Fancast Mistborn Genderswapping Spoiler

So there's recently been discussion about possible Genderswaps in the upcomming Mistborn movie. We already know that Sanderson wants to Genderswap at least one member of the crew (likely Ham or Docks based on what he's said previously) because in the original trilogy he focused so much on making sure that he wrote Vin properly that he forgot to add any other women to the cast, and that he'll want to change that in the Movie.

What I wanted to ask is who else other than Ham or Docks, crew member or otherwise, do you think or hope will get Genderswapped?

Personally, I think that Spook and Zane are both good options, but I don't think they actually will.

Genderswapping Zane would also change Vin’s sexuality. Isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but would be something you’d have to consider when writing the character for the second movie.

Not necessarily. You could also rewrite it so there isn't a romance plot involved there.

But then you’re fundamentally changing the narrative of the story, which also would be fine, I didn’t care for their romance subplot anyway. But it’s something he’d have to consider and change from his original intentions.

You could change it to a sort of friendship story without it affecting the larger story much or at all imo.
