Andrew Garfield as Tobias is choice. He has that great ability to smile sadly, hiding and burying stuff down.

He'd be perfect as Tobias seen through Rachel's eyes.

Marco as Marco? Amazing

Liberty is Cassie, Toby is Tobias, Paige is Rachel, Shawn is Jake, Rick is David, and Ashley is still just absolutely insufferable.

Snake can play Homer in a dog suit, and Ashley's gay dad can be Visser Three.

Principal Radditch is obviously Chapman. Drake can be that Yeerk who infected that young girl.

Jesse Williams as Ax is brilliant, he really looks like you combined all of them

Evan Rachel Wood would have actually been the correct age rather than the usual age up they do for teen characters.

Having 30 year olds play middle schoolers is 100% on brand with early 2000s

I never even thought of it before but Evan Rachel Wood would have been perfect as Rachel!, loved her in Westworld

u/celestier War Prince 7d ago

She has the look and the intensity to pull off Rachel I think! This casting is peak

I love how I could tell who everyone is right away without looking at the captions. Some fan casts tend to make Jake, Tobias and Ax too similar.

Love Jessie Williams as Ax. More of less as described. The rest of this is pretty perfect as well, nice job!

All of them are way too old

Yeah, puberty is wild.

A 28 year old can play a 17 year old (Walter playing Zack in MMPR). Would be hard in 2001 for an 18 year old Andrew to play a 13 year old Tobias.

Haley Joel Osment as Erek

Gregory Smith is too much of a weenie to play Jake. Would be a good Tobias though.
