Lore Olympus casting: Hermes.

Probably my favorite character on this series. He’s just lovely. Sweet, cute, sassy, pulls no punches, loves his mama, can be a badass and a cinnamon roll, baby boy.

Yeah. I love him. Here’s my top ten. Who’s your pick?

1. Ben Schwartz. Top choice. I love him.

2. Daveed Diggs. I love him, too.

3. Aaron Taylor-Johnson. His role as Quicksilver deeply influenced this. “You didn’t see that coming?”

4. Matthew Perry

5. John Krasinski

6. Skylar Astin

7. Lamorne Morris

8. Randall Park. Love him.

9. Evan Peters. His role as Quicksilver also impacted this choice. 😉

10. Joe Keery

Lore Olympus casting: Thanatos.

Thanatos has grown increasingly endearing to me over the span of the comic. Originally a villain, or morally gray at best, I feel like his character has shown great growth.

I’ve been obsessing over this list, and I’m finally happy with it. I wanted actors who could be underhanded, yet sweet. Requirements: I had to see each actor breaking into Persephone’s room, grieving Daphne, and declaring, “This could’ve been an email!”

Who would you cast?

1. Aziz Ansari. My first casting choice after I read the breaking in scene.

2. Amir Arison. I love his gentleness in “The Blacklist”, but I’ve seen his other work, and I think he could pull off morally gray.

3. Alan Tudyk. He can literally do whatever he wants.

4. Jimmi Simpson. Ditto.

5. Kapil Talwalkar. Did I cast him while bingeing “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist “? Yes. Yes, I did.

6. Michael Thomas Grant. Same.

7. Zachary Quinto. Incredibly versatile.

8. Max Greenfield. I mean… 🤣

9. Richard Ayoade. I stand by this choice.

10. Robert Sheehan. Another incredibly versatile actor.

Lore Olympus casting: Eris.

I may be jumping the gun here, but here we go. I needed someone who projected confidence, power, could instill fear, yet be vulnerable enough for Persephone to relate to.

It’s interesting because several of these actresses were pulled from my Artemis casting list. Both powerful women, but one more sinister than the other. Who would you cast?

1. Brie Larson

2. Lupita Nyong’o. Probably my top pick. Her portrayal in “Us” really cements her as my Eris.

3. Elizabeth Moss

4. Emma Stone. I keep tossing her back and forth between Artemis and Eris. I think she’d be a better Eris. Thoughts?

5. Tessa Thompson. Same as Emma. Deeply conflicted.

6. Emma Caufield. Love Emma from her Buffy days, but her OUAT role sealed this casting choice.

7. Jena Malone

8. Amanda Plummer. We don’t know Eris’ forever age, so I’m casting Amanda. She’s a multifaceted actress who doesn’t get enough attention.

9. Krysten Ritter

10. Tati Gabrielle. I actually had another actress lined up, but after seeing Uncharted I quickly changed my mind.

Lore Olympus casting: Eros.

He’s a genuinely sweet guy. He’s done a few things that irk me, but I like seeing his flaws. This list was hard, y’all, but I’m happy with it. Finally. Behold, my list of beautiful men. Who’s your casting choice?

1. Josh Dallas. Prince Charming. I love his hair in “Manifest.”

2. Matt Bomer

3. Sendhil Ramamurthy. I hate what they did to him in “Beauty and the Beast.”

4. Dan Stevens. PSA: He’s an excellent narrator if you listen to audiobooks.

5. Henry Golding

6. Enver Gjokaj

7. James Marsden

8. Rege-Jean Page

9. Taye Diggs

10. Chris Pine, and yes, his role in “Rise of the Guardians” played a role in my casting. 😉

Lore Olympus casting: Poseidon.

I think of him as a combination of surfer dude-chaotic energy. He seems like a sweetheart, who’s probably underestimated for his intelligence, too. Plus, kitty pancakes.

I chose actors I felt embodied (or could embody) chaotic energy. I think most of my choices are self-explanatory. Who’s your pick?

1. Jake Johnson

2. Jeremy Renner.

3. Michael Pena

4. Matt Ryan

5. Sam Rockwell

6. Andy Samberg

7. Bruce Campbell

8. Keegan-Michael Key

9. Taika Waititi

10. Jason Momoa. Honestly, I fought this one. It felt too on the nose, but here we are.

Lore Olympus casting: Hestia.

Another character we’re still learning about, but I hope we see more of in the future. I imagine her as stern, maternal, gentle, protective, fierce, and loving. I imagine she could kick ass and offer comfort to those she protected. I can’t wait to see how she evolves!

It was so hard eliminating actresses from this role, but I’m happy with the end result. I’ve been pondering over this one for awhile. Who would you cast?

1. Sigourney Weaver.

2. Wunmi Mosaku. I cast her waaaaaay back when I was watching Loki. She’d be excellent.

3. Lucy Lawless

4. Garcelle Beauvais

5. Ming-Na Wen. I always felt like she had the maternal protector on Agents of Shield.

6. Haley Atwell

7. Bette Midler. I just adore her!

8. Holly Marie Combs

9. Audra McDonald. I just adore her!

10. Julie Walters. I think she may be my top pick. It’s so hard to choose!
