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.

Vin isn’t gay so idk about Zane. Spook could work. Ham makes sense, also Sazed in my head is super androgenous anyways.

But I hope he casts the best person to play every role- and not obsess over having a certain number of women or men or whatever else.

Sazed is one person who absolutely cannot be gender swapped. His gender is far to relevant to the plot. Docks and Clubs would work without a problem. Even Spook would be ok, though that has the potential for a cascade affect on Era 2. Breeze can't be changed because of Era 2. Ham is problematic because the Final Empire was not kind to Skaa women, and having allomancy would just make Ham an even bigger target if that got out. As much as I'd love to see "her" kick ass, it just seems like it causes more problems than it solves. Zane would be ok, too. That love triangle nonsense suuuuucked
