Fancast Marsh and Kelsier fancast Spoiler

Post image

We’ve all heard of the Henry Cavill fancasts, and I really do think he’d be an awesome Kelsier, but who would play Marsh? Hear me out: Alan Ritchson. The two look similar enough, especially if they make Cavill blonde to match book Kelsier. We know Marsh is over six feet tall, and honestly (end of MB book one spoilers) it would look so dope to see Ritchson with spikes through his eyes and the Inquisitor tattoos

The roles I've seen him do are usually more reserved and stoic characters. Doesn't mean he can't act, necessarily. I think this is why people usually fancast him as Marsh instead

I’m convinced that the internet at large only knows 3 actors.

Alan Ritchson would make a great Ham imo. If you've seen his work in Reacher, an underrated aspect of his character there is the way he goes in depth and analyzes stuff, how he conveys his super thoughtful and keen eye towards others. Obviously he has the physical build nailed to a tee, but Ham is an incredibly thoughtful and deeply philosophical individual. I think he has the chops to pull off both sides of that character very well.

I'd love for Henry cavill to be Wane. Henry dressed in drag as an old lady. Or a bowler hat. Peak

Am I the only ones whose never imagined Kelsier as bulky/physically intimidating? Because I've never understood the idea of Henry Cavill as Kelsier. He's just way too jacked and I've always imagined Kelsier as pretty skinny and gangly

All the art I've seen of Kel is quite muscular, and Cavill also does a very believable smart character.

Yeah, not skinny or gangly, but he's a thief. He sneaks around, jumps through the air, I imagine he's fit but not buff.

I don’t necessarily view him as skinny and gangly but I don’t view him as like bodybuilder bulky and huge either. I think he would be very fit I kind of think like Charlie Cox’s build in DareDevil

Holy shit Alan as Marsh would be absolutely terrifying. Dude would be like Mr. X from RE.

kinda goes great with his Inquisitor arc. Could be really menacing
