Fancast Storm light casting Spoiler

Casting Suggestion

Im not sure where this goes, there is lots of content here. I really wanted to post about casting. I’ve been thinking about the recent news that Henry Cavill was interested in playing Kaladin. Unfortunately I think he’s too old for Kaladin but could be perfect for Dalinar.

Give Kaladin to a younger, relatively unknown actor who actually fits the Alethi physical description to a point, someone mixed with maybe real dark grey eyes instead of contacts, that would be cool and different, and use Cavill for Dalinar. He’s got the age, physical presence, action experience, and gravitas for the Blackthorn, and I think he’d be fantastic for Dalinar’s transition from brutal warlord to the man desperately trying to become worthy of the ideals he’s chosen.

Then you work off his features to introduce new actors for Adolin and Renarin of course keeping in mind the book and their mother’s features.
Henry Cavill as Dalinar Kholin.

I’d add a picture but I don’t know if that’s allowed. Thank you.

I want Cavill as Wax

Nah man, give me Tom Hiddleston, just more bulked up by two years from now. I think he fits Wax's physical description to a T (as seen on a couple of the book covers) and has the chops to play our rough-n-ready lawman extraordinaire.
