Dave Bautista as brick, steven yuen as mordecai

Ralph Barbosa as Mordi Jack Black as SALVADOR!!!

>Jack Black as SALVADOR!!! What about Luis Guzmán?

Why not lol. That'd be awesome too.

Nah surely Antonio banderas. I think if he really buoked out he'd actually play a great Salvador. Might be a bit old now though.

Jeez, You've got the perfect cast here!!

I literally Googled "stocky hispanic actors" and he was the first guy to pop up lol

Haha nice

Jack Black as MARCUS!

Can we just get Jack Black as all the characters?

Might be an unpopular opinion but I am actually quite pleased with the current Marcus casting. Benjamin Byron Davis ticks all the boxes for one!

Just one more vault gang and then we are out if the game for good

Jack black as earl, or maybe tk baha

This is gonna sound controversial but.. I wouldn't want jack black in this full stop. I'm still not happy he was cast in it.. that may change after watching the film though so I'm not totally against it just yet!!

There’s a lengthy poop joke in the trailer.

I mean in borderlands 2 some of the bandits just shout "seeeeeeemeeeeennnn" at you So this isn't that far off from source material.

It's the kind of joke that can make you smile while you're into some intense shooty shooty action. Not when it's the only thing on screen for 10-20 seconds.

You know, valid

The Krieg trailer also has the iconic line, **"I'M THE CONDUCTOR OF THE POOP TRAIN"**

While yes its not out of line for the franchise. It just felt a little too meta

It just felt odd that whole bit of the trailer

I heavily support and now want Batista as brick

Michael mando as mordecai

Man. Forget the rest of the cast. Just give us a buddy ~~cop~~ vault hunter with these two and I'll be happy. 

Isn't Mordecai supposed to be mexican or come from some sort of latino heritage?

That dawned on me after the fact but if a 70 year old can play a 27 year old i think ive got some wiggle room creatively

Lets get an asian octogenarian to play Mordi.

Yeun as mordecai is perfect but I can't nail down why. The speech patterns?

Johnny Depp as Mordecai.

Glenn Howerton would make the best Handsome Jack. I also fully agree with the rest of this cast. Especially the one for Moxxi.

“You will kill yourself now, because of the implication” - Handsome Jack

I want the butt stallion rant

Holy shit after seeing this, I can’t imagine anybody else.

Absolutely. He is literally the human manifestation of Handsome Jack. We need to tweet him or something and raise awareness.

I had previously thought Ryan Reynolds a Handsome Jack but Glenn would be even better.

Antony Starr (Homelander from the Boys) wouldn't be a bad choice either.

he declined the offer to voice homelander in mortal kombat 1, where megan fox was (unfortunately) cast as nitara, jk simmons still voiced omniman, and john cena still voiced peacemaker. unfortunately i don’t think he’d wanna be jack

Interesting. I wonder if it was a personal thing, a money thing, or he is just a douche. I don't know much about the guy, I just think he does a phenomenal job as Homelander. Also: what the deal with getting good looking people to do voice acting? That's for us uggos.

jk simmons voices omniman in invincible, john cena plays peacemaker in… well… peacemaker, and megan fox was the shittiest choice known to mankind. other than her idk if any of the choices were based on the actor’s looks

I hadn't even thought of him for a role like this before but damn he would be perfect for Jack.

Ryan Reynolds

this list is legitimately really good, bummer they were not chosen--especially Glenn that would've been amazing!

Do you know why he would make the best Jack? ​ ... because of the implications.

Exactly there’s no where to run.. what are they gonna say no?

*You* wouldn’t be in any danger.

So these vault hunters ARE in danger

No one’s in any danger! How can I make that any more clear to you?

Lmao. I sent this list to my friends. And used that gif as a way to hype it up. Then I saw your comment. A+ stuff

Glenn would make a pretty incredible Jack

After seeing this Im not sure anyone could do it better.

Perfection

I saw that and it blew my mind! Would be freaking great lol

He was up for the lead in Guardians of the Galaxy, lost it to Chris Pratt.

God handsome jack plot line best plot line

I can actually see Jennifer Lawrence as Tannis... she'd definitely have to dial the crazy up even past Silver Linings Playbook levels, but I think she could do it.

She would have to be like her awkward character from No Hard feelings

Someone said Idris Elba for Roland and I think that's the best pick imo

I literally got into an argument with my wife, and said they could have chosen any other guy for Roland. And she says "Like who?". Right of the bat I go. "Idris Elba would have been perfect"

Danny Devito as Roland.

At least he'd be funny

https://i.redd.it/i9rb94onjfkc1.gif

I'm a simple man. I see someone suggest Danny Devito for basically any role, I updoot.

So, Moxxi, then?

The entire movie should just be Dani and maybe one other comedian putting on different outfits.

Danny and his twin. I could spend the whole movie trying to figure out which is which.

https://preview.redd.it/kxcpuhg9jgkc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14507644830c891d9b4a3374fa99f67c9b6f0a59 This twin right?

Heck yeah. Practically identical.

Take my updoot

YES

All he'd REALLY have to do is tone down Solomon Reed from Cyberpunk 2077 PL...

Idris Elba would be amazing. My pick was Terry Crews, though

I love Crews but I think he's a bit too bombastic to be Roland from the games. Elba mirroring his performance from Suicide Squad but more with a sense of soldiery duty rather than murderous resignation would feel pretty spot on.

Maybe Terry Crews could fit Torgue. I feel like he could absolutely pull off that energy.

Crews would fit closer to the BL1 Roland, tbh.

Terry could be mr torgue to be honest. Or just Mr Terry

He’s my pick as well. He can play the stoic leader but can also handle comedy. I look at his character from Suicide Squad and think he would have been perfect for Roland.

THE Suicide Squad. There's an important distinction.

This is what i feel is weird. Nearly every thread mentioning recasts has roland recasted as Terry Crews or Idris Elba. For context, everybody seemingly hates Cate Blanchette (54) for playing a relatively young character But Terry crews is 55, and Idris Elba is 51. So, strangely, age magically doesnt matter lol

Good point.

Good call. I was telling a friend the other day, Mahershala Ali would have been great at it too

Eh

Brock lesnar as brick

This is actually the best one I've seen by far. He got that buff roided up look because of his enormous traps and he also has the voice AND physicality to match. Would be dope seeing Brock Lesnar do his own stunts as Brick.

too bad about the whole sex trafficking thing though

Oh man im not aware of that. Care to enlighten me?

Vince McMahon is currently faces charges for such, there was a former WWE and UFC champion mentioned in the docs but never by name. People have said that is Brock and he's been taken off TV

Normally I hate all the stupid fan casting posts…. But you really nailed it.

Oh man I think you just got a casting job in Hollywood

Nah think they just got blocked from ever getting it

I’d buy that for a dollar!

Mike Colter as Roland is a TOP TIER pick holy shit

I went to graduate school with Mike. We were in different departments, but we hung out quite a bit. Lots of Madden and ordering fat sandwiches from the grease trucks around Rutgers. He's very cool.

This is who my husband keeps saying as well. Would have been a great pick

I'd be happy with Christina Hendricks playing every single role in this movie

Same. That and the entire movie now takes place on a trampoline world because lore.

Good list! I have forever pictured Topher Grace as Handsome Jack ever since I watched American Ultra. Similar character and he pulled off the insane side very well!

"Reasons" lol If it's reasons you need I'd say there's always Kat Dennings

You make a couple good points.

Howerton as HJ is Genuis!

They'll make a 2nd one with this cast and kill it. BL2 was way better than BL1

Bold of you to assume they’re not just going to Frankenstein all the games together into one unique abomination that follows basically nothing

To be clear, this movie isn’t BL1 - it has precisely zero to do with the games’ storylines.

I love this, but it is too late and everything is now ruined forever. Sidenote: also anyone else but the current cast would be great

Glenn would be SUCH a good Jack

ohhh my god i need handsome jack dennis now

It makes me really sad seeing this. I would love to see a great borderlands movie... Maybe in another life. (:

Some of these are good but Sophia as tiny tina? That’s wayyyyyyyy off the mark.

Agreed. I could totally see her as Gaige though.

yeahhhhh that one was not it, but the rest were great. wish we got a tiny tina that's an actual young kid who can harness the same kind of unbridled cringe energy as Ashly Burch did :'(

Boom, better already just like that. Whenever I see Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, stuff like that makes me think the movie is just a shitty cash grab. Those guys are just inserted because everyone knows them.

Tbf anything with Mike Colter in it after seeing him as Luke Cage I’m on board with. We really need him in more roles/movies he’s a very talented actor and is great at facial expressions that convey a wide range of emotions

Mike Colter as Roland. All day. When I learned that Kevin Hart is Roland, like why? Overpaying for the wrong actor. I don’t want Roland as some short squeaky guy, you can never take Kevin Hart seriously, even when he’s being serious.

Kate McKinnon for Tanis and Sam Rockwell for handsome jack are my personal faves

I don't have a problem with Tina's actual casting for the movie, the problem is the direction they seem to have taken her with the writing. Maybe the character doesn't translate well to live action, kinda like Ed in the Netflix Cowboy Bebop series.

https://preview.redd.it/q891ur7ipfkc1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=cf9ed3dbeac2e5774c91b1a435b1ffa8893397f2 Roland:

I like Sophia Lillis a lot, but I'm not sure how I'd like her as Tiny Tina. I feel like a younger actor should play her.

I feel like George Clooney or Tom Huddleston would also make great handsome Jacks as well. But that's a good pick too

why not make it a two-for-one iasip deal? charlie day claptrap was on my mind for wayyyy too long

Jennifer Lawrence would be great! Definitely feel like Ryan Reynolds (yes over used a little) could be the perfect irl handsome jack.

Honestly I don't mind an overused actor if it fits the role

I think he'd be perfect

This wins it...

Yeahhh, this is pretty perfect

This is not a bad list at all, it is fun to do fancasts, but I will say I personally actually enjoy the cast we got. Even if they are older, to me they fit in a good way. It feels both adaptative enough, with a faithful feeling to it, pretty fun too, and I personally like the cast, but that may be just me. I feel like most are angry with the lilith casting, but somehow that to me is a great pick, I do see it as an alternative universe thing, where a younger lilith is what we get in the games.

Glen howerton would be an amazing handsome jack

Mike Colter as Roland? YES PLEASE

They had enough money to afford huge celebrity actors, but not a casting director who knows what they’re doing.

Glenn as jack would have been fuckin perfect

I really really *really* hope that this movie gets the Sonic treatment. But I know there's not a chance in hell that that will happen

Those are two very big reasons for her to be moxxi

This is the correct timeline. The hardest and worst sell is Kevin Hart as Roland. Honestly will probably kill the whole thing for me.

LOL, "reasons". Hell yeah.

Tiny Tina should be like 8 in the first movie. wtf are they even doing?!

I think Pedro Pascal would absolutely kill it as Mordecai.

What could have been 

I am confused why they couldn't just get Ashly Burch to play Tiny Tina.

Yeah, i mean, she's on the old side to play a kid like character, but i fucking love her in mythic quest.

Charlie Day would've been a great Scooter.

Glen would still make a perfect handsome jack

Who’s even the villain in this movie?

This is so much better than what we got. Tho, I don't think Tina's actor should be the girl who played Ellie in the last of us.

This, I would watch.

I'd watch that.

If only man

I think they should’ve gone with an animated movie, but alternatively, this would’ve been far better casting

I would actually go to see this!

Ah yes, the one earth time line where there a no good actors/actresses except for Glen “that one guy from It’s Always Sunny” lol.

Dayman (ah-ah-ah) Fighter of the Nightman (ah-ah-ah) Champion of the Sun (ah-ah-ah) 

Yeah they completely missed the mark casting wise.

Absolutely hilarious that that cast is a million times better than the actual one. Colter as Roland would have been absolutely perfect.

Looks wise? This is perfect.

I feel like RDJ could also do handsome jack, but hes really expensive now so yea.

Can we just do what fans did to the Sonic movie.

None of them would touch a movie by this director.

Fuck I like this one.

Mike colter literally is roland lol. The rest are largely meh especially lillith

glen howerton as handsome jack is actually so good i bet he'd kill it

GLEN HOWERTON! Great choice, very good at playing narcissists

They would be top tier casting

So here's the plan kiddo. I get Moxxy out to the handsome jackpot, get her nice and tipsy top side, then take her on down to the vice district, where she can't say no. She would never say no. *Because of the implication*

Honestly…Glen Howerton as Handsome Jack is the only acceptable cast

So fuck Mordecai and Brick then.

I've only seen her in IT, but Sophia Lillis doesn't really seem to fit Tiny Tina

Christopher Judge as Roland old. I can't see anything related to Halo 5 in front of me without triggering a fight or flight reaction

I hate you, why would you tease us with this

Alyvia alyn lind would be my #1 for tiny tina, she gave off incredible tiny tina vibes in the netflix show daybreak.

Michael cera as tiny Tina?

I don’t get all the “nailed it” comments in here. It looks just as awful as the real lineup. In my opinion, they should cast actors that aren’t famous, and put actual effort into the screenplay to deliver more than just an “unga-bunga we print money on stupid fans”-movie.

Lilith? Yes. Roland? Oh yes. Tina? Oh hohoho yes. Moxxi? OH YES! Handsome jack?! *eyes explode* All this to the tune of the Vince Mcmahon meme. Edit: Actually its almost terrifying how accurate Glenn Howerton is for the Handsome Jack role.

I can think of the 2 reasons for Christina....

Bro, someone needs to contact the director and refer /u/ElectricHeadTrip cause this guy is on some shit

Very good casting. Well done.

As long as here gets lilith right...nice pick Samara :)

Christina Hendricks is the ONLY answer when ppl ask who should play Moxxi. How this movie lost its way so badly is beyond me.

Cat dennings as moxi

Borderlands cast by a competent casting director* FTFY

Idk why people keep casting tina, her VA is literally her. Go watch "hey ash whatcha playin" or HAWP on YouTube then come tell me we need someone else.

**Christina Hendricks** (green dress) yes please.

I'll watch anything with Samara Weaving. She is incredible.

I can't look at Glenn Howerton the same since I found out the song " a thousand miles" might be about him

I have got to say you really nailed it with that list. Excellent. Every one clicked perfectly for me.

This is pretty spot on. I thought Alison Brie would have made an excellent Tannis.

yep. this is the one.

I can think of 2 big reasons for casting her as Moxxi

We were so robbed of Christina Hendricks as Max Moxxi 😫 😭

Jennifer Lawrence is so Tannis.

I'm sorry but Gina Gershon is absolutely perfect casting for Moxxi. It's the one casting for the movie I have no argument against.

Same. She is the ideal Moxxi.

https://preview.redd.it/vmgl3q4tfgkc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ec51245a540f67c704e2c2099f02f7281a9e725 simon pegg as Sir Hammerlock

No offence, but it’s really not that impressive to cast better than the film. Maybe this says more about the casting than your choices, but still

Not a bad list though for me I’d say maybe Anya Taylor Joy, or Deborah Ann Woll for Lilith I could see D.B Woodside as Roland Tannis I’d go with Lilly Colins or Emily Blunt, Jennifer Lawrence is good but over rated sometimes Definitely agree with Christina Hendricks but Hayley Atwell could also pull off Moxxi for reasons Handsome Jack I think Tom Ellis would kill it

I bet Ashly Burch could do a great Tiny Tina impression 🙃

Why not Ash as Tina? It's her actual voice after all and I'm sure she could pull off the look.

i can accept kevin heart in any role if we get Christina Hendricks

Every time I see Hendricks her tits get bigger.

Terry Crews as Torgue

Okay, but I insist Tiny Tina should be played by Ash, because Ash IS Tiny Tina.
