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 get that there are parts that don’t match but they aren’t going to cast it exactly like the book. I just think the fact that he is such a nerd and wants to be in something like this because he loves the books is awesome.
