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.

ICYMI both Paul Walker and Heath Ledger were sent to live on a farm upstate.

Ya I know, but it still begs the question of why the type is all but gone which is likely a broader societal issue.

True. They don’t make “turn of the century pretty boys” like they used to.
