Harold "Harry" Leland
for Harold "Harry" Leland in Marvel Universe Fancast, unpopular choices
Suggested by liontravel
Hello, I'm working on a fancast list of popular franchises for a special project. The fancast that I'm working on focuses on the Marvel side of the project but I'm looking for actors I could fancast for my project, so I'm hoping some of you could give me suggestions because I couldn't decide which one, so I was hoping if anyone of you could help me on giving me ones. But one condition; I want all casting choices to be unpopular choices, actors that are not typically fancasted all the time (like micahmadera's https://www.mycast.io/stories/x-men-but-without-the-usual-fancast-actors), that means no Milo Gibson as Wolverine, Evan Rachel Wood as Jean Grey or Jason Isaacs as Magneto, sorry. The reason why is because I want my list to be unique and interesting, not filled with the typical ones. So please, no popular opinions or already mention casting choices, that would be helpful for me, Thanks! PS, I’m gonna add more characters including the villains a day or more, this is due to how slow my computer is. I’ll update my page once it's functioning. I’ve messaged micahmadera if I could use fan casting choices he made on his web (both X-Men and DC characters) and he actually said yes. You could also add a character for me if you want but popular/typical choices cannot be added, that would be helpful for me. Thanks again!
