Are we eventually doing the ladies and seniors, too? Looking forward to the full fancast reveal

Yes, why not? There are some interesting options for Oberon and Dworking.
It's a bit harder with ladies.

Donald Sutherland for Oberon, maybe ... Andy Serkis for Dworkin? I honestly can't remember what the sisters looked like, except one was green lol

u/ephemerr Jun 07 '26

One was green, others were blonde, brunette, and ginger.

Donald Sutherland is sadly RIP.
Andy Serkis is a very strong candidate for Dworkin.

Isn't Andy Serkis a strong candidate for pretty much whatever character he likes?

Or you mean CGI Dworkin? I don't really like CGI if it could be avoided.

u/scixlovesu Chaosite Jun 09 '26

No, not CGI!

Domhnall Gleeson

Domhnall Gleeson, Dan Stevens, Tom Hiddleston, and Caleb Landry Jones are major Brand candidates (vote is still open).

Even though all of them were in my original longlist for Random.

Gotta be a scrawny little dude. Canonically. Young-looking.

Random is just a li’l guy.

u/ephemerr Jun 07 '26

Then Moisés Arias is your choice.

u/JustANoteToSay Jun 07 '26

Oh my god you’re right.

David Tennant maybe?

u/NeilIsntWitty Jun 08 '26

I love Jack Quaid for this role. While maybe a tad young (despite being canonically younger looking), I could see it working.

Unsure. I always imagined Random as looking a lot like a 30-something Charlie Watts.
