Got stuck trying to cast Elsa, other than that…

Naomie Harris - Ellen Ripley

I would suggest Trai Byers from 'Empire.'

 

[Jordacar]

I was gonna say Wilmer Valderrama. But as far as "Empire", Jussie Smollett seems like more of a Burke type to me.

Sam Rockwell - Parker

I'd go with a middle-eastern or Indian actor for Parker to keep the theme, but that's me. Great picks on the others. I wouldn't have known where to start!
