Euron Greyjoy

Hannibal being cancelled so that Mads can be Euron is 100% not worth it but now that the milk is done spilled it would be a nice consolation prize.  Unfortunately, I think his casting in that Star Wars spinoff rules him out for Game of Thrones.  Those two productions perfectly overlap near as I can tell.

Always bet on D&D to fuck up the casting.

 

Almost all people I know would look more Euron than this guy.

 

Show keeps finding ways to disappoint me.

 

Give him a chance. He might do a good job of playing an unhinged psycho-pirate. It's impossible to say until you see him on screen.

 

Plus he looks a lot like Theon.

He doesn't look like Euron, he is not black haired and pale and he is far from handsome.

 

I have nothing against the man, he may be terrific actor but he is not Euron, I love Sean Bean and Mark Andy, but they were not Eddard and Robert.

 

They should at least try to cast someone who really looks the part if it's possible.

He's a damn good actor who played a psychologically abnormal paedo to perfection in 18whatsit, that semi-good Danish historical thing, about which he was the only outstanding thing. Be grateful we have a Euron at all! I know I am.

 

EDIT: also I think you're in a serious minority re Ned and Robert! I wonder whose casting you did like...?

He doesn't look much like how I imagined Euron, but I think that may be a bit too much to expect. It's more important to me that he has the acting chops to become Euron on screen. Make-up and costuming can do a lot to make an actor look more like the character. Many of the rest of the cast look little like their chracter when you see them as they normally are.

I would bet against blue lips, or even the whole Essosi dimension / warlocks / dragon horn. I expect Euron to be just a more competent and fearsome Viking leader than Theon or Yara who has got rid of his aging brother and advocates raiding the Reach hard.

 

I think he'll have a slightly unhinged aspect to his character. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a manic psycho laugh.

Just thinking about they could fuck it up makes me cringe, that mother Rhoyne/Valyria switcheroo they pulled last year really pissed me off. I agree about the horn though, that was expected.
