Fuck it, more The Magnus Archives fancast...

Tom Sturridge as Gerard Keay

Let. Tom. Grow. Out. His. Hair! He did incredible as Morpheus in Sandman and I just know he could do that miserable monster manual justice.

Éva Magyar as Mary Keay

I'm not too familiar with her acting so I'm going by looks and vibes. She's got the cheekbones.

Lindsay Duncan as Gertrude Robinson

I have a good feeling about her. I only know her from Doctor Who and Sherlock but I feel she looks and could act the part of Gertrude. Put an oversized cardigan on her and a manipulative look in her eye and we've got a Gertrude.

Sam Reid as Michael Shelley

I was conflicted on this as for the longest time Cody Fern was my Michael fancast...but Sam Reid's performance in AMC's Interview with the Vampire changed me (in a lot of ways but anyway). Lestat and Michael tend to fall in the same category in my mind (manic manipulative blondes) and if Sam can play Lestat, he can play Michael. And my god can he play Lestat...

He does need to master the laugh though. It's no Michael without that laugh.

Claudia Doumit as Helen Richardson

Honestly I only know her from The Boys but I feel that she could body Helen. Put her in a pantsuit and we are ready to go spiralling.

Stellan Skarsgård as Jurgen Leitner

Stellan is a powerhouse of an actor and I believe he can do any role he is given justice. Villainous? He can do it to a T. Plus Norwegian and swedish aren't that different. They're neighbors...

Mads Mikkelsen as Peter Lukas

Look I know most people want him as Elias but I see him way more as the recluse, Peter. Just paint him to look a little more pale and you've got it. His voice and demeanor are easily haunting when he wants them to be.

Tom Hardy AND Doug Jones as Jared Hopworth

Ok hear me out, Jared is described as being...well, ever-changing. I think Tom could do the voice (his venom is proof) and he could be the "large man with a handsome face" version of Jared. But Doug can be the more...deformed versions. If you give Doug enough makeup and time to contort himself that man can do anything. Tom would still be the voice due to Doug's being not quite right for Jared. Anyway I love Doug and would cast him in everything if I could.

Anya Taylor Joy as Agnes Montague

She's an incredibly talented actress and she has the deer in headlights eyes like no other. I considered Mia Goth but she just didn't quite fit right. Just put a red wig on her and that's Agnes right there.

Side note: after looking at Doug Jones I've decided this completely fake adaptation would be directed by Guillermo Del Toro.

Would it be too on the nose to fancast Elias as mads mikkelsen? He's got that evil corporate boss look about him...

thinking abt my personal tma fancast for daisy and basira: I do think jade eshete would make an excellent basira

and she might be just a little bit too young but mackenzie davis would make a killer daisy

Fuck it, The Magnus Archives fancast

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riz Ahmed as Jonathan Simms

Look at him. You're gonna tell me that's NOT Jon? Yes he's a lil older than Jon but it's fine he doesn't look much older.

Harvey Guillen as Martin Blackwood

Everytime you fuckers cast a skinny guy as Martin a puppy dies. He is quite literally described as "comfortable" and "not the smallest". Plus Guillermo is pretty similar to Martin already. Anyway I better not see another skinny Martin on here.

Justin Min as Tim Stoker

Listen Tim is supposed to hot and broody. Justin is hot and his sparrow version of Ben is broody.

Bryce Dallas Howard as Sasha James

Listen, she'd need heels and glasses but I have faith.

Jessica Chastain as Not-Sasha

I think in a visual medium Not-Sasha needs to look enough like Sasha so the writers can gaslight the audience. They can't be identical, the audience still needs a moment of "are we supposed to think that's Sasha?" It's Sasha but...not. and Bryce has been compared to Jessica for years. Plus Jessica can play a really good antagonist/villain. She plays the character that makes you go "something ain't right" well.

Sophia Nomvete as Basira Hussain

I just have a good feeling about her ngl

Mackenzie Davis as Daisy Tonner

Tall lady with muscles 😩

Susan Wokoma as Georgie Barker

Honestly I just scrolled thru other people's Georgie fancasts and she just....stood out to me as Georgie

Hannah Marks as Melanie King

Look I just think her acting in Dirk Gently proves she's the gal to play Melanie.

Con O'Neill as Elias Bouchard

I'm putting this at the bottom because this feels the most controversial. Listen I have a vision ok? Mads definitely could be Elias but I just...I think Con has such a unique voice and I think it'd be really neat. Plus he's like "too young for the job he has" without looking the same age as Jon. He's only in his 50s, it could work.

Confession time, so before I'd ever seen any fanart for the magnus archives (I avoided it for a while because I didn't want spoilers), I had no frame of reference for what the characters looked like.

The first time I heard the name Jonathan Sims my mind immediately went to respected british actor John Simm, this guy:

BUT, what had actually happened in my head is that I'd got John Simm confused with other well known british actor Simon Pegg, this guy:

SO what that hilariously means is that, while listening to the whole of the first two seasons of tma, THIS is what I was picturing for Jon and Martin:
