God no, kevin Heart should not be playing Roland, hes suppose to be a tall, take no crap leader with no sence of humour...so everything KH isnt. I think I would rather have any actor other then Heart. Cate Blanchett feels a bit too old for Lilith but hopefully she plays the part well regardless, doesn't bother me that much tbf. Other then that im not too fussed.
Good answer, thanks for being honest :)
Everyone has different opinions right but for me Kevin hart is a huge no, Terry crews would have been ideal for that role in my opinion.
I hadn't thought of that, you might be right lol
My strongest relation to Borderlands is Lilith. My fav character to play as by far. I like Cate Blanchett quite a bit, so as far as casting goes, I have no major qualms. I would have personally gone with a younger actor with a notorious attitude, like Chloe Grace Moretz.
But, I don’t like the direction they seem to have gone with Lilith.
A tired, adventure-weary Lilith isn’t the Lilith I know. A young, spunky, slightly twisted Siren… that’s the Lilith I know.
Slightly twisted siren....
I like this description :)
Haha happy to please
this is a good shout!!
I yammer on in posts so I’m curious as to which portion of my shouting you mean haha. Chloe Grace Moretz?
the whole thing tbh, a better casting for a more mature Lilith would have been Jessica Chastain, shes just incredible in most movies or Charlize Theron? or if going for a younger version of the character maybe Sadie Sink or Sophie Turner?
Oh man Theron would be exquisite. I love Jessica Chastain too, but Theron has proven energy which would totally apply
haha just give me a casting job in Hollywood and Ill sort it out :)

I love that Jack black is claptrap as that is one of the actors I would have chosen. Not so sure about Lilith, Roland and Tannis casting though.
Idris Elba might make a good Roland.
I know it's a little off the main look but Zendaya might make a good Lilith, or someone like Charlize Theron or Scarlet Johansson.
For Tannis I would go for someone like Helena Bonham carter as she plays quirky slightly mad characters well.
But regardless I do hope the film captures the same feelings as the game.
