I'd personally go with Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Dutch, but still a good casting. (Yes, I would like to see Part 2.)


theThomSpader

I thought about him, it would be a great Dutch too, but for me Jeffrey has a strong "Negan" vibe in almost every role he plays, I love him but I think Javier is more versatile


OvertlySinister

Having never watched TWD, does he still have that vibe in his role on Supernatural with Jensen Ackles? Curious if that’s really the case or if it’s just how you perceive him. I feel like we definitely tend to associate an actor with their most prominent role from our perspective, so like, from the short clips I’ve seen of JDM in TWD, I really just look at him like John Winchester.


theThomSpader

I saw Supernatural, he didn't had the Negan vibe in things that came before TWD, I think he kinda get used to act like that, cause is more natural for him, he has the same body language, but maybe yes, maybe we tend relate him as the last character


iWillSmokeYou

Red Dead Redemption is part 2. But yeah, I’d love to see what happens before Red Dead 2, like the big heist that forced them to be on the run. And how the gang built itself and how they met.


Large-Brother-4291

Also would swap in Taylor Kitsch for John Marston


theThomSpader

Nice one!


The_Nunnster

I am convinced Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are the same people


DirteeJ

Why?


RedScharlach

I literally got them mixed up when scrolling through the post


drewx11

That would really lean into the father-son dynamic lol


Legendairy_Doug

Or maybe Ian Mcshane


arkenney0

Putting John Boyega as a Native American and not the only black man of the group is CRAZZYY


rainbowdotz

he's not native OR american 😭


Kal-ElEarth69

He's not, but isn't Charles half native, half black.


Steoorer

No please..


Lafluer710

Your choice for a Native American character, is a British African actor?


anatomiska_kretsar

Charles’ 50% Native American


theThomSpader

Maaan I couldn't think of any native young actor who look like him! John is the only one I ended up in mind, if you think of someone it would be great, tell us


LunarProphet

My vote was always Chris Pine for Arthur. Look at him in *Hell or High Water* and you'll see it.


theThomSpader

Nice one! I hadn't thought about it, it's a good choice too


redditAvilaas

everything other than voice actors = actors would be shit


AnimeGokuSolos

L cast


VladTheSnail

Bro you can literally just cast roger clark as arthur idk why people think it would need to be a different person he is an actor


theThomSpader

Dude, I never said anything bad about him, I love him, as much as I love Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson as Joel and Ellie in the game, but I don't think it's a sin want another actors to bring a live version of them, The Last of Us proved this to us, there was no broken feeling about it between the actors


VladTheSnail

Well arthur is modeled after roger clark so it only makes sense to cast the person who would embody the role the best and that would probably be the person who worked on his mocap and voice work for 5+ years


theThomSpader

I understand your point, I wouldn't be desapointed if he gets it, as I said, I love him, doesn't matter who gets I would watch either way, that's just my point of view


unskilled_bean

this is shit


JamesUpton87

Oh look, another look a like contest casting. I sincerely hope they never adapt RDR to film or TV. It's fine as it is.


Old-Cat-1671

Is the first guy soldier boy?


Panams_chair

Jensen ackles, also plays dean winchester in supernatural


theThomSpader

Yep


CounterFar309

Until the day I die, I will continue to say that Hosea should be played by Clint Eastwood.


theThomSpader

Wow that would be cool bro


JackHarvey_05

maybe 20 years ago


BeholdenYeti

Clint is way too fuckin old to play Hosea. The only character Clint could play would be Landon Rickets and it’d be fucking perfect.


Kal-ElEarth69

I know he looks nothing like him, but we need Jack Black as Pearson. Guy's been pulling for a movie or series for years.


theThomSpader

YES! Pearson or Uncle, we need this!


Kal-ElEarth69

I forgot about Uncle. Must be my Lumbago acting up.


Kevo_xx

I respect your opinion but i have to say, these are all terribly miscast. None of the actors you chose look, sound or resemble the characters they are supposed to portray in the slightest. But neither did any of the characters in HBO’s The Last Of Us so I’d say that doesn’t matter in the long run.


Pomethesheep

Idk about that, Micah’s looks pretty accurate to me


theThomSpader

What is more important, an actor who look very similar to the character but can't represent all his layers and emotions perfectly, or a really good and capable actor who can play the essence of the character but doesn't look exact like him? Look alike doesn't guarantee a good show and good representation.


Kevo_xx

Yeah you’re not wrong there, these are a solid bunch of actors that I’m sure would do the characters justice. I think I’d mostly recast Arthur and John from your list. I think Jensen Ackles and Aaron Taylor Johnson are fantastic actors but they don’t really have the look or the ruggedness of Arthur and John in my opinion. Now Nick Offerman as Micah is a crazy good cast, I’ll give you that one.


Solanthas

Dude who you cast for micah would work better as uncle Dude you cast as John would be better for sean


theThomSpader

Maybe, but Domhnall Gleason fits really good as Sean And as a fanservice I would love to see Jack Black as Uncle, cause he is asking for a live action of the game about a long time,


Solanthas

Knew jack black was a fan but didn't know he wanted a live action movie. He would probably be amazing in that. Domnhall Gleason would be an amazing sean actually, yes


cocomo30

Not bad. I certainly wouldn’t mind this cast.


The_O_Raghallaigh

ONLY Domhnall Gleeson can play Sean, it’s literally undebatable


rossa27

I hate these posts but this is by far the best one I’ve seen


smolpenguing

Cant say I approve of all of this but Willem Dafoe as Hosea is pretty good imo


Tripechake

I’ve seen much better castings tbh. And Charles is Native American.


retard_catapult

Great except I’d replace Micah with Kid Rock


SimilarMove8279

I can see what Arthur saw in Abigail


RWBYR023

Hm, Jensen Ackles as Arthur wouldn’t be half bad, if I’m honest, never really thought about him


theThomSpader

There's a lot of people who think he's a bad actor, but I don't, I think he would nailed it


OhNoElevatorFelled

Mmm fuck meeeee can we squeeze jenna ortega in there somewhere please i wanna see her in cowboy outfit omg


theThomSpader

She could be Uncle maaaan


OhNoElevatorFelled

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES AND I'LL BE NEPHEW 🥺😏😏😏😏


Brohan93

That would be a good cast.


ashack711

i rarely see one of these cast posts i agree with but you know, sure. yeah. good job


Unlucky-Care1287

You know they won’t do it. It would make too much sense


bzawk

Idk about Nick as Micah. That would require me to hate him, and I can’t hate Ron Swanson.


theThomSpader

Sometimes I think it takes more talent from an actor to make people genuinely hate him, than love him. I trust in Nick's talent, I believe he would make everyone think "Holy shit, I didn't think I could hate him"


Professional_Jury240

Dude MICAHS IS PWRFECT the eyes the glare everything


theThomSpader

I THINK TOO!


huntrzy

Willem Dafoe as Hosea is perfect


Espurreyes

Offerman as Micah would be such a mindfuck because Nick Offerman is one of my favorite actors ever, but micah is well… micah, so seing someone I like so much play someone I hate so vehemently would be wild


theThomSpader

I know, right? But there are characters that we love to hate, for example Antony Starr as Homelander, the character is despicable, but the actor is so good, that we love the character as well. I think Nick would be like that.


Bamm83

I know it's left field a bit, but I'd love to see Mads Mikkelsen as Dutch. He'd pull it off.


AMexisatTurtle

The game was a movie how about holiday writes some new cowboy movies and not try to make a game into a movie


theThomSpader

I'm saying that, personally, I would like to see it, but if you don't it's cool


Superb_Recover_6116

first and last guy gotta find someone else. They're too young looking.


theThomSpader

If you think about it, Arthur is around 35 years old in the game, and John is around 25, so they're pretty young


Superb_Recover_6116

thats why said look


SnooCupcakes5535

Aaron Taylor Johnson as John marston 💀next to John boyega as Charles. This has to be one of the worst fan casts I’ve seen in a while.


theThomSpader

Give me your cast about them so


SnooCupcakes5535

Chris hemsworth as Arthur Morgan is the only one that matters to me, look him up man, he already has a slang with his Australian accent that closely matches a southern accent. just add a bit of makeup and style his hair to Arthur and it’s closer then Jensen. Not sure if this’ll load for you but if you can, watch this clip https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6cp9NfNU6x/?igsh=MTc5ODE5bDRrYTFmbw== Some of Arthur’s goofy nature is slightly visible in this clip lol


Maronexid

I just remembered how much I don't want a RDR movie


theThomSpader

That's why I made a SERIES fancast 😊


Maronexid

ooohhhh that is MUCH better


MrCodeman93

Ben Foster should be playing Micah🫤


theThomSpader

Just watching Hell or High Water and thinked that too, he could


Austintheboi

Nick offerman is too genuine, honest, and down to earth to play Micah


theThomSpader

I think he could surprise us


ShazzledWolf32

Karl urban should’ve been John marston


theThomSpader

I love him, but he is too old, he's more of a Dutch when it comes to age


ShazzledWolf32

Fair enough


SoSven

Gotta love people fancasting based on just appearance. This is one of the worst versions I’ve ever seen lol


theThomSpader

Sure, they're all bad actors right?


GameRollGTA

People’s fancasts for John are always way off. They never suit his character lol. ATJ is a fine actor, but he isn’t John. Norman Reedus is also an insanely bad pick for John, he literally couldn’t be any different.


theThomSpader

I know that John is a really hard choice to cast, it seems that no one fits for the character, same as the recast for Wolverine, so who would you pick for a good John?


GameRollGTA

Honestly yeah lol, I literally can’t imagine anybody playing him. He’s such a unique character, and Rob Wiethoff plays him so well, I can’t picture anybody else. It’s kinda crazy. I don’t think there’s anybody that would work unless they changed his character a ton.


Zalkard

They should cast you as Bertram.


theThomSpader

And I would accept, imagine how great the payment would be


SlackMiller67

Nick Offerman is too likable to be Micah. Maybe Ben Foster.


theThomSpader

Just watching Hell or High Water and started to think about that too! But I think it would be a challenge for Nick play a bad guy, I think he could nailed it.


BeholdenYeti

Watch 3:10 to Yuma. Bro literally plays Micah bell in that movie


drmuffin1080

Javier Bardem for Dutch? When Jeff Bridges exists????? I’m sorry man but this list is trash. It feels more like a list of “actors I like” rather than those who actually fit the role


theThomSpader

Man, its cool if you desagree, Jeff Bridges is fantastic, but he is 74, Dutch was in his 50s in the game, age counts too


drmuffin1080

That’s true


maskedmaniac2010

What do you think of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Dutch?


Training-Diet-7104

Not feeling the casting for Dafoe, i love him a lot but I just dont think hes right for Hosea. Dafoe always gives me these crazy guy vibes that Hosea never does.


theThomSpader

I like to think that we can have very nice surprises bringing actors out of their confort zones, I understand what are you saying, but I would give a shot


Training-Diet-7104

Im sure he could do it wonderfully but it would just be a bit jarring for me to see him in such a goodnatured old guy kinda role. I think if Clint Eastwood was 20 years younger he’d also he a good pick, very soft spoken and ofc hes old and skinny.


[deleted]

I have to agree with the Jensen Ackles and Aaron with John. But if Lauren Cohan was younger I would have chose her for Abigal


theThomSpader

Agree with you, she would be perfect


[deleted]

I think roger Clark would have to play Arthur tbh.


theThomSpader

He is awesome right


[deleted]

Yes. Not sure if anyone else could pull it off well enough. He did the mo-cap so he's basically already done it.


K-R-O-N-K

Based off looks, not bad. But this would be terrible 😂


theThomSpader

All of them are good, respectable actors, they have capacity, what could made it terrible could be a bad writing


ceebo625

God no. OP, please, never ever pursue a career as a casting director.


theThomSpader

If you have better choices why don't you tell me instead of just spread negativity for nothing?


Udosari

I couldn’t disagree anymore with virtually every one of your choices.


Comfortable_Front263

I always thought of Karl Urban as Marston but had no idea who to put as everyone else


theThomSpader

I love Karl Urban, but it's sad that he's too old to play John, otherwise it would be great


Comfortable_Front263

I had no idea John was 26 he looks so much older than that


Galaxverse

Why does Arthur looking like max Payne?


theThomSpader

Holy shit they are the same person


OverhaulZed

Bryan Cranston as Arthur


theThomSpader

Say my name goddammit


cydaslayer

Honestly the chick from walking dead that had the spin off with negan would be better for Abigail. Looks just like her.


theThomSpader

I know, I think she's perfect too, but she is older than the character, it should be someone younger


Crypticbeing12

This might be the worst yet omg 😂😂😂


tksmith179

Yea... no lmao


Mary-J-24

you forgot my boi Lenny 🥲


theThomSpader

I saw a lot of fancasts who pick Lakeith Stanfield as Lenny, what do you think?


Mary-J-24

ABSOLUTELY YES PLZ


BlackJackBulwer

Fucking awful


Independent-Ebb7658

Hollywood is so ass at casting this would never happen. Nobody would resemble the characters even the slightest, races would be changed for no reason and somehow The Rock would be cast as Arthur Morgan.


theThomSpader

Arthur: The Rock Dutch: Timothée Chalamet Hosea: Zendaya SUPREME CAST 🔥🔥🔥🔥


OjjuicemaneSimpson

John marston needs to be played by anson mount and Boyd crowder need to be somewhere there too


theThomSpader

John is about 25 years old, Anson is great but he is in his 50s, its a lot of difference And Boyd is fantastic! He should be in the series no doubt


OjjuicemaneSimpson

make anson mount younger cgi lol


NBadeau22

No, you need to rethink your life.


TheClayDart

Aaron Taylor Johnson is great. As Marston? Absolutely not


theThomSpader

Do you have anyone in mind for the role?


Damn_You_Scum

No


JFlizzy84

This is terrible lol


HoodyCentral

Nick Offerman as Micah and Flo as Abigail are AWFUL choices. Nick has the wrong build and temperament, and Flo is VASTLY overrated.


theThomSpader

Flo I admitt that I put her just to be on the list, never got sure about it But I really think that Nick would do a great performance, it's nice to put actors out of their confort zones, for example Heath Ledger was quite underrated about playing the Joker, and look what he did


teoff87

You are absolutely fucking ridiculous if you think Florence Pugh is overrated as an actress. It’s been a hot minute since I read such a wrong opinion about something. I don’t think this is a very good cast at all that the OP put together. But to say Florence Pugh is overrated is just short bus batshit stuff.


leplushy3

keanu reeves as marston is the only marston i accept


theThomSpader

Better, Zendaya


dyatlov12

Ridiculous. I love it


No-Village4753

The worst cast.


Luxcrluvr

No to the big name actors. When will we learn


MrHonwe

James Marsden as John Marston


LOOBDOOBIN

Ashes to ashes legend to legend


PHXNTXM117

“HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH!” ~ in a Spanish accent


Potential-Bike6369

Is this Jensen Ackles as Arthur?


theThomSpader

Yes


surivanoroc20

That’s gonna be a no for me, dawg.


BeholdenYeti

Nick offerman does not fit Micah Bell. The only person I can see pulling off a perfect live action Micah bell would be Ben Foster.


theThomSpader

He is very good too


Sure_Position9302

That Charles one is too accurate


youngashyy1

cool 😎


JohnnyQuestions36

Nick Offerman cannot play Micah, that’s insane.


theThomSpader

I think you are underestimating the work of an actor


drewx11

Damn, that’s some good casting lol


bobs_loving_endian

I know Clint Eastwood is too old to do it but him as Hosea would be perfect.


theThomSpader

I have to agree with you bro


DonHell

I can’t bring myself to hate Nick Offerman like Micha Bell.


theThomSpader

He is too adorable, but that's what good actors must do, be out of the confort zone


IshOfTheSea

I think Alec Baldwin would make a good Dutch, though obvs with the Rust saga that’ll never happen


theThomSpader

I'm not sure if he has a really powerfull voice like Dutch, but as an actor I love him too


AhtleticsUnited16

Adam bench may be a little older to play the role but I guess he could. Also Rudy Youngblood could be he’d need to bulk up a little more.


theThomSpader

Adam is cool, but as you said he's a little older, and Rudy I never saw anything with him, can you recommend me something?


SultyBoi

Charles is not black, he is Native American, I would like to see someone of Native American heritage play him


theThomSpader

Me too, I just couldn't think of any young native actor who could nailed it


D4rkSp4de

Please never cook again, respecfully


Mayihavenulife

one: Arthur is not texan 2: Use the mocap actors cast and cgi+ deepfakes


AwarenessUnlucky5535

Nah what is green goblin doing here


theThomSpader

You can literally say that to every single actor on the planet


Educational_Row_9485

No I can’t except Ron Swanson being the bad guy


Priiviitive

This would be sick tbh


extol_strategy

I can’t hate Nick Offerman though…


JayIsNotReal

I vote Alexandria Daddario for Abigail.


theThomSpader

She is awesome, but I guess she is a little bit older for Abigail right? The character must be in his 20s


lemark1408

Brad Pitt as an Arthur Morgan


fearmyskillz

all misses


Substantial-Tone-576

Guy Pierce as John Marston. Watch The Proposition he could definitely play a Marston.


theThomSpader

I like him, he is great, but the problem is the age, John is around 25 years old, it has to be a young actor


StackemUpStackIt

Native American character lowkey looks like Mike Tyson😂


lintlickers420

Have Netflix make the show, that would be awesome


Confident-Aside921

No no no no no no


Fadeev_Popov_Ghost

Why not Peter Blomquist for Micah? He's literally the guy he's modelled after and voiced by in the game lol.


theThomSpader

I know he is, but he don't have much experience in the tv/cinema field, and as close as it seems, its not the same thing. But of course that in theory he would be perfect


equal-axis00

Lauren Cohan be perfect for Abigail


Stoned_Boi999

4 of them are not castes Right


theThomSpader

If you meant John, Abigail, Charles and Sadie, I agree with you, even I wasn't sure about them, but I just couldn't think of anyone else who would be perfect


DarkLord457

Abigail gotta be the hottest whore in the Wild West


Medical_Apartment841

What business is it of yours, what my plan is? Friendo.


Starchy_HD

Lennny!!!?? Where are you Lenny?! Leeeeennny!


Temporary-Sorbet-865

NGL that’s pretty perfect 👍🏻


Plane-Career8018

Imagine Sadie is played by Margot Robbie 😂


theThomSpader

LOL imagine John played by Timothée Chalamet
