@Ariel: Yes, he does look very different doesn't he?

His eyes are a bit reminiscent of Ben Barnes', to me, which can't be bad considering. :)

I didn't recognize him at all!
Now that you mention it... yeah, he does have eyes (and nose) similar to Ben Barnes'.

I know this is an old thread, but, man, have I found someone I want to play Jill. She's Macenzie Foy. Here's a pic.

While she is already 18, she doesn't really look it, and she did an amazing job in Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and quite a bit of what she did struck me as quite "Jill-like," for lack of a better term. :D

She looks too old to me, though makeup could de-age her. Haven’t seen Nutcracker, so maybe her acting would make up for it. Though if they don’t start filming soon, then she’d definitely end up playing an older Jill.

To me she looks like a mix between Anna Popplewell and Georgie Henley. :lol:

For Rillian, I would cast Toby Regbo from Reign.(Non-TLC Friendly show.) I think someone even made a post about it with screen caps and putting Narnia qoutes over them. I made a fan cast once I just have to remember to post it. Katie McGrath is my pick for LotGK. I also noticed some of my other picks have been suggested in this thread.

That's what I thought too! (I haven't seen the movie, just the trailers.)

The question is, are they going to have Jill and Eustace played by teens or children? According to the timeline, they are about 8 or 9 years old in SC and about 15 or 16 years old in LB. https://www.thelionscall.com/books-and-movies/timeline/
If they were filming the stories back to back they could have teen actors, and it is easier for them to find actors at this age than child actors (apparently, a lot of girls that tried out for Lucy were so young that they couldn't read the lines well).

Lil, it would be interesting to see Katie McGrath as LotGK. I would probably subconsciously think she was Morgana! I saw her movie called A Princess for Christmas and kept thinking she was Morgana from Merlin. I can't really get into a movie if I recognize the actor from another.

I loved her in a Princess for Christmas! It was nice to see her in a role that wasn't evil. :D

(edited: Second post below)
So here's the picture fancast that I made last year or so and threw together.

Image

That's Sam West in the red. I think he could still make a good old Caspian, though I really wasn't sure about the kids or young Caspian

Aslan- Liam Neeson

Jill - Sophie Nélisse (or Amybeth McNulty)

Eustace - Levi Miller (or Lucas Jade Zumann)

Puddleglum- as Peter Capaldi.

Old Caspian - Samuel West

Younger Caspian - Robbie Kay?

Prince Rilian - Tony Regbo

The Lady of The Green Kirtle - Katie Mcgrath

Drinian Gary Sweet

Glimfeather - Tom Baker

Head Gnome - Kevin Doyle
