6 Ways To Ace A Captain Planet Movie

5. Cast Don Cheadle

Captain Planet Pointing At You

Everyone knows Don Cheadle is Captain Planet. He's already played the role in a Funny or Die skit and it would be both meme-worthy and solid casting to put him in the role in a legit movie.

Also he bridges the gap between the two generations mentioned in the previous point. Kids of the nineties remember his work from as early as 1988 including a stint on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Golden Girls, and as Private Washburn in Hamburger Hill. The newer generations will know him as Rhodes version 2.0 in the Avengers franchise.

We're not saying Cheadle is a 100% must, but he would be a solid pick for the green-haired, super-powered activist.

Other popular choices from fans are Channing Tatum or Chris Hemsworth, Jason Momoa, or maybe even Dwayne Johnson. All quality choices.
