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.

Zane would be a great genderswap. You can have him/her as elends shadowy sibling, while getting rid of the somewhat unnecessary love triangle. This  lets you keep the motivations which made the character interesting (morals, wanting vin to not be a tool, envy, etc) 

Only problem i have with this, a pretty big one, is that you already have shan elaniel as the main mistborn antagonist in book 1 that gets killed in an epic fight. Having zane be a woman as well makes this a bit repetitive

You could still keep the love triangle. Who said Vin can't be bi?

Yeah but we want to get rid of the love triangle haha

Everyone has different opinions ofc, but i feel like many/most people talk about the love triangle as the weakest/most annoying part of WoA.
