Master & Commander reboot - who would you cast?
Time to revisit now that some manner of reboot is in the offing.
Threads from 9-10 years ago liked Chris Hemsworth for Aubrey, Cillian Murphy for Maturin, and Alicia Vikander as Diana Villiers.
I think those are all spot-on, 9-10 years ago. But now I’d say all three actors are too old, possibly too famous - especially if you allow yourself the fantasy that the reboot would be a hit and they’d continue. I think the book series hits a theatrical epic peak in HMS Surprise.
Anyways - I humbly submit for the Redditverse’s consideration
JACK REYNOR - Capt Jack Aubrey
ROBERT SHEEHAN - Stephen Maturin
ELLA BLUE TRAVOLTA - looks-wise, closest thing to Diana Villiers in my mind
FIONN O’SHEA - Lt James Dillon
