Will Smith plays Barack Obama in a world where secret U.S. forces storm a mansion in Pakistan for the most important counterterrorism mission in U.S. history and only one man has the guts for the job. That’s probably how the trailer will start when the movie about the death of Osama bin Laden is made.
One can only assume that the script for the movie is being written as we read this post, so we are going to get a jump on the Hollywood casting departments and cast what is likely to be one of the biggest movies in the history of Hollywood.
Will Smith seems like the obvious choice to play Barack, but who could pull off Osama? Who will fill the roles of the small contingent of the Navy’s elite SEAL Team Six? Well, we have an idea of a few people who might be perfect for these roles and more.
Keep reading and check out who we would cast in our Osama bin Laden movie.

Jeffrey Wright as Osama bin Laden: This multi-Talented actor could play Osama Bin Laden better than anyone we know. Not only does he have the look, he was able to play people like a Latin street thug and Martin Luther King and make it believable.

Matt Damon as lead Elite SEAL Six member: Matt Damon has become known for his political views and his military-inspired roles. So when it comes to actors who could pull off a mission like this, we want Matt.

Aziz Ansari as “The Courier:” Osama was being supported by a trusted ‘Courier’ and we’d like to think that this role could go to Aziz. Kanye’s favorite comedian could provide a small bit of comic relief while playing a role that puts him outside of his comfort zone.

Channing Tatum as Elite Navy SEAL Six member: With his boyish good looks and ability to shoot bullets with his glare, we think he’d fit right in on the mission to storm the mansion.

Dev Patel as Osama bin Laden’s Son: Dev Patel won hearts in “Slumdog Millionaire,” but now as Osama’s son he can evoke a different emotion in the minds of millions of people who will see this film.

Ice Cube as Elite Navy SEAL Six member: O’Shea Jackson is no stranger to holding the big guns, so we think he will make a good fit in the group of soldiers who storm the mansion to kill Osama. Would Ice make the kill shot?

Zoe Saldana as Michelle Obama: While casting Michelle might be the hardest role to fill, we think Zoe Saldana has the look to pull off Michelle Obama.
