THE ULTIMATES - Fix the World! | MARVEL COMIC DUB

Role:
Lead

Description:
Once known as Reed Richards, this world's Doom is a brilliant scientist whose life was devastated by the Maker's intervention. Now operating behind a mask and burdened by the knowledge of what was done to him and his world, Doom is one of the most intellectually formidable members of the Ultimates. He is deeply connected to the team's larger mission and carries a tremendous amount of emotional baggage beneath his reserved, serious exterior. His relationship with Tony Stark and his complicated history with the Maker make him one of the story's central dramatic figures.

Casting:
Needs strong dramatic range; intelligent, restrained, and capable of conveying enormous emotion without constantly raising his voice. Ontop of all that, sounding super depressed, add that layer into your auditions!

Role:
Lead

Age:
16-18

Description:
Charli Ramsey is a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation who discovers advanced archery equipment originally intended for another potential Hawkeye. Rather than simply inheriting the identity, Charli makes it her own. She's resourceful, courageous, and determined to use the technology to protect people. Her recruitment represents the Ultimates' growing roster and their effort to inspire a new generation of heroes.

Casting: Grounded, confident, youthful, and determined without sounding overly aggressive. Slight chip on his soldier, street smart.

Role:
Lead

Age:
28-30

Description:
Janet is Hank Pym's wife and one of the team's most enthusiastic recruits. Unlike Hank, Janet embraces her newfound abilities almost immediately and adapts remarkably quickly to superhero life. She's energetic, capable, and confident, but her seemingly straightforward enthusiasm hides a more complicated situation: she is secretly being manipulated as a double agent by Nick Fury's forces.

Casting:
Energetic and charismatic, with the ability to shift convincingly into more serious and conflicted scenes.

Role:
Lead

Age:
28-30

Description:
Hank Pym is a brilliant scientist whose life has taken a very different path in Earth-6160. Initially reluctant to become a superhero, Hank joins the Ultimates alongside his wife, Janet. His scientific knowledge makes him extremely valuable, but his history and the damage done to his intellect leave him carrying considerable insecurity. His journey is partly about rediscovering the person he could have been and finding the courage to become a hero in his own right.

Casting:
Nerdy/intelligent without being stereotypical; hesitant at first but capable of becoming commanding. Very normal person sounding, that can turn into a reluctant, yet confident, superhero.

Role:
Lead

Age:
Around 19-21

Description:
America Chavez is a mysterious young woman rescued from the Maker's regime after being imprisoned and exploited as a source of power. She initially has little understanding of her own past, but gradually discovers that her history is far more complicated than she realized. Powerful, determined, and independent, America becomes an important member of the Ultimates while trying to figure out exactly where she belongs. Her experiences give her a particularly personal connection to the team's fight against the forces controlling their world.

Casting:
Confident, emotionally vulnerable underneath, and capable of projecting strength. Hopeful energy in all she says.

Role:
Lead

Age:
35-40

Description:
Lejori is a native of Monster Island whose life was permanently changed by Bruce Banner's gamma experiments. She is the only member of her people to develop functional superpowers and takes on the responsibility of protecting them. Rather than immediately trusting the Ultimates, Lejori is understandably suspicious of outsiders. She eventually agrees to work with the team when Tony offers to help restore her damaged homeland.

Casting:
Strong and intimidating when necessary, but fundamentally compassionate and protective. Motherly.

Role:
Major Supporting

Age:
Physically 30ish, but actually 1,000+

Description:
Sif is a fierce Asgardian warrior and one of the Ultimates' earliest allies. A veteran fighter and devoted protector of her people, she brings centuries of experience and a strong warrior's sense of honor to the team. Sif is confident and direct, but she's not simply a stereotypical warrior—she possesses a strong sense of responsibility toward the people and worlds she protects.

Casting:
Commanding, regal, physically confident, and occasionally intimidating. Has a soft spot for Thor, they are lovers. Never backs down from a fight.

Role:
Major Supporting

Age:
He is an 80 year old Robot, but physically like 25

Description:
Jim Hammond is the original Human Torch—a synthetic human created decades earlier who fought alongside Captain America during World War II. After spending years confined in a Damage Control facility, Jim is rescued by the Ultimates and given a chance to reclaim the heroic identity he once carried. He's a fascinating contrast to the younger members of the team: an artificial man with decades of memories and experience who is trying to understand a world that moved on without him.

Casting:
Mature and dignified, with an old-fashioned quality without becoming a caricature. Make him sound somewhat robotic.

Role:
Main Villain

Age:
45-50

Description:
Bruce Banner is one of the most dangerous figures in this universe. Rather than becoming the misunderstood hero associated with other versions of the Hulk, Banner is aligned with the Maker's regime and conducts horrific gamma experiments. His work on Gamma Island directly affects Lejori and her people, putting him into direct conflict with the Ultimates. He represents the terrifying consequences of science being placed completely in the service of power.

Casting:
Highly intelligent, cold, unsettling, and capable of suddenly becoming terrifying when his Hulk persona emerges. Scarily calm deep voice.

Role:
Major Supporting

Age:
25-30

Description
Luke Cage is the Ultimates' powerhouse with a strong connection to ordinary people and the communities they're trying to protect. As Power Man, Luke brings tremendous physical strength but also a grounded, street-level perspective. He isn't interested in grand speeches or complicated scientific theories—he's interested in helping people and standing up when someone needs protecting.

Casting: Deep, confident, relaxed, and charismatic.

Role:
Supporting Antagonist

Age:
55-60

Description:
Nick Fury operates from the shadows and represents one of the most complicated forces surrounding the Ultimates. His organization uses advanced technology and manipulation to influence events, and his connection to Janet makes him particularly important to the team's internal conflicts. Fury should feel like someone who is always several steps ahead of everyone else.

Casting:
Calm, authoritative, secretive, and intimidating without needing to shout.

Role:
Supporting Villain

Age:
Physically 28-30, actually 1000+

Description:
Loki brings a completely different flavor to the story. A master of deception and manipulation, Loki is intelligent, theatrical, and impossible to completely trust. His presence adds mystery and supernatural intrigue to a story otherwise dominated by science and technology.

Casting:
Smooth, clever, playful, and slightly unsettling. When he is narrating, (first two audition lines) he should be much calmer and retrospective. By then he has become the God of Stories while he is looking back at his life.

Role:
Supporting Villain

Age:
73

Description:
James Buchanan Barnes, known simply as "Bucky," was a close friend of Steve Rogers. Bucky subsequently reemerged as the mysterious fifth individual to bear the mantle of the Grand Skull and assume leadership of the North American Union neo-Nazi movement known as the Red Skulls.

Casting:
Bucky is a bitter, old Nazi who should have a gruff, old voice. He should be super evil and despicable, having no redeeming qualities. Be mean.

Role:
Supporting Villain

Age:
70-80

Description
President Midas is a powerful political and corporate figure connected to the Maker's Council. He operates as the Council's representative within the United States and uses his position to further their interests. Most importantly, he is responsible for keeping America Chavez imprisoned and exploiting her powers. His polished public image contrasts sharply with what happens behind closed doors.

Casting: Polished and authoritative publicly; sinister and controlling underneath.

Role:
Supporting Antagonist

Age:
13-14

Emma Frost found Wanda and her twin brother, Pietro, in a Eurasian weapons lab. She trained them to act as operatives for the Hellfire Club and their associates. They are sent out as pawns to attack the enemies of the Hellfire Club.

Casting:
Young, and impressionable. Very shy and unsure, protective of her brother. Forced to be a child soldier.

Role:
Supporting

Age:
13-14

Description:
Emma Frost found Pietro and his twin sister Wanda in a Eurasian weapons lab. She trained them to act as operatives for the Hellfire Club and their associates. He would also be used as a blood boy for Emmanuel Da Costa. Pietro is forced to be their child soldier, indoctrinated into it.

Casting:
Angry and bitter at the world, very emotionally intense and moody, like a teen with too much energy and he lashes out.

Role:
Supporting

Age:
10

Description:
Shen Qi was a human man born circa 8,000 BC, when he trained to become master of every martial art and, then, the 8th wielder of the Iron Fist. Around 2015, Shen Qi reincarnated himself: even from birth, he performed incredible actions, such as invoking a Dragon the place of his birth and taming wild animals. The Iron Fist at the time was Hulk, the ferocious despot of K'un-Lun, who, having heard rumors about the baby, intended to eliminate him, as he felt the reborn Shen Qi could have been a threat to his authority. Fortunately, Shen Qi's present day followers, known as "those of the red robe", succeeded in hiding the boy for years in Tibet

Casting:
Calm, disciplined, thoughtful, and understated.

Role:
Supporting

Age:
24-28

Description:
Danny Rand is an American freedom fighter and member of the Ultimates Network. In this universe, Danny is not initially a wealthy heir or established superhero. He is an inmate at Gordium Correctional Facility, where he befriends Luke Cage. Cage introduces Danny and other prisoners to anti-penal-system ideas, eventually helping them organize a resistance that leads to a prison revolt and takeover of Gordium.

Casting:
Meek with a surfer dude type voice. Think Greg Cipes. Heart of gold, person who wants to do the right thing, even when it's hard.

Role:
Supporting

Age:
Unknown

Description:
Captain Marvel was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, called the Protector of the Universe and wielder of the Omni Bands. She had a relationship with fellow Guardian America Chavez, having many adventures and memories together.

Role:
Smaller Role

Age:
55-65

Description:
The original Earth-6160 timeline had a Star-Lord serving as a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the 61st century. When the Maker rewrote history, the Guardians' civilization was thrown into chaos and scattered across time. Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, Cosmo, and the Ultimate Nullifier were among those affected. Star-Lord is known as the lord of the Twelve Houses and the land beyond the sun.

Casting:
Experienced, adventurous, and accustomed to operating on an intergalactic scale, he carries the perspective of someone from a civilization that existed thousands of years beyond the present day.

Role:
Smaller Role

Age:
Who knows? He's a spacedog. Sounds like a sophisticated older scholar

Description:
Cosmo Starstalker is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy from Earth-6160's original 61st-century timeline. A mysterious cosmic traveler connected to Captain Marvel and Star-Lord, Cosmo possesses knowledge and experience from a civilization thousands of years ahead of the present day.

Casting:
I want an quirky, sophisticated male voice for Cosmo. For a reference, try to sound like a more endearing version of Ross Marquand as Rudy in Invincible.

Role:
Smaller Role

Age:
20-25

Description:
Ultimate Nullifier was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. In a duel with Mephisto on Pandermonium, Ultimate Nullifier shot the demon through the heart with a Ø-Bullet, erasing the concept of eternal suffering from the universe.

Casting:
Very pompous, cocky voice. This character is the best they is at what they do and they know it. Spoiled, bratty young adult tone. Not too high pitched though.
