I haven't thought of her before, let me see if I can find a picture.

You know, I can see it! Especially in this picture, I can just imagine Lightning coming out of her hands. But I think her age is the only problem:/

Do you guys think I would play a good Mare?

I'm hoping people represent Mare as the way Victoria Aveyard wants her to be represented. Not a pretty white girl, but a strong POC

Oh my gosh yes! I hope they do a good job of adapting the the book into a film, because I can remember a few books that turned out horrible as movies, Percy Jackson and Divergent, to name a few.

IMDb fantasy cast

I thought of something... If their blood is silver then their gums, tung, lips and vein should be pale.... Wouldent that give Mare away as a red? She never talked about putting anything in her mouth to hide that....

I know what you mean Ellie. Like what if her period started? Its true the book has some flaws, but we love it anyway;) But i definitely thought of that when i first read the book.

Yea, I still love the series!!!!! I one of my ALL TIME favorite!!! I'm gonna read Kings Cage the DAY it comes out!!!

I'm preordering the book

Same!!!!

They put a lot of makeup on her in red queen to make her look like the rest of the silvers, its in the chapter as she gets dress as the lost princess.

Anyone think i would be the perfect mare im 5" 2 and sassy like mare.

Emma Watson for mare maybe... the thing I don't like about dream character casting is that a lot of people choose their favorite characters, instead of who would actually play the role well. On the epicreads page about the movie, I saw someone say Jane Lynch for Farley. I mean... what is Jane, like 50!

That is so true. I guess we l just want someone who isn't going to screw up the character so we just pick our favorites because we think they won't screw it up. You know what I mean?

Yeah

I think Lily Collins would do a really good Mare and i think Matthew Daddario would be really good in the world but i dont know who he would play

I think Matthew will be perfect for playing Maven

nicole_khaleesi wrote: "I think Matthew will be perfect for playing Maven" I think Matthew could play Shade and Cole Sprouse or Logan Lerman could play Maven...

Possibilities:
Mare - Adelaide Kane, Zoey Deutch, Poppy Drayton
Maven - Cole Sprouse, Logan Lerman
Elara - Charlize Theron, Cate Blanchett, Angelina Jolie
Kilorn - Keegan Allen, Grant Gustin
Farley - Natalie Dormer, Scarlett Johansson
King Tiberius (Cal’s father) - Russell Crowe, Sean Bean
Evangeline - Cara Delevingne, Chloë Grace Moretz
Shade - Matthew Daddario
Gisa Borrow - Maisie Williams, Mackenzie Foy
Samson Merandus - Will Tudor
Ruth Barrow (Mare’s mother) - Paula Malcomson

I can't find somebody...any ideas?

Adelaide Kane

Yes

Honestly I think she is too pretty to play Mare. Mare is average, unidentifiable, until -of course- she is not.

I don’t remember a specific description of Mare’s skin tone??

Heck yeah!

idk why but i always thought mare to be white

ok, that sounds right lol

who do you think should play maven/cal?

Thank you so much Horha! I kinda pictured her a white but tan from work because the stilts were canonically sunny in the first chapter but this is way better! I picture Cal with blond curls like the guy who plays Endrolas in Les Mis, but that isn’t an accurate depiction of him. Have you guys seen the new fan art though? I love it so much!

I absolutely love all those choices for Elara! I can picture it in my head so easily, I can't imagine her as anyone else now.
As for Maven, I kind of like the idea of Nick Robinson.

I love it, but I feel like the boys really need to have the right eyes naturally and completely her black hair. But I LOVE your Elara.

hmm... I've always thought of mare to be pretty

Horha wrote: "Why is everyone fancasting white/ pale actresses for Mare? She is brown skinned, which may not be too specific, but she’s definitely not white."
I didn't read that closely...

Nick Robinson as Maven Ca..."
I love the boys, the girls tho...not so much, idk honestly. I do like Cate Blanchett as Elara tho

but Maven has blue eyes, right?

Yeah he does

Holy cow these are awesome! I love the first and third Mare the best and the second Farley. I thing with me and Logan Lerman is that I can only think of the failed Percy Jackson movies when I see him, but I didn’t realize how good of a Maven he would make! This is all so great.

Horha wrote: "@hannah fair enough, we all picture the characters differently at the end of the day 😊 also I only picked actors whose work I’d seen, so there are almost definitely better choices out there"

ya same, i only pick actors whose work i've seen...or heard good things about!!

Lora wrote: "but Maven has blue eyes, right?"

idk...probably tho

I think Charlize Theron is perfect for Elara!!

But there also has to be really good cgi and costume design. Just imagine all the silver gowns!

But how much they portray the silver blush?

CGI I think. I didn’t even think of that.

I'm more worried over the CGI for the abilities. I want those flames to feel real! Also they could use contacts to change the color of an actor's eyes, right? So if someone like Dylan O'Brien got Maven they could make his eyes blue.

Yeah, and bronze eyes for Cal
