I always have to cast everyone. What do you think about this? Levi = Cillian Murphy (but with curly hair; he had it in one of his movies). Dominic = Joe Manganiello (ok probably not but I'm stumped). Martine = Gessica Geneus. Leila = Sofia Boutella. Natash

Okay, Gessica Geneus is perfect Martine casting! That blew me away. Matt Bomer is also awesome for Stanton; I don’t know anyone who looks more like a real-life Disney prince.

Imran Abbas is gorgeous, but if there’s any way we could get in a time machine and get Heroes-era Sendhil Ramamurthy, that would be ideal, because that’s who I based Rohan on. (Actually, I just Googled him, and boy still looks amazing!)

I actually like Nasim Pedrad for Leila. She’s also of Iranian descent, and I know for a fact that she does “blunt, sarcastic badass” very well. She’s a little short for Leila, but her presence kind of makes up for that.

Joe Manganiello could work for Dominic. But I have never, ever seen anyone in real life who fits my mental image of Levi. The most accurate representation for me is actually the art by @bloodwrit!

I can add one more - Freema Agyeman as Jasmine. It’s rare that I base character designs on real people, but this was one of those times!
