I've already pitched my Justice League movie as part of my ideal DCEU, but here's who the cast would be.
Superman - Tyler Hoechlin
While I like Henry Cavill as an actor, his portrayal of Superman is a little too angsty. Hoechlin, who plays the Man of Steel in Supergirl, perfectly captures the fun yet serious side of the character that we know and love. Therefore, Hoechlin is the best choice to play Superman in a movie.
Batman - Christian Bale
This is likely never gonna happen, but this whole post is about dreaming. So, if you've seen the DK trilogy, you know that there will likely never be a better Batman than Christian Bale, who captured everything about the character, from his darkness and angst to his sense of humor.
Wonder Woman - Gal Gadot
If there's one DCEU actor who's truly captured the spirit of their character, it's Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. Her portrayal of the character is strong, brave and beautiful. The role fits on her like a glove.
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) - Ryan Reynolds
The 2011 Green Lantern movie had its problems, but Ryan Reynolds' portrayal as the titular character wasn't one of them. He actually fits this role really well, so he would absolutely be in this cast.
Green Lantern (John Stewart) - Idris Elba
Idris Elba literally looks exactly like John Stewart, and the role would fit him well. He plays Heimdall very well (or did before he died in Infinity War), so he's already used to playing a superhero with amazing powers.
Flash (Barry Allen) - Grant Gustin
Ezra Miller's funny and all, but Grant Gustin captures every aspect of the Flash in his portrayal.
Aquaman - Justin Hartley
The Smallville version of Aquaman was cool and light, while Jason Momoa's portrayal is a little too edgy. Hartley, who is older now, would make a great Aquaman. They'd just have to make a better costume.
Cyborg - Michael B. Jordan
While Ray Fisher's portrayal of Cyborg in Justice League was slightly wooden, Michael B. Jordan would capture the youth and fun of the character as well as his seriousness.
Green Arrow - Stephen Amell
This is probably my most obvious casting choice. Stephen Amell's portrayal as Green Arrow is flawless. If I hadn't cast him as Green Arrow, I would have failed this city.
Martian Manhunter - Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel has everything needed to play J'onn J'onnz: a deep voice, muscles and a round head. There's not much else needed to play Martian Manhunter.
Shazam - John Cena
John Cena would do perfectly as Shazam. He has the muscles and humor to ensure that.
