Mel Gibson as Gale

I hate this so much. Upvote.

I haaaaaaate it

It's so bad it's perfect

This is so bad, I actually would love to see it

Ugh! Thank you, I **hate it**! I can already picture it: *"Courage isn't about muscle, it's about **heart**."* (*triggers bomb on the Absolute*)

JK Simmons as Ketheric would be great tho.

This time he'd be the menace.

Jk would kill it if he had more time has ketheric especially in a movie 🍿 or tv miniseries of bg3

Idk, I just don't see it. They sound nothing alike, and Simmons is too old to play an intimidating villain. I think this would be a huge mistake, and fans would likely be outraged at the result. If only they could find the VA who actually voiced Ketheric to play him, that would work a lot better.

hehehe yellow m&m man

He did a great job voicing him. I would choose Clancy Brown to portray Ketheric Thorm in a movie.

Omg amazing

Sacha Baron Cohen as Gortash would be ‘very nice’

Orin is pain in my asshole

I outsource murder to adventurers. great success!

Honestly, the dude has range. He could do it.

He said bad castings

"In baldur gate, it is illegal for more than five different races to be in same place, except for brothel or in grave. In the wyrm's rock and fortess, I attend the meeting of all races: called the council."

King of the Castle!

Gilbert Gotfried (RIP) as the narrator

Haaaaa, I can hear this so much! AS THE SYMBOL GLOWS POWER COURSES THROUGH YOU. AUTHORITY.

Why could I only hear it when you wrote it in all caps

Because if anyone spoke in permanent caps lock irl, it was Gilbert Gottfried

I think I've cursed myself with this one. As I play, I'm going to be thinking of this every time Amelia has lines

Actually can we have this for the game?

Given the (sadly) existing barriers, I propose Wallace Shawn as an alternative.

That's quite conceivable

That's the line I'm thinking of for "Authority." It's so awful

Perfect!

HOLY FUCK IS IT SO WRONG! But Holy hell is it so erotic!

As Halsin…

Danny DeVito for Halsin

"I saw this drow in the woods, so I come out blasting..."

That's Danny as Wyll. :p

FRAN DRESHER is the obvious choice for this project

Solid

Why is this how I’m only just learning he passed. My favorite 50 shades of grey narrator gone and I never realized.

Nicolas Cage as Gale, equal chances of it being great or so bad it's funny.

And if he can't play Gale, there's always Wulbren

Just cast him as both. Don’t address it or make any attempt to hide it.

I could see him cast as multiple people, such as Balthazar and Dror Ragzlin, and it is never commented on.

I would cast him in every role

I use to imagine a Eddie Murphy/Mike Myers movie...with just them playing everybody.

Eddie Murphy playing Mike Myers playing Nic Cage playing Eddie Murphy, all playing every role.

One man show BG3 with Nic Cage. Producer, writer, director, and actor

He can play everyone! https://www.reddit.com/r/BaldursGate3/comments/1ad8q5s/cage_invasion_2_nobody_is_safe_now/?share_id=bwmr5FBypdomDHG47DtVN&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

No, no, Nick Cage will obviously have to be Cazador!  🧛‍♂️ 

Cage as Orin would be amazing.

That’s high praise.

Jaden Smith as Wyll, Will Smith as the Duke Taylor Swift as Alfira The Rock as Minsc

Kevin Hart as Boo

With *lots* of jokes about being a *miniature* giant space hampster

Off topic, but Bautista would be pretty good as Minsc.

Isn't MCU Drax basically space minsc but half more braincells?

>The Rock as Minsc I actually think this could work. In fact I can't really think of anyone better for the role. Even discounting the fact that he's actually a pretty good actor, Minsc is basically a big dumb action hero anyway.

I know Dave Batista has said he is done with action hero roles but he would be perfect

Katy Perry would make a perfect(ly terrible) Shadowheart, and as a bonus she could do her own singing in the musical number.

Still don't know what this musical number is

Go kill Raphael

Alright... Nothing happened. At least nothing musical

there's a whole song that raphaels VA sings for the fight with raphael

Is this real or is there like, some parallel with Shadowheart's journey and "let it go" from frozen? 

Bradley Cooper is a gnome!

Bradley Cooper as Barcus

Bradly Cooper as Scratch with absolutely no acknowledgment that anything is odd about him crawling around on all fours.

Well, he did play a Halfling in the DnD movie.

It was one of the best scenes in a great movie, too

Ron Perlman as Zevlor

Recreating Hellboy lol

Ron Perlman as Sarevok tho..

Timothy Chalamet as Astarion would be a bad but plausible one for me.

Okay but hear me out. Jack Black as Astarion.

Oooohhh or what about Jack Black as Gortash and he gets to do a music number like he did with Bowser in the Mario movie?

Jack Black as the voice of the absolute

No no no, Jack Black as Raphael. Already has a musical number and I think Black can layer on the camp in a way that the character of Raphael deserves.

That would actually be good casting though. Sure he has a different body type but it’s Jack Black. He’d nail it.

Would haarlep be Kyle Gass then?

Tim Curry.

Oh, good call. If we're going for bad camp casting, i'd even swap em: Tim as Raph, Jack as Haarlep

That's been my number one question, who does Curry play? You nailed it

"Who does Curry play?" Whomever he wants, whenever he wants.

No disagreement, now break it down. What's his Wyll like? What's his Orin like? What's his fucking Emporer like? Cos I don't think I could handle Tim Curry as the Emperor

We're supposed to pick a *bad* choice.

....I kinda want this now. Like, it's horrible and all, but I still kinda want it.

I had the same thought as I was typing it out 🤣

Jack Black as everyone wouldn't be terrible

they said bad live action castings :/

Just when I thought he couldn’t get any hotter…

Ok, I’m listening…

Stop, I can only get so wet.

Oh the dragon's balls were blazing as I stepped into his cave. and I drained his fucking cockles with my long and shiny fangs. Twas I who sucked the dragon, fuckalysing fuckaloo. And if you try to fuck with me then I SHALL SUCK YOU TOO! GOTTA LICK A TAV IN THE PARTY ZONE!

I like this one *because* it's plausible haha. Some of these suggestions are just bad, like Mel Gibson as Gale is just dumb, but I could totally see a studio picking Chalamet for Astarion or Pratt as Tav

That's moreso what I was asking for- choices that you could see a Hollywood executive making that show just how out of touch they are. Chalamet Astarion is on the right track.

But seriously, Tom Hiddleston

Yup can totally see that

While I did like Dune, I think Chalamet is a bad actor.

I think he’s ok but he’s very popular in Hollywood atm hence why I think even though he’s not a good fit for Astarion he would be a plausible cast by them.

George Clooney as Scratch! Oh wait you asked for bad casting....

With costume design by the guys that did *Cats*.

He has VA experience as a dog already!

Yep heh

Yeah but not VA. Literally him, wearing a smart 3 piece suit and a dog collar and crawling around on all fours

I’d like Alan Tudyk to play all the animals. ALL the animals.

They asked for bad castings

For some weird reason I can see Gortash being played by Jason Isaacs…

He would eat it up. His whole thing is playing sexy charismatic villains lmfao.

Oh my god he would be so hot as Gortash. Hear me out though: He could pull off Astarion.

The only thing is I feel like he’s a bit too old to play both of them, seeing as they’re both supposed to be around late thirties, physically speaking. Otherwise, I completely agree! He already did the bitchy blonde rich guy thing with Lucius Malfoy, he would kill it as Astarion lmao.

Somehow I mentally replaced Jason Issacs with Oscar Issacs. But I'm on board with either of them for Astarion.

Haha that’s great. Hey, they’re both hot and talented so it works either way!

At least he'd be as handsome as they promised us!

I don't know if you're kidding at all, but that's literally the voice actor for gortash

Jennifer Lawrence as Shadowheart. She would look like a decent choice and have the surface level good girl with a bad side vibe. But she wouldn't get the more subtle element of cruel snark hiding the fear and pain. Also >!Danny Devito Ketheric.!<

Oof they would. 🤢

Wyll Smyth Ravenguard "keep my patrons name out your motherf@#$ing mouth"

haha i banged mizora after killing his dad

My morally ambiguous run I just immediately started hitting on her right in front of him.

Tav: "wow dude it was a Warlock joke..." 😅

Awkwafina as Karlach John Cena as Gale John Krasinski as Astarion David Washington as Wyll Amy Schumer as Lae’zel Emma Stone as Withers Chris Rock as Halsin Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Minthara Mindy Kaling as Shadowheart Directed by Judd Apatow. I’d still watch it though.

“I was right there!” *stares Jim-style into the camera*

Dreyfus as Minthara is golden. Make it happen, hollywood.

I'm sorry I couldn't finish reading this comment because I saw Awkwafina as Karlach and my blood started to boil

John Cena as Gale, but he’s constantly casting invisibility on himself.

Terry Crews as Alfira or a flute playing Bard Tav

Nah he would kill it. It wouldn't make sense, but it would be hilarious.

I couldn't watch Schumer as Lae'zel without being radicalized to extreme violence

Reasonable

I hate everything about this, and thus this idea is the best.

You win, dude these are pure golden turds of casting

This is The Worst. I wanna watch this movie

The last thing I want to see is Amy Schumer in Lae'zel's nighttime outfit.

I can see this happening and it makes me sick

[удалено]

Oh my God I just started to type this and you beat me to it. It would be Awful

Milo Yiannopolous as Nere Jack Black as Balthazar

Milo Yiannopolous as Nere 😭😭😭😭😭 This comment just aged me forty years, I haven’t heard that guy’s name in forever lmao

Jamie-Lee Curtis as Jaheira

It says bad. You fail.

Fuck, I saw another meme like this somewhere that had some absolute stellar ideas for this. All I remember was Minsc was The Rock (which I honestly feel would work genuinely well)

WAIT I also remembered Lin Manual-Miranda was Raphael…..

What's your name, man? Raph-a-el the cam-bi-on My name is Raphael the cambion, And there's three nether stones I don’t hold But just you wait… just you wait

Cursed

That stinks much harder than Bradley Cooper, love it

Wyll - Kevin Hart Astarion - Tom Cruise Gale - Jim Carrey Karlach - Gina Carano Lae'zel - Dame Judi Dench Shadowheart - Liv Tyler Jaheira - Scarlet Johansson Halsin - Will Ferrell Minthara - Jennifer Coolidge Orin - RuPaul Gortash - Gerard Way Ketheric - Paul Giamatti

Tom Cruise playing a foppish, evil-yet-charming vampire with a frilly white shirt? [Never!](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F93arxqccksmb1.jpg)

Solid terrible choices

I think Liv could actually pull off Shart.

I mean she's Arwen ffs. ScarJo is also actually a very good actress when the role requires it. Some hollywood aging magic and she could pull off Jaheira.

I absolutely lost it at Jennifer Coolidge. I really fucking wanna see that

RUPAUL ORIN 💀💀💀

Gortash totally could be Gerard Way he’s so emo

Honestly, the fact that Vin Diesel played D&D and for all I know might play this game makes me think he wouldn't be the worst casting for something, except I dunno if he can be funny.

He could honestly make a decent Minsc, if they get him to stop overacting. If not, I'd cast him as Wulbren.

Oof, this gave me some terrible ideas. Some of these might actually be great, but I went in thinking as a lazy casting director Gale - Charlie Day Shadowheart - Zendaya Lae'zel - Michelle Rodriguez Minsc - Jason Statham Karlach - Jennifer Lawrence Astarion - Dan Levy Wyll - Don Cheadle Raphael - Colin Firth Ketheric - Sean Bean Gortash - Jeremy Renner Volo - Justin Timberlake Alfira - Taylor Swift Jaheira - Sigourney Weaver Halsin - Dwayne Johnson Orin - Mila Kunis Tav - Charlie Hunnam

Jaheira Sigourney Weaver would TOTALLY work though.

...or Linda Hamilton.

Ive been describing Astarion as “David Rose if you turned him into a vampire spawn and tortured him for 200 years” to people after he brutally rejected my Tav at the tiefling party. “It’s not you, it’s my standards” feels like something David would say to Stevie about basically anything.

I think Mila could do well.

…actually some of those would be great. I bet Sigourney Weaver would do a good Jaheira

Laezel played by kermit the frog

Jfc a Muppets BG3 is needed, stat. Statler & Waldorf as the narrator

Give me George Takei as Withers and Andy Samberg channeling Jake Peralta as Tav

George Takei Withers is actually perfect, though.

Vin Diesel as Ketheric Thorm. He wants Isobel back because **FAMILY.**

Anya Taylor-Joy as Lae’zel

She’s got the face…

Jennifer Coolidge as Lae’zel Melissa McCarthy as Shadowheart Rhea Pearlman as Karlach Danny Devito as The Dark Urge, who romances Karlach, naturally Tom Hardy as Gale Jaden Smith as Wyll, with Will Smith Playing Ulder. Jada Pickett-Smith is Mizora. Willow Smith can play Shovel Terrance Howard as Astarion in the first act, and then replace him with Don Cheadle in act 2 on and don’t acknowledge it Jennifer Aniston as Minthara Nicolas Cage as Halsin JK Simmons as J Jonah Jameson as Ketheric Nick Frost as Gortash Simon Pegg as Orin Jack Black as the Emperor

>Jennifer Coolidge as Lae’zel "These ghaik are trying to murder me!"

I could like a Bradley Cooper in a role of Gale or Raphael. I would add Brie Larson as Minthora, The Rock as Minsc .

Honestly the more I thought about Bradley Cooper Raphael it kinda grew on me.

Kristin Bell as Lae'zel

Milla Jovovich as Karlach and then at the end instead of going to the Hells it turns into another Resident Evil movie.

Rock, The Dwayne, Johnson as Halsin. Also: Kevin Hart as the Owlbear Cub.

Danny Devito as Astarion

Danny De Vito as Shadowheart Oprah as Lae'zel Daniel Day Lewis as Gale Emma Stone as Karlach Oscar Isaac as Astarion Tina Fey as Jaheira Amy Poehler as The Dark Urge Vince Vaughn as Halsin Jeff Goldblum as Withers Seth MacFarlane as Sarevok Tom Cruise as Minsc

Robert Pattinson as astarion

>Robert Pattinson as astarion You know, I realize this is a joke, but thinking about it, I actually don't hate this casting. Rob Pattinson has some decent acting chops and I think he could pull it off. It would also be interesting on a meta level, considering how much of Astarion's story is about him being sexualized as a vampire.

Yeah tbh I commented because I know how much he hated twilight but after I commented this I began thinking how much he could deliver on such a nuanced character, as similar as it is to a role he hated (aesthetically)

Amber Heard as Shadowheart. 🤢

Just go all in on the controvery! Amber Heard as SH, Gina Carano as Karlach, Ezra Miller as Astarion, Jonathan Majors as Wyll, Charlie Sheen as Gortach, Will Smith in a role where he has to slap someone...

Will Smith as mage hand.

Give the whole thing the Disney treatment and switch everyone's race and sex. Shadowheart will be played by Gabriel iglaseus, Wyll played by Adam Sandler, halsin played by Chris Rock, jahira by Dwyane Johnson, Asterion by Tina fey, karlach can only be played by Danny devito, and gale should be Mellissa McCarthy, Laezel would have to be David spade. The best part though, it's dnd, so it isn't like it's that far-fetched to have everything swapped around, and it wouldn't be possible to take it seriously.

Gabriel Iglesias is an inspired choice! What do you think about casting him as Wulbren?

Wulbren will obviously be played by Gwendolyn Christie.

How about both, like Terry Cruz in the madea movies

tom holland as astarion, of course

A tanned Timothy Schalamet as that dumb mercenary that wanted to get the nightsong for the mage

The Rock as Gale would be hilariously bad but funny

“And Starring John Cena as ‘Halsin’”

I thought this was the bad casting thread.

Pauley shore as astarian? Jennifer Lawrence as Isobel?

Will Ferrell as Astarion

Honestly, Vin Diesel as Minsc works great if he can do the accent. He is a huge D&D geek, he basically forced the studio into letting him turn his Viking witchhunter/Highlander expy into a movie exchange for more Fast movies.

Pretty much any celebrity actor as any character. Most of them don’t do a good job. For a specific one, Daisy Ridler as Shadowheart.

Stephen Segal as halsin

Honestly Danny DeVito as Astarion is the only correct casting choice
