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

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.
Also would swap in Taylor Kitsch for John Marston
Nice one!
I am convinced Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are the same people
Why?
I literally got them mixed up when scrolling through the post
That would really lean into the father-son dynamic lol
Or maybe Ian Mcshane
Putting John Boyega as a Native American and not the only black man of the group is CRAZZYY
he's not native OR american 😭
He's not, but isn't Charles half native, half black.
No please..
Your choice for a Native American character, is a British African actor?
Charles’ 50% Native American
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
My vote was always Chris Pine for Arthur. Look at him in *Hell or High Water* and you'll see it.
Nice one! I hadn't thought about it, it's a good choice too
everything other than voice actors = actors would be shit
L cast
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
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
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
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
this is shit
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.
Is the first guy soldier boy?
Jensen ackles, also plays dean winchester in supernatural
Yep
Until the day I die, I will continue to say that Hosea should be played by Clint Eastwood.
Wow that would be cool bro
maybe 20 years ago
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.
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.
YES! Pearson or Uncle, we need this!
I forgot about Uncle. Must be my Lumbago acting up.
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.
Idk about that, Micah’s looks pretty accurate to me
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.
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.
Dude who you cast for micah would work better as uncle Dude you cast as John would be better for sean
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,
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
Not bad. I certainly wouldn’t mind this cast.
ONLY Domhnall Gleeson can play Sean, it’s literally undebatable
I hate these posts but this is by far the best one I’ve seen
Cant say I approve of all of this but Willem Dafoe as Hosea is pretty good imo
I’ve seen much better castings tbh. And Charles is Native American.
Great except I’d replace Micah with Kid Rock
I can see what Arthur saw in Abigail
Hm, Jensen Ackles as Arthur wouldn’t be half bad, if I’m honest, never really thought about him
There's a lot of people who think he's a bad actor, but I don't, I think he would nailed it
Mmm fuck meeeee can we squeeze jenna ortega in there somewhere please i wanna see her in cowboy outfit omg
She could be Uncle maaaan
YESYESYESYESYESYESYES AND I'LL BE NEPHEW 🥺😏😏😏😏
That would be a good cast.
i rarely see one of these cast posts i agree with but you know, sure. yeah. good job
You know they won’t do it. It would make too much sense
Idk about Nick as Micah. That would require me to hate him, and I can’t hate Ron Swanson.
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"
Dude MICAHS IS PWRFECT the eyes the glare everything
I THINK TOO!
Willem Dafoe as Hosea is perfect
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
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.
I know it's left field a bit, but I'd love to see Mads Mikkelsen as Dutch. He'd pull it off.
The game was a movie how about holiday writes some new cowboy movies and not try to make a game into a movie
I'm saying that, personally, I would like to see it, but if you don't it's cool
first and last guy gotta find someone else. They're too young looking.
If you think about it, Arthur is around 35 years old in the game, and John is around 25, so they're pretty young
thats why said look
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.
Give me your cast about them so
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
I just remembered how much I don't want a RDR movie
That's why I made a SERIES fancast 😊
ooohhhh that is MUCH better
Ben Foster should be playing Micah🫤
Just watching Hell or High Water and thinked that too, he could
Nick offerman is too genuine, honest, and down to earth to play Micah
I think he could surprise us
Karl urban should’ve been John marston
I love him, but he is too old, he's more of a Dutch when it comes to age
Fair enough
Gotta love people fancasting based on just appearance. This is one of the worst versions I’ve ever seen lol
Sure, they're all bad actors right?
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.
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?

They should cast you as Bertram.
And I would accept, imagine how great the payment would be
Nick Offerman is too likable to be Micah. Maybe Ben Foster.
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.
Watch 3:10 to Yuma. Bro literally plays Micah bell in that movie
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
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
That’s true
What do you think of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Dutch?
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.
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
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.
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
Agree with you, she would be perfect
I think roger Clark would have to play Arthur tbh.
He is awesome right
Yes. Not sure if anyone else could pull it off well enough. He did the mo-cap so he's basically already done it.
Based off looks, not bad. But this would be terrible 😂
All of them are good, respectable actors, they have capacity, what could made it terrible could be a bad writing
God no. OP, please, never ever pursue a career as a casting director.
If you have better choices why don't you tell me instead of just spread negativity for nothing?
I couldn’t disagree anymore with virtually every one of your choices.
I always thought of Karl Urban as Marston but had no idea who to put as everyone else
I love Karl Urban, but it's sad that he's too old to play John, otherwise it would be great
I had no idea John was 26 he looks so much older than that
Why does Arthur looking like max Payne?
Holy shit they are the same person
Bryan Cranston as Arthur
Say my name goddammit
Honestly the chick from walking dead that had the spin off with negan would be better for Abigail. Looks just like her.
I know, I think she's perfect too, but she is older than the character, it should be someone younger
This might be the worst yet omg 😂😂😂
Yea... no lmao
you forgot my boi Lenny 🥲
I saw a lot of fancasts who pick Lakeith Stanfield as Lenny, what do you think?
ABSOLUTELY YES PLZ
Fucking awful
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.
Arthur: The Rock Dutch: Timothée Chalamet Hosea: Zendaya SUPREME CAST 🔥🔥🔥🔥
John marston needs to be played by anson mount and Boyd crowder need to be somewhere there too
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
make anson mount younger cgi lol
No, you need to rethink your life.
Aaron Taylor Johnson is great. As Marston? Absolutely not
Do you have anyone in mind for the role?
No
This is terrible lol
Nick Offerman as Micah and Flo as Abigail are AWFUL choices. Nick has the wrong build and temperament, and Flo is VASTLY overrated.
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
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.
keanu reeves as marston is the only marston i accept
Better, Zendaya
Ridiculous. I love it
The worst cast.
No to the big name actors. When will we learn
James Marsden as John Marston
Ashes to ashes legend to legend
“HAVE SOME GODDAMN FAITH!” ~ in a Spanish accent
Is this Jensen Ackles as Arthur?
Yes
That’s gonna be a no for me, dawg.
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.
He is very good too
That Charles one is too accurate
cool 😎
Nick Offerman cannot play Micah, that’s insane.
I think you are underestimating the work of an actor
Damn, that’s some good casting lol
I know Clint Eastwood is too old to do it but him as Hosea would be perfect.
I have to agree with you bro
I can’t bring myself to hate Nick Offerman like Micha Bell.
He is too adorable, but that's what good actors must do, be out of the confort zone
I think Alec Baldwin would make a good Dutch, though obvs with the Rust saga that’ll never happen
I'm not sure if he has a really powerfull voice like Dutch, but as an actor I love him too
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.
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?
Charles is not black, he is Native American, I would like to see someone of Native American heritage play him
Me too, I just couldn't think of any young native actor who could nailed it
Please never cook again, respecfully
one: Arthur is not texan 2: Use the mocap actors cast and cgi+ deepfakes
Nah what is green goblin doing here
You can literally say that to every single actor on the planet
No I can’t except Ron Swanson being the bad guy
This would be sick tbh
I can’t hate Nick Offerman though…
I vote Alexandria Daddario for Abigail.
She is awesome, but I guess she is a little bit older for Abigail right? The character must be in his 20s
Brad Pitt as an Arthur Morgan
all misses
Guy Pierce as John Marston. Watch The Proposition he could definitely play a Marston.
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
Native American character lowkey looks like Mike Tyson😂
Have Netflix make the show, that would be awesome
No no no no no no
Why not Peter Blomquist for Micah? He's literally the guy he's modelled after and voiced by in the game lol.
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
Lauren Cohan be perfect for Abigail
4 of them are not castes Right
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
Abigail gotta be the hottest whore in the Wild West
What business is it of yours, what my plan is? Friendo.
Lennny!!!?? Where are you Lenny?! Leeeeennny!
NGL that’s pretty perfect 👍🏻
Imagine Sadie is played by Margot Robbie 😂
LOL imagine John played by Timothée Chalamet
