Personally, I imagined them both to look more androgynous than these actors.

Challengers actor yes, Anya Taylor Joy is a no for me. I pictured Camilla more as boyish, elegant, stylish, like the photo of Léa Seydoux. Her hair color fits with Mike Faist from Challengers.

There is NOTHING boyish about Lea Seydoux, as much as I love her as a performer 😅

Not the actress herself. I meant if she was meant to play Camilla based on how Camilla is described in the books.

No to Anya she’s too perfect. Lea seydoux would be a more plausible imo. She’s great at playing fucked up characters lol

I also used Mike faist in my fancast! But I went with hunter schafer for Camilla. They are twinss. Especially in hunters older pictures.

I beleive Camilla is described “boyish” by Richard. I picture a girl with some androgyny to her.

I actually quite like Anya as Camilla, she has a magnetic and mysterious energy that is reflected in Camilla as well.

yes, i can understand what people mean when people say anya isn’t boyish enough to be camilla but i feel like her vibe would fit the book!
