The cast of Warner Bros.' live-action Justice League of America movie is expected to be unveiled next week, but new reports claim to reveal several actors who have been cast in the George Miller-directed project.

According to both Ain't It Cool News and IESB.net, previously reported contenders Adam Brody (The O.C.), Common (American Gangster), Teresa Palmer (Wolf Creek) and Scott Porter (TV's Friday Night Lights) have won roles in the film.

Brody is said to be playing Wally West, a.k.a. The Flash, opposite Common as John Stewart, the Green Lantern.

IESB says that, contrary to earlier reports, Palmer is not going to play Wonder Woman but rather one of the film's villains, Talia Al Ghul. Talia is the daughter of Ra's Al Ghul, portrayed by Liam Neeson in Batman Begins.

AICN claims Porter might be playing Superman, but IESB counters by saying, "our sources are telling us that he was up for the role of The Flash against Adam Brody and obviously Brody won out, we've heard nothing about him being cast as Superman."

Barry Allen, the original Flash, is reportedly in the movie. Might Porter have been cast as him instead of Wally West? Or perhaps he's playing Batman? We'll know soon enough.

AICN's source also adds that "Michael Gough might be appearing as Alfred." Gough played Batman's faithful butler in the Tim Burton-Joel Schumacher Bat-films.

Rumor has it that Warner Bros. might finally and officially announce the cast of its live-action Justice League of America movie as early as tomorrow.

Moviehole.net claims "the cast is a lock as of today." (One reported cast member is unknown actor Armie Hammer, who is said to be playing Batman. According to IMDB.com, Armie Hammer, who is no relation to Navie Wrench, is actually the great-grandson of industrialist Armand Hammer. Holy baking soda, Batman! The 6'5", 21 year-old Hammer's possible casting was first reported by Batman-on-Film.com.)

Moviehole also disputes a recent story in The Hollywood Reporter that said production might be delayed due to the ongoing Writers Guild strike. According to Moviehole, "the film is still definitely on track."

CinemaBlend.com, however, counters that, citing a source who claims the JLA filmmakers "don't have a finished script and can't work on it until the strike is over, and there's no studio space at Fox Sydney... so maybe one of these productions will have to move to Docklands studios Melbourne (but The Pacific is taking up all the stages there) or Warner Bros Studios on the Gold Coast."
