I think you only have gender when you take human form... but then the demons tend to pick one and stick to it.
I did love that Sam's crossroads demon was a guy, though.
I was nicely surprised that Anna was a woman, because it didn't seem clear what her gender was an angel. But then the angels have always been identified as men in mythology, so it's not surprising (even if it is a little disappointing) that they've all taken male vessels.
God has been portrayed so many different ways on screen, I'm not sure there's much they could do, casting wise, to go outside the box. I'm also not convinced we're actually going to see God.

So have the angels, haven't they?
I'd be surprised if Kripke et al go against all the father talk and cast a woman in charge of everything. It doesn't seem their speed.

I don't remember seeing an angel with more than one vessel.
Castiel did briefly take on Jimmy's daughter as a host, so there is some crossover.
Part of me would like to see Betty White in angry swearing Lake Placid mode as God.
Gabriel has pretended to be many men, but really only the one host, I think.

This makes sense. One running theme has been the recurring masculine familial relationships - brother/brother and father/son(s). God would have to be a father figure in that scenario, so a woman probably won't work.
I don't have any predictions for God casting but I still hope for a Cate Blanchett Michael.
As long as they don't go with the burning bush again.
David Steinberg routine:
Moses approached the bush that was burning and not consumed - and burned his feet. God said, "Ha! Third one today."
Okay, I don't want anyone to play God - I don't think there is a need for it. I hope they don't cast the role and allow some mystery there.
I suppose they could (as was discussed awhile back here) cast God as an every person and have God's image be ever-changing. That would be my second choice.
May I say how vehemently opposed I am to all of the choices listed there. I mean WTF.
Anyway, my suggestions to add to the list if they have to cast it: Anna Deavere Smith, Ian McShane, Michael K. Williams, Patrick Stewart
Samuel L. Jackson. Motherfuckin Yaweh on a plane!
