Friday Night Lights' Minka Kelly, Adrianne Palicki and Scott Porter are among the host of fresh young faces currently taking part in director George Miller's two-day marathon casting session for Justice League of America, says the Hollywood Reporter. Miller has some 40 up-and-comers on his radar for the comic-book-based film, which is looking to fill the costumes of Superman, Wonder Woman (Jessica Biel "passed"), Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter.

Others on yesterday and today's short list include Adam Brody ( The O.C.), Mary Elizabeth Winstead ( Grindhouse), Michael Anganaro ( Will & Grace), Teresa Palmer ( Wolf Creek) and rapper Common.
