Fan casting Dynasty Warriors characters - Wei
Thought it would be funny to cast Hollywood actors as Dynasty warriors characters. Started off with the Wei ones here. Some of these were so hard to cast and any recommendations are welcome, just a bit of a laugh really. Hope you enjoy.
Cao Cao - Robert Downey Jr (Natural leader, can be ruthless and has the look).
Cao Pi - Timothee Chalamet (maybe tying in with Paul Atreides here).
Dian Wei - Terry Crews (I know he’s not white but it’s Hollywood).
Zhang Liao - Chris Hemsworth (Kinda linking it to his Thor character a bit here).
Xiahou Dun - Hugh Jackman (Same as Hemsworth, linking him to his Wolverine character).
Xiahou Yuan - Ryan Reynolds (great back and forth with Jackman, obviously in way better shape than Yuan is depicted but has that carefree attitude).
Yue Jin - Jacob Elordi (hard one to cast)
Li Dian - Kit Harrington (just based on looks this one)
Yu Jin - Ralph Fiennes (Really struggled with this one)
Guo Jia - Jude Law (Again struggled to cast this man but Jude Law would kill it).
Jia Xu - Mads Mikkelsen (Toss up between him and Depp ((Grindewald 2.0??)) but I think Mads is more suited)
Xu Zhu - Vin Diesel (literally just a Pisstake but honestly who else?)
Cao Ren - Gerard Butler (this makes sense to me)
Zhenji - Megan Fox (hot but mean vibe)
Wang Yi - Ana De Armas (kinda linking with her character in the John Wick franchise)
Pang De - Idris Elba (honestly kinda love this one)
Cai Wenji - Anya Taylor Joy (hard one to cast)
Xu Huang - Alan Richtson (I know this is very left field but it could work)
Xun Yu - Tom Hiddleston (would work well honestly)
Xun You - Eddie Redmayne (plays the shy, socially awkward character well)
Man Chong - Barry Keoghan (Kinda drawing on his character from Eternals here)
Cao Xiu - Will Poulter (Again drawing on his character from Marvel, young, Brash)
Zhang He - Ben stiller (Legit play him as Zoolander)
Will do Shu, Wu, Jin and other if this gets good traction.
