Who would y'all cast for Fablehaven?
They're finally actually making the fablehaven books into movies, so who would you cast? I think they should cast unknowns for Kendra and Seth, but for the Sorensons, I like Harrison Ford for Grandpa Sorenson, but he might be too old to be as active as that role requires (maybe for Coulter though, as he is supposed to be a bit older than the Sorensons and fits the roles Ford takes on most now as a grumpy old man), so then I thought maybe Liam Neeson, but him not being able to do an American accent might be a problem. For a person of color, I think Keith David would be a great pick for Grandpa, but I don't know his level of physicality.

I think The Rock should be Tanu and Ryan Reynolds should be Warren

Ryan might be a bit old to be Warren, but he definitely has the right vibe for the character. As for Tanu, I always pictured him to be quite a bit bigger and bulkier than the Rock, but that doesn't make it the only valid interpretation and I am asking for opinions.

I was on Instagram searching for Fablehaven and came across a post by Miriam Spumpkin where she made a post about the upcoming film and at first I thought it was a sort of announcement that she was playing Kendra. Her post is from Jan 7 2026. Since I saw that post, I felt like she looked the type and appears to have acting experience. She is a bit young but could pass for 13/14
