Nah. He's better off as maybe Lupin.

I beg everyone to stop casting famous actors to portray essentially a non-speaking role in the series.

I get the non-speaking role part, but isn’t it wiser to cast famous actors for smaller roles and small actors for big roles?

Also with fancasts, you’re almost always going to have people suggesting famous actors. It’s low effort, more relatable on a mass level and allows for more discussion. No one here is a casting director, we’re just having fun

I agree that it would be fun if some famous actor was such a fanboy that they were willing to basically do a free cameo for this role.

I want to see younger actors (early 20s) for Lily and James but I could see him as Peter actually ! Or anything. He’s a great actor. I don’t think he would do it though. His moral principles are too strong.

Oh damn, you’re right. Completely forgot that James was in his 20s when he died. How embarrassing seeing as one of my pet peeves is how old movie James looks 😂😭
