Initial Atlas Shrugged casting choices: 

Dagny: Eva Green. Who else? She is likely too old, but everyone else is so far a second we just need to have this moment for it to be her. 

Reardon: Luke Evans. Hemsworth has the acting chops but he is just too pretty for the grit. Skarsgard would have been excellent on intensity, but otherwise not physically grounded enough. Fassbender if all else fails. 

D'Arconia:  Oscar Isaac. period.

shill me your fighting responses, let’s hear it.

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.

ok also 

paul walker for reardon coulda worked. also maybe heath ledger. 

and this has now brought me to the rabbit hole of where is this actor and why has he disappeared??

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.
