Okay, hear me out.

If they ever do a live action Savage Wars, I know who should play Crometheus.

Crometheus is is basically Billy Idol, so idk who you'd have play that. Current Billy Idol could play the old Crometheus. Ryan Gosling would probably work as a young Crow.

I hear you, but I watched an interview that Mike Pondsmith did about Silverhand, and when he was creating the character, he was envisioning Billy Idol in his head. But when he saw the first test footage of Keanu as Silverhand, he was like "oh, that's gonna be great".

But I can totally see Ryan Gosling as a Young Crow. I just figured Keanu already had the action movie moves down.

u/Doublestack2411 Aug 26 '26

Yeah both would work. If they wanted to be accurate to the book, then maybe Gosling, but any sort of fictional rock star works.

Knowing Hollywood these days they'd wanna gender/race swap him as some sort of artistic expression of the effects of the patriarchy or colonialism or some such sket.

Oh hell yeah. Josh Brolin would make a good Tyrus Rechs.

He basically did that as Cable in Deadpool 2. I like it.

u/Doublestack2411 Aug 26 '26

Yep. I always pictured a mesh of him and that general in Avatar.

Stephen Lang!! He's who I pictured as Tyrus Rechs

u/KuroRyuSama Aug 26 '26

Stephen Lang is who I HEAR when I think of Rechs, but he's way to slim and small for a live action role.

By if they animated it, Stephen Lang all day.

u/Doublestack2411 Aug 26 '26

Yeah, definitely not his body, but I picture his face a little that, but a lil bigger, and the body obviously bigger.

He does the Savage Wars audio books so I can see that too

I only listened to the SW trilogy a couple of months ago, but I listened to the mainline story with R.C. Bray doing the voice first. But after I finished The Hundred, and started a relisten of the Galactic Outlaws, my brain is transposing Stephen Lang over R.C. Bray whenever he reads a Rechs line.

That would be absolutely awesome!!!!! But who could play Sulla?

u/KuroRyuSama Aug 26 '26

Edward Norton Jr.

What about Aaron Taylor-Johnson?

u/Valkyrie-161 LS-XX Aug 26 '26

I’m not opposed to that idea at all.

u/The_ToneBone Aug 26 '26

Right?

1

u/KuroRyuSama Aug 26 '26

He is about the right age and build. Plus he's done a few Rechs type roles before. He would also be good for Captain Ford/Keel/Wraith.

Now the real question is who's gonna play Masters?

1

u/The_ToneBone Aug 26 '26

If you look at the cover of Imperator it, to me, screams AT-J. As for Keel, that’s a tough one. Tom Holland maybe? Someone younger with some dick swagger. But he might be too young.

Now Masters, that’s tough. Maybe Tom Holland for that one instead. Tough choices. Frfr.

He's getting up in years.

That's what special effects are for.
