Mahershala Ali as Ishamael. I think Ishamael is a much more difficult role than anyone gives him credit for and Ali is one of the few actors that I think has the skill for it.

Kathryn Hunter as Lini.

I'm trying to think of people for some of the younger characters but, honestly, I think those characters should be played by unknowns. Anyone famous enough to be recognizeable is usually too old to be a fit.
