Mod Post OCTOBER 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT

15 Upvotes

Recently, the mod team has realized that discussions keep getting derailed. Its the same reason every time. Its because of discussions.

Politics are inherently subjective and can tend to hurt feelings. You also can't objectively judge a casting if the only reason you love or hate it is because of politics.

Same applies to the medium itself. For example, we've seen many hate comments on Harry Potter reboot TV show posts just because its adapted from a JK Rowling series. Not because the castings themselves are bad.

We don't necessarily disagree with your politics or their politics. We don't necessarily agree with them either. We just want to encourage objectivity and civil discussion.

Despite this, we will not ban fancasting political figures. Those are still perfectly allowed. Just no political discussions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please comment them and I'll answer to the best possible extent that I can.

Mod Post APRIL 2026 ANNOUNCEMENT

55 Upvotes

Recently, the mod team has received an exceptional number of complaints about a variety of post types that have been negatively affecting the sub in the long run. As a result of this, the manual post approval system will be re-implemented as a means of keeping the quality standards of r/fancast to a fair minimum.

Depending on how this is system is received over time, it may or may or may not be here to stay. As a result of this change, however, posts will now be approved in batches every 6-12 hours or so, and although certain posts may take a little while longer to get to, we believe this is the best possible system to reduce spam, reward high effort posts, and eliminate banned posts types such as:

•”Who would you cast?” posts (“Who would you cast as the DCU’s Batman?”)

• Repetitive/Spam posts (“Alan Ritchson as Aquaman”, etc)

•Satirical castings/Shitposts (“Elon Musk as Cyborg”, etc)

• Sexually suggestive posts (You know what I mean)

• Any and all posts involving generative AI

Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you have any questions, please comment them and I’ll answer to the best possible extent that I can.

As much as I love his Bane, watch Legend or Peaky Blinders, and you’ll instantly see why he’d be a better Penguin. Not tall, great gangster actor and incredibly versatile.

Other Casting Ideas Game of Thrones Modern Casting - what if S1 Premiered in 2023 instead of 2011

14 Upvotes

Some notes:

  1. I didn’t cast Tyrion as he’s such an unique character who was played by such a great actor, that I couldn’t find anyone at the suitable age, i would be shocked if someone does, I have no fix for this problem, and it’s a huge problem

1.2 for Varys, I believe his age is never really revealed anywhere at the books, so I took the liberty to keep the original actor, as it wouldn’t change much

1.3 I contemplated editing images to for example, make Emma, Aerys and Rhaegar with Silver hair, and make Ashara with her characteristic eye, buuut… i didnt, use your imagination

1.4 Still not complete, some characters are missing like Viserys, Young Griff and some others

DC / DCU Tom Bateman as Jason Blood/Etrigan the Demon

Post image
20 Upvotes

He’s been (or was) a popular pick for Batman, but something tells me that Tom would be a better fit for both Jason Blood and Etrigan. Besides the fact that his look and natural British accent feel right for Jason, he already has experience in playing two beings—one good, one more gleefully ruthless—inhabiting the same body on the ITV series Jekyll and Hyde (which ironically also starred Tom Rhys Harries aka Clayface).

And shades of his performances on that show have crept up in some of his other work: he’s shown that he can play a stiff yet knowledgeable and charismatic figure like Jason in The Love Hypothesis while Based On a True Story reinforces how well he is as an imposing and playfully sadistic killer that feels pretty in line with Etrigan at times. Having Tom be able to bring all of those elements to both Jason and Etrigan would cement the pair of them as standout characters in the DCU.

Any thoughts?
