![]() Ron’s final battle with Wesley Snipes is a taste of what we’d get as Perlman’s Grune battles Snipes, our pick as Panthro. Having most recently played biker-gang leader Clay Morrow on Sons of Anarchy, a good indicator of what Perlman’s version of Grune would look like is his role as Reinhardt in Blade 2. Known for his distinct and powerful voice, one can easily imagine Perlman snarling out lines as the saber-toothed tiger Grune. The 2011 incarnation of Grune is basically the same except that he starts out as a friend to Panthro instead of Jaga. Exiled into space, Grune eventually makes his way to Third Earth where he’s resurrected to seek his revenge on the remaining Thundercats. His thirst for power led to a failed rebellion against King Claudus. In the original 1985 series, Grune, or Grune the Destroyer, was once a respected and revered Thundercat warrior that fought alongside Jaga on Thundera. That experience along with his unique and intimidating stature is the perfect combination to play Thundercat turned bad guy, Grune. ![]() Having played memorable characters like Hellboy and the Beast (TV’s Beauty and The Beast), Ron Perlman’s been able to deliver compelling performances even when his face is covered in extensive prosthetics and make-up. The type of characteristics we’d like to see James bring to Vultureman would be similar to his performance as an inept criminal in Snatch. Besides hiding his accent well, James’ ability to camouflage himself into any role he does is what’s made him an in-demand actor. Most people would be surprised to learn that the man behind Morgan Jones is British, but that just goes to show how good of an actor Lennie is. Our version of the character will be done via motion capture and the right actor to bring this crafty villain to life is The Walking Dead’s Lennie James. With the humanoid appearance of a giant vulture, Vultureman’s design - just like the other mutants - would be difficult to make look good using a rubber costume. He’s Slithe’s go-to every time the lizard leader needs a weapon or machine. He’s the resident inventor and mechanic that’s usually busy creating potions to defeat his enemies or working on vehicles and weaponry such as his Sk圜utter air crafts. Vultureman is the brains behind the muscles and ugly the rest of the members provide. Let’s start things off with Vultureman, the high flying member of the evil mutants found on Third Earth.
