He was born in Anatolia before Troy was even an idea in some fucker's head. Horse riders had not arrived yet.

Maybe with a different voice actor.

Young Marlon Brando

Came here to post Idris, well done

The only person who could do 40k justice on the big screen is Guillermo del Toro.

Prove me wrong.

Nicolas Cage obviously.

Rick Moranis. He would be the comic-relief emperor of mankind. Why so serious?

Mads obviously.

...

This could work. It needs to be a tanned/swarthy looking dude anyway. Or a literal skeleton. Your pick.

Jodorowsky
It's the only one who can keep the madness and not deliver a sanitazed product.

Donald Trump

He would be better as an Imperial Guard or commissar, or possibly one of the primarchs.

Dorn

Rowboat

...

What about Stephen Lang?

I think Tommy Lee would be better suited as the emps

though I don't know if he would let his hair grow to hippie style lengths.

Sean Bean
Younger Charles Dance/Ian McKellen

...

Orson Welles before he got fat and old.

Mads never came off as an imposing Alpha to me
He's great at playing cold blooded, calm madman but he could never play the likes of Dr. Doom and The Emps well.

Tbh I'd rather have him as Fulgrim

I think he would work better as a malcador type guy, a human eclipsed by demigods but still ultimately a scary aged old power

Bryan Cranston. Playing Hal shows how well he can handle being the father of a big group of uncontrollable retards.

...

He can be one of the Squats. Or an obese ratling.

*dread ordo malleus inquisitor

I could see him as Manus or Dorn.

Obviously Dark eldar Archeon.

Ed Harris. If they can fix his hair, and if he wasn't quite as old as he is now.

Now that hollywood is digging through trahs in sarch for cinematic univers, do you think that we can witness the dawn of Warhammerkino?

They look nothing Alike, maybe someone like Steven Seagal

Liam Neeson?

Hmm, do we have any neolithic era anatolian looking actors?

This one is better:

>neolithic era anatolian
No, only Nubian

Guys, i've just came up with a perfect cast for Angron
He can play Curze i guess.

A modern day generic lighter skinned arab looking guy would probably fit the mold yes I know arabs are not indigenous to that region. Or someone like

He only posed him because of the meme that those two look alike.

Adrian Brody.

he'd be the GOAT Ibram Gaunt

this

...

He'd make a pretty good Vulkan tbqh

Sonny Landham.

>salamanders
>of african descent

Getting a tan doesn't change your race, cuck.

This is the only acceptable answer.

A 100% CGI character. No real human could compare to the majesty of the Emperor.

...

Salamanders are literally black, though. Not brown like black people, black like coal. They're mutants.

just give him some red glowing eyes in post and everyone's happy

...

Why is his mouth so wide? Was he in an accident?

You need the greatest actor alive to play the greatest human in the universe.

>Implying he won't go to the gym and roid up for the role
>Implying he wont go around set killing black people for being mutants

...

The Emperor should reflect what he is in the books.

An unknown mysterious literal God.

He should not look human, he shouldnt have a face, he should be a suit of golden armor illuminated by swathes of light and his voice should be booming and angelic in the few words he deigns to say to the mortals around him.

All the books for the msot part shy away from directly writing about the person, or in person of the Emperor, because he isnt supposed to be a character in the universe, more a force.

I agree, basically it would all be in the voice; so who would that be?

trump

Imperial cult pls go

...

the voice shouldn't be recognizable as human so it doesn't matter much.

Isn't the emperor a rotting corpse?

Is Malcador secretly the Emperor?

He wasn't always dead you know.

Would praise this emperor.

He probably wasn't always old either.

It's a little ambiguous. He's so powerful he can stay as an entity through pure psychic strength, human sacrifice and a life support machine he designed himself.

If you worship an emperor who used to be a baby that means you worship children

If you're god is dead then your religion is retarded.

>who would you choose to portray the Emperor of Mankind?
Bruno Ganz already did a great job portraying that role.

...

>you're

Topkek

But seriously, we all know there's only one man who can pull this off.
