Pedro Pascal would be a great D'Arconia. Rebecca Ferguson also feels like the right Dagny cast for the moment. Alfie Allen as Jim Taggart. Would move Isaac to Reardon and John David Washington as Galt.

I don’t know if Pedro is diabolical enough for D’Arconia. I thought about this long and hard, there are some lines where Reardon is even humbled by his ferocity. Maybe Pedro has the range to deliver that but his obvious goodness is a hurdle. As for Reardon, Isaac feels too foreign and refined. You also need someone who is both severe but guileless, lacking malice. Bernthal, Tom Hardy are too street. Garrett hedlund? Ferguson is a good choice for Dagny but I don’t know if she is unapologetic enough. She carries defiance and sorrow well, less so arrogance and joy. Vanessa Kirby on the other hand is too arrogant, Dagny isn’t meant to make people feel she is better, she just is. I see Eva Green in every word Rand writes, maybe a testament to her character in Skyfall.

Big +1 on Isaac as D’Arconia. Perfect fit. Pedro is an acceptable fallback, I think he could do it. Why no mention of Jessica Chastain or Jennifer Lawrence for Dagny? Can you unpack your objections to Skarsgard?

He feels too much like a lanky european arisrocrat to me. He also gives off an air of malice that would alter Reardon’s character. Jennifer Lawrence is acceptable, but I don’t find her sexual or charismatic enough. She is good at playing messy, and Dagny is not a mess. Also if we are doing alternatives I need someone who can get in the ring with Eva Green which is a high bar imo. It has to be done bc she is likely too old.
