Currently reading Golden Legacy by one of my favorite YouTubers, CrazyCae. First off, so far it’s really good and it transports to the fantasy universe that the book is set in, filled with original characters that CrazyCae has created on her channel.
While reading this book so far, I have thought about casting for this book if it ever became a movie.
So first, the role of Vivalda would either go to Cae (the OG creator) or Rachel Zegler since she has a fighting spirit and Zegler’s portrayal of Lucy Gray in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes portrayed that fighting spirit mixing with vulnerability perfectly. Also, Cae’s expression of each character shines throughout her channel and love the stories she tells with each character she portrays.
Second, the role of Kyson in my opinion envision Andrew Burnap. Weirdly enough Zegler and Burnap worked together in the Live Action Snow White and I think there chemistry on the screen would translate into this movie version of the book (potentially with her or Cae).
Finally, the role of Cassius, Vivalda and Riverlynn’s father should be played by Chris Evans. The level of composure of his place as king of Vassuren, Evans portrays roles where he has a level of dignity, composure, and leadership well. For some reason, I see him in this role.
Also, bonus dream cast for this role is David Harbor as Atticus, one of the soldiers that escorts Vivalda and Riverlynn on there adventures to Pavalon (the village in Vassuren).
