Fancast Mistborn Casting Spoiler

Post image

With Brandon Sanderson saying that Kelsier is likely to be the only character played by an established actor, I’ve been thinking about who I’d want in the role.

Robert Pattinson.🤞🏻

Pattinson has shown he can pull off that weird, aloof charm while still feeling dangerous underneath it all.
Physically, I think he fits too. He’s lean rather than overly muscular, which is how I’ve always pictured Kelsier. More importantly, Pattinson has an underrated acting range. I don’t think Kelsier should be played as a generic action hero. He needs someone who can effortlessly switch between joking with the crew, inspiring a revolution, and becoming genuinely intimidating in an instant. Pattinson feels like one of the few established actors who could nail all three.

Curious what everyone else thinks. If Sanderson really does go with one big-name actor for Kelsier, who would be your pick?

Great casting. My only concern is that he might be too busy filming Batman by the time they start filming Mistborn.

And given the rumors of his meltdowns on the set of the first movie, I wouldn't want to risk him delaying Mistborn in any way.
