I think Michael Sheen for Alpharius. I’ve watched entire movies without realising a character was being played by Michael Sheen. Every time I see him, he’s somebody totally different.
So who is the Emperor?
Bonus episode pleeeeaaasse!!
Bonus episode! Erebus, Garro, Kharn, Argel Tal, Bjorn, Malcador, Valdor, Loken, White Scar librarian (Yesugi?), Ahriman, Eisenhorn, Dante, Yarrick, Lucius.
Moar
More of these discussions would be great, please!
Also I’d like to throw out that if you were going this 30 years ago, the correct answer to the Lorgar question is Ben Kingsley.
Please please please do a 1st Captains special episode! I’d love to know your picks for The Mournival as well as Erebus!
Good picks but I had Peter Mensah as Vulkan. Christopher Judge is a great pick for size and voice. Yes, please do a bonus episode
All excellent picks. But I would personally pick Adrien Brody as Mortarion.
Ralph Fiennes as Lorgar or Erebus
Rhetorical question on that First Captain’s etc episode!
Definitely do the 9 next big char in the season
Timothée Chalamet would be in my opinion an amazing elder, I know that for Eldard they would want someone older but I bet that Chalamet would play him amazingly.
Deffo keen on more of these episodes- one covering other main characters and the emperor would be awesome!
I agree with plenty of these choices. I had batista down as vulkan for me. But I agree such an incredible actor in his own right. Has the ability to be anyone even when he’s 6ft + and built like a brick out house 😂.
All the choices have been great. You definitely need to do another episode casting some of the other big name characters.
For the bonus episode:
Jeremy Irons as Malcador
Mark Strong as Garro
Josh Brolin as Sigismund
Want more!!!
I will die on the hill that Mark Strong would Be perfect for Lorgar.
I’m surprised that Mark didn’t get mentioned by any one.
I hope all these famous actors are Warhammer fans, otherwise you guys are blowing the budget for this film big time. I really like Tom Hardy as Horus.
Peter Nensah as magnus is genius he was brilliant in Spartus. Also first captains you so need to do that.
Daniel Day Lewis is the Emperor of Mankind.
It looks like Spider read my comment from the last vid. Ya, Brando would’ve been perfect. I d also say Clancy brown because of his ability and voice could be Magnus as its a mostly affects driven look so age wouldn’t be an issue
Great episode!
Tom Hardy as Abaddon? I need to exist in a universe where this happens.
Definitely do a First Captain bit. Night Lords!
Jago!
YESSSSS FIRST CAPTAINS
Cavill for Emperor
Remi Malek as Lorgar
Always had Mark Strong in my head as Horus
Tom Hardy as Angron
Sebastian Stan as Corax
Chris Hemsworth as Guilliman
Stone Cold Steve Austin as Ferrus.
Some of those are more serious than others.
Well, that was a lot of fun! YES! Please do first captains! I’m itching to find out who you would cast as Khârn! 🙂
I like how Spider says Tom Hardy might be getting too old to be a primarch but picked Viggo to play the Lion. But awesome pick for Magnus though. Just inspired.
I appreciate the Michael Clarke Duncan shout, Joe! The man was a phenomenal actor, and taken way too soon. He’d have been an ideal Vulkan.
Loved this bonus episode please!
Woody Harrelson as Lucius the Eternal. But maybe he’d suit the 40K version better
Christopher Lee would be my pick for Malcador if he was still alive. I think id go with Ben Kingsley nou as Malcador.
Loved this. Yes to a follow up episode for other major players. I think all your choices were on point for the most part but I can’t help thinking that Javier Bardem would make a good Mortarion🤔
A fun follow up would be who you think Hollywood would actually cast for the primarchs. Does Jack Black play Horus? Is Chris Pratt Sanguinius? Does Henry Cavill get snubbed somehow?
I’d love to see an episode where you cast all the female characters of the Heresy. Cyrene, Lotara, Mercedi, Euphrati, Erda, Jenetia Krole, Esher. I think there’s some really interesting, challenging roles.
But an overall major players would be great, although there are so many it’d probably need to be in at least three parts.
Let’s say they choose to do something like Eisenhorn as a series, I’d like to see you cast them…… or we can just chat about it on the next game day.
As you have said in previous videos in the topic I think space marines should be fleetingly involved as what they are, monsters of humanity.
Ross Kemp stars as Horus.
I’d enjoy another episode with other castings, a lot of good ideas here chaps!
Also I don’t know if its a bit of a curve ball, but my pick Magnus would be Chiwetel Ejiofor.
For Big E you have to get Terry Gilliam to animate him like he does God in Monty Python and the Holy Grail 😀
Jason Isaacs for Fulgrim please and thank you ☺️
I would love to see a first captains episode or just a key character episode as well!
Adam driver is a decent shout for corax but i cant look past keanu reeves myself …. 🤣
Peter Mensah is a great pick for Magnus. Not sure about ‘The Dude’ as Big Red though, and with Beard’s intro as well as thinking the actor was possibly no longer with us I though he was going to pick Brian Blessed 😀
bonus episode! go go… Gary Oldman for Malcador!
I know we can get some rather lazy and clumsy writing, but…
Prediction: Beard will choose someone like Mark Heap to be Alpharius; grinning, ponder who’d care; then have a little giggle.
Rationale: so much historic mild jibing (taken in the spirit it’s intended) of our definitely, honestly, incontrovertibly first found Primarch and his legion is part of an ongoing strategy of increasingly unreliable narrative as Beard undermines Perturabo as a sleeper agent.
Evidence: (this sentence has been removed and was never here, anyway look over there at that deus ex machina…i mean…pretty cat…*vanishes*)
I’d like to see their picks for the Drukhari – Vect, Lelith and Urien of course, but also the other characters we’ve lost since fifth edition.
Yes, Bonus Episodes! This was fun.
I personally would like to see mark strong as Horus I think he has the look, charisma and general voice to be the main man
