Egyptian Superheroes

Superhero movies are a special kind of entertaining, don’t you think? No matter the hero or the premise, somehow we’re always dying to know more and more every time a movie like that is out.

But you know what else we’re dying to find out, really? We’re dying to find out if our entertainment industry has what it takes to cast a superhero…and, well, we took the liberty of doing just that right here!

Yehia El-Fakharany as a Professor X type

He’s legendary, incredibly intelligent, and could easily advise young heroes to strive for their full potential. Are we talking about Professor X or Yehia El-Fakharany? Who knows!

Asmaa Abuelyazeid as a Scarlet Witch type

A young heroine struggling with her powers and several other issues. And we’d like to see this type of character played by Asmaa Abuelyazeid because she’ll kill it.

Ahmed Helmy as an Antman type

What? You already know Ahmed Helmy has the same Paul Rudd-ish charm as well as the humor and sheer acting skills to pull off this role.

Asser Yassin as a Batman type

Sure, you may raise your eyebrow right about now but we have one thing to tell you. Remember that whole Posh Rich Man (ft. cigar) Act Asser Yassin had been doing this summer? Yeah, now it makes sense.

Sherihan as a Wonder Woman type

No matter how much time has passed, Sherihan will remain an iconic Egyptian figure…just like Wonder Woman is an iconic superhero we’d like to see her embody.

Ghada Abdelrazik as an Emma Frost type

Technically, Emma Frost isn’t exactly a hero rather than a villain but that’s not important here. What’s important is that she and Ghada Abdelrazik have the same Tough Woman energy and that’s hard to replicate.

Ahmed El-Sakka as an Incredible Hulk type

Already a burst of energy away from anything, Ahmed El-Sakka would make for the perfect Hulk and you already know it. There’s no point in denying it, is there?

Karim Abdelaziz as a Daredevil type

Whether it’s in a posh suit or a red-leather suit, we all need to see Karim Abdelaziz get into the game by being something of a righteous antihero.

Nelly Karim as a Black Widow type

A stoic spy who’s been through severe trauma after much brainwashing and general hell would be the perfect role for none other than our own Nelly Karim. Bring on the red wig!

Nisreen Amin as a Black Canary type

Maybe it’s the uncanny resemblance, maybe it’s the fact that Nisreen Amin could kill this role. We just don’t know our motive, but we do know we’d like to see this happen.

Khaled Anwar as a Spiderman type

Did anyone call for Khaled Anwar as the friendly neighborhood Spiderman? No? Well, if the powers-that-be choose to reboot the hero for the sixty-seventh time we have the perfect actor for them!

Mohamed Farag as a Hawkeye type

Stoic with a lot of secrets and a scarily perfect aim, Hawkeye has a lot of layers to uncover…a perfect job for none other than Mohamed Farag, don’t you think?

Which other actors would you cast as superheroes?
