According to Rural Radio Network, Kit Connor and Cailee Spaeny are among the confirmed cast members for the live-action film adaptation of FromSoftware's beloved action RPG Elden Ring. Details on their specific roles remain under wraps for now.
Why This Casting Has the Fandom Talking
An Elden Ring film was always going to be a lightning-rod moment for fan casting debates. The Lands Between is packed with iconic, visually striking characters — and the question of who could possibly bring them to life on screen has been simmering in gaming and film communities ever since an adaptation was first rumored. Now that real names are attached, those conversations have exploded.
Connor, best known for his breakout role in Heartstopper, brings a quiet emotional intensity that could suit any number of the game's more tragic figures — Alexander the Iron Fist isn't exactly in his wheelhouse, but a world-weary Tarnished? Absolutely. Spaeny, fresh off her Oscar-nominated turn in Priscilla, has proven she can anchor a prestige film with real weight. Whether she's playing the enigmatic Melina, the haunted Ranni, or someone else entirely, she's a genuinely exciting addition. The remaining cast — and the remaining characters — are wide open for speculation.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has been building out their dream casts across multiple Elden Ring stories, and the picks are as ambitious and eclectic as the game itself. The most active conversation is happening in the Elden ring story, which has racked up 16 votes across 22 roles. The standout pick there? Dafne Keen for Ranni the Witch, leading with 4 votes — and honestly, it's hard to argue. Keen has the ethereal otherworldliness and the raw dramatic chops to make Ranni's cold, calculating sorcerer persona genuinely unsettling. Close behind, Willem Dafoe has earned 3 votes for Morgott, the Omen King — a choice so obviously correct it almost feels like cheating. Dafoe playing a tragic, ranting demigod cursed by his own lineage? Take our money immediately.
Also drawing attention in that story: Winona Ryder for Rennala with 2 votes, for the mysterious Blithe with 2 votes, and — in perhaps the most chaotic and delightful choice — for Hewg the imprisoned blacksmith with 2 votes. That one somehow works on a level that's difficult to fully explain.
