Runaways Casting Thread

Last edited:
I feel like most of this cast would have been good if the film was made years ago, but I feel like they are pretty much all way too old to play the Runaways. with the exception of Chloe Moretz, almost all of the actors are in (at least) their mid 20s. Even Chloe would actually be too old to play a 10 year old.

well i can guarantee they wont cast teens in the roles... and most likely do actors who are early to mid 20s who can pass as late teens. This is due to child labor laws. it's very hard to have a group of underage people as a full cast in a movie.
 
I don't know if this has been brought up before, but I'd like to see Abigail Breslin as Molly Hayes!

I think abigail comes off far more mature of a person and actress to play molly she's also a lil too chubby imo. She'd do alright but she's not perfect. Id take elle fanning over her.
 
I like most of spideyboy_1111's cast.
 
Is Allie Grant (for Gert) the only person rumored to have been cast so far? After seeing some of her stuff, I was kinda hoping they might have gone with Jennifer Stone for Gert. :csad:

Bah let them hate. Jennifer is the right age, has the look and has a sassy sarcastic personality that fits Gert to a T.

As for Allie Grant, I haven't seen her in anything but some of her pictures make her look like a mutated Chelsea Clinton. :wow:

If only Ryan Hansen was like 5-7 years younger, he'd be literally the perfect Chase.
 
I was thinking the same. :up:
 
It actually hadn't occured to me until an episode late last season when she walked into the choir room wearing something identical to what Nico would wear. I was stunned. She's perfect for the part.

I like it. I am not above saying I watch more than my share of Disney Channel and think she would actually be really good for the role.
 
"Uniquely beautiful"..?
 
There should be many Japanese Americans who look prettier than Korean Jenna Uskhowitz. It's not like they're going to sing or do dance numbers.
 
meh i don't think nationalities need to be 100% perfect... nico just needs to look some what asian or have some clearly in her. i don't think it matters if the actress is japanese, chinese, or korean.....

that's like saying alex needs to be african-american... not of aborigine, egyptian, or not from zimbabwe decent... i know there's slight differences.. but i dont think we need to be that correct...

that'd also be like saying a british or canadian actor can't play molly, gerty, or chase.....

Jenna also happens to be a good actress, which is one reason so many are throwing support behind her.
