For years I've heard the stories of James Cameron wanting to make a Spiderman movie in the mid-90s(with Leo DiCaprio as Parker). This is a cool what-if scenario. In a way today's comic book movies are almost "spiritual successors" to the action movies of the 80's and 90's, I believe. So Let's say in an alternate universe Cameron brings all the action stars together and puts them into a 90's version of the MCU. Here are some of my picks.
Arnold- The Hulk
Dolph Lundgren- Thor
Bruce Willis- Captain America
Stallone- Wolverine
Van Damme- Gambit
Cynthia Rothrock- Black Widow
Wesley Snipes- Blade
Michael Jai White- The Falcon
Michael Biehn- Cyclops
Chuck Norris- Hawkeye
Charles Bronson or Clint Eastwood- Nick Fury
Brandon Lee- Shang-Chi
Then you have other names like Nick Cage, Keanu Reeves, Sigourney Weaver, Linda Hamilton I'm sure they could find a character for.
Any other ideas or obvious choices I'm missing??

Any other ideas or obvious choices I'm missing?? By the 90's, I don't think they'd have a guy in green paint as the Hulk in a theatrical film. Cameron would probably want the Hulk to be CGI. Perhaps more feasibly, an elaborate animatronic puppet. I'd swap Cap and Hawkeye's actors. Willis is much closer in personality to Hawkeye, and Chuck Norris is more of the bland American hero. |

Fun to think about. I like the Buscemi pick, he could be the Bruce side. Such a funny thought too with Buscemi transforming into Arnold. Good call on Pitt he was great in Troy so it fits. |

I see what you’re saying about Hulk. Cameron would obviously bring him in for something. I’m imagining it now, Arnold with the “I am Inevitable” line as Thanos. Would be gold. |

Captain America - I'd go for Mike O' Hearn as the outside choice. |

Gibson was one of the biggest movie star overall, he’d be good as a villain. If you’d want a serious Thanos, this casting would be great too. |

I honestly wanted to cast him as a hero but knowing what he is in real life, villian is the best. Here's more: Sam Elliot as Ultron Patrick Swayze as Vison Uma Thurman as Wanda Brandon Lee as Quicksilver Wesley Snipes as Black Panther Laurence Fishburne as Killmonger Michael Clarke Duncan as M'baku Michael Masse as Ulysses Klaw |

I’m trying to think of a character Steven Seagull could’ve played at the time. I don’t know much about the character but going by appearance, maybe Namor the Sub-mariner?
Another question. Harrison Ford feels like a weird choice for a superhero. Who would he fit as? An older Starlord? I don’t see him as a villain.
edit: Ford as Reed Richards?

Groot: "I AM GROOT!" Starlord: "What did he say?" Rocket: "He said he's too old for this shit." I’m trying to think of a character Steven Seagull could’ve played at the time. I don’t know much about the character but going by appearance, maybe Namor the Sub-mariner? Young Seagal kinda has the look. I don't know, he might be too chill for Namor. Another question. Harrison Ford feels like a weird choice for a superhero. Who would he fit as? An older Starlord? I don’t see him as a villain. edit: Ford as Reed Richards? Maybe play him like Indy. A scientist/adventurer. Hmmmm... Harrison Ford as Reed Richards Carrie Fisher as Sue Richards Mark Hamill as Johnny Storm Billy Dee Williams as Ben Grimm Peter Mayhew as The Thing |

Steven Segal as Kang the Conqueror In hindsight I think Gary Busey as Ultron and Keith David as Thanos is better |

Danny Devito as the Hulk could carry the entire franchise to trillions.
