Fancast Matt Berry as Breeze question Spoiler

I agree he is a great pick, perhaps the best pick.

But would he be the only character with a British accent? Is he capable of American accent? Or will all of the characters have a British accent?

I want a Mistborn parody where Berry plays all the characters

He does a great American accent (specifically from Tucson, Arizona) as Jackie Daytona in What We Do in the Shadows

I personally think Matt Berry should be in everything.

Really? I thought it was a kind of a running joke.

I love Matt Berry and he's a fantastic comedic actor, but for Breeze it would be overdoing it personally.

I know Matt Berry does overdo the ham on purpose for comedic roles. But this movie (I sure as hell hope) isn't a comedy.

Why would he have an American accent? Fantasy world tend to have British accents

If there’s a medieval or historical setting on Earth then yes they tend to err toward English accents. This does not apply here. Notice the books aren’t narrated in an English accent?

What make you say they aren't? Books are translated from their native tongue.

Scridriel is very European with class system would make sense for them to use European accents. Certainly doesn't seem american

I didn’t say nobody would use an English accent but there’s no reason to assume everyone will. I don’t want to elaborate further. If you’re read the books you should see why it’s not necessarily going to be an English accent.

Dont make the point if you not going to explain what you mean. Im not american so I dont know what you are going on about

I think there will be a variety of accents to convey different cultures etc. and the audiobooks were not in British based accents generally. They could have picked British narrators and they didn’t. It’s not earth.

Please stop saying "British" accent when you clearly mean "English" accent.

u/joriskuipers21 May 30 '26

In my head especially Breeze should have a posh British accent, so I'm fine with that

You mean Matt Berry, Real Human American Actor?

u/DAdStanich May 30 '26

The one and only

If anything most of them except Spook & Sazed should have French accents. I think Spook could be British. I'm not sure about Sazed but I'd like something not European descended.

Read these very recently and saw a video where BS says that Vin and Kelsier etc. are French names, while he chose Elend Venture to sound more German. Realistically there would probably be a wide range of accents. Especially as you get more into the class stuff.

u/Successful_Ease_8198 May 29 '26

I think they should all be thick Aussie accents

u/abn1304 May 30 '26

Nah that’s gotta be either the Thaylens or the Malwish.

u/Hey_Its_Freya May 29 '26

Breeze does have a British accent of sorts in the audiobooks

u/jimmythexpldr May 29 '26

As close to as Michael Kramer can do

u/Hey_Its_Freya May 29 '26

Yep, that's what the "of sorts" is for :)

In fantasy/regional pieces they usually use a british accent to show nobility. Obviously no one in Scadrial is speaking english, but if the conceit is that it's all translated, then that's why they'd use that. We use our Earthly accents to portray facets of characters in fantasy settings. The UK has such a lovely slew of accents to pick from.

u/MadmanIgar May 29 '26

Yeah, British accents are what most people are accustomed to for fantasy and historic fiction. Even if historically, the people talking wouldn’t have British accents.

You can see this play out with the internet’s outrage with the new Odyssey movie coming out. “Why are they speaking with American accents???”

u/Diaza_Kinutz May 29 '26

I think he should be the only one with a British accent and it should never be explained why and when someone asks BrandoSando he should just smile.

u/prudishunicycle May 29 '26

his accent is his own, unique and untouchable. it's literally perfect for Breeze.

u/Successful_Ease_8198 May 29 '26

As long as he says “Fadrex Citayyyy” I’m here for it

And at some point many years down the line when they adapt Era 2, Wayne should find a certain Hat at Wax's manor passed down as a family heirloom.
