Guy I could do without: Keanu Reeves. I know, he's in a load of fun movies, but in any one of them I'd have preferred Christian Bale. Now he's going to play John Constantine, nailing shut the coffin on another potentially good another comic book adaptation. Should I bother to mention that Constantine is English, charming, and intelligent? Physically, he's based on Sting when he was younger. (See for yourself).
Oh crap! I didn't know this. This has just ruined my evening. I am so sick of these guys getting casting so very wrong. In an age where comic book movies really should be able to come to life on the screen they keep screwing up the casting. Anyone whose seen Dracula or Much Ado About Nothing has got to know that Reeves cannot do English.
To chime in on the Daredevil discussion also. I believe the film would have been better with Matt Damon playing Murdoch. Not only does he have the physicality and acting ability for the role, but he also has the look. Much at Constantine is the image of Sting, Matt Murdoch is the image of Matt Damon.
