Actors/actresses you'd like to see in Alien 5

[x-M-x]

Iain Glen,

[[cancerblack]]

You know, after hearing Sharlto Copely do a british accent, I'm actually disappointed that he claims to not be involved with this.  I reckon he's got the acting chops to do something really memorable (David8-tier role) if the audience wasn't distracted by his (super exaggerated) Seth Effrikan accent.

I want to see Arnold Schwarzenegger, and I want him to kill an Alien at least once, so he can be the only actor to have killed an Alien, and Predator, and a Terminator on screen. Then he can stick it to Lane Henrikson and Bill Paxton.

Also obviously Michael Biehn and Sigourney Weaver. It could be a reunion of The Terminator!

I'd like to see some Japanese or just some sort of asian characters in this fancy new Alien(s) cinema extravaganza! You know, since we likely have W-Y, which is a mix of Western (Brit/American) and Japanese companies. (Alien 3 of course had a nod to this with some Japanese W-Y technicians at the end.)

Since people have mentioned BSG (which I'm a fan of) I'll suggest Grace Park. She's not Japanese, but it's a step towards a little bit of a wider ethnic mix beyond the usually heavy American and British casts of an Alien film. Not to force "diversity" just for the sake of it. Here it makes sense as not only would the interstellar future setting likely be more ethnically mixed, but we do have a strong Japanese presence in the Alien mythos.

How about Ken Watanabe as a W-Y exec? Another possibility is Hiroyuki Sanada of recent science fiction dramas Helix and Extant.

Breaking Bad's Tuco (Raymond Cruz) was already in Alien Resurrection, but darn it if it wouldn't be fun to see him as some sort of hard ass space trucker or member of a deep space salvage team. I mean if this is truly a retcon or alternate sequel continuity...

I don't know if there are any Black Sails fans here, but there are two actors in that who could be interesting in an Alien film. Zach McGowan, who plays pirate Capt. Charles Vane would make for a good space trucker or mercenary. There's also Toby Stephens of Die Another Day fame (or is it infamy), who is also Capt. Flint on Black Sails, and would be a interesting choice for a W-Y exec, space trucker, scientist, or synthetic.

-Mitch Pileggi

Xenos wouldn't have a chance against Mitch Pileggi. Not sure he can be in it for that reason.

Is everyone going to be bald in this one? Maybe it truly is some bizarro world Alien 3?

Any and all people from the BSG cast.

You guys also think BSG was one of the best sci fi series ive seen in the last 15 years? i watched it recently all the seasons and movies,
it was f**king epic!! this was so underrated as f**k.

"It's in the FRAKKINNN SHIPPP!!!!"

The new BSG is one of my favorite shows. Maybe my top favorite TV series, both drama or in sci-fi. It's up there with the original Twilight Zone and Outer Limits, and The X-Files, Star Trek, Star Trek TNG.

If you haven't already, check out Farscape. It's a bit zany and some of the effects are a bit dated (but cool, since there's lots of puppets and practical effects work). It's sort of like Blake's 7 meets Guardians of the Galaxy, but a little darker in some ways and just a ton of fun. It's even got a biomechanoid ship that is slightly reminiscent of Giger's stuff. Although not as psychosexual.

Just gonna leave this here.

Remember Starkiller in BSG? just epic to see that.
Heck im such a fanboy i just picked up a shirt with the BSG Pegasus logo on it

Ps. will check Farscape out.

[SuperM]

Aidan Gillen as CIA.

[Ballzanya]

The woman from Pitch Black and Farscape. What's her name? Claudia Black?

[Corporal Hicks]

Don't think Claudia Black was ever in Pitch Black but she was in Farscape and Stargate.

[Gash]

Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Bernard Bresslaw, Peter Butterworth, and Jim Dale as the hero obviously.

But alas only Jim Dale is available, but looking good as a stand-in for Hicks.

[Corporal Hicks]

Mike Dopud. I always loved him in SG Universe.

[The Alien Predator]

Aww, I really wanted Sharlto Copley to be in this... so I can hear him go "yer a sneeky fooken' zeenomurf eh?" But apparently he might not be in this.

But if not Sharlto, then Vin Diesel. Gotta have Riddick in this! 

[𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔈𝔦𝔤𝔥𝔱𝔥 𝔓𝔞𝔰𝔰𝔢𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔯]

But if not Sharlto, then Vin Diesel. Gotta have Riddick in this! 

He can play Junior (aka Rape Goggles).

[DUB1]

Heather Hemmens. As the protagonist.

[Corporal Hicks]

Aww, I really wanted Sharlto Copley to be in this... so I can hear him go "yer a sneeky fooken' zeenomurf eh?" But apparently he might not be in this.

I'm sure he will be in it. He just said he wasn't in it at the moment.

[Xenomorphine]

Don't think Claudia Black was ever in Pitch Black but she was in Farscape and Stargate.

Her character has an early death in it.

I'm constantly amazed that woman isn't in more things - she has perfect comic-timing and aptitude for action stuff. One of the faces I was hoping to see in a third 'Ghostbusters', for that very reason.

I'd genuinely rate her Aeryn Sun right alongside Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor, as one of the very best strong female action heroines on screen.

[Corporal Hicks]

Wow. Had no idea. Guess it's been too long since I saw that film. Her character really annoyed me to start with in Stargate but she eventually became quite strong and fun.
