Rorey Targaryen Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I think Penelope Cruz might be a good choice. She looks like a Martell and she's roughly around the same age as Pedro Pascal (Oberyn). She's also got the acting chops. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IOG06y2cq4o/TG6aECfhcuI/AAAAAAAALz0/j7Yh6yOLUr0/s1600/penelope-cruz-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Ayras Lord Commander Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Way too old. You have to factor in the time between her death and Perdo's current look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJeffCT Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 agreed - Cruz might have been great 20 years ago. The woman playing Rosita on The Walking Dead might work - Christian Serratos. (She was also on Lost) Selena Gomez is probably too big a name. The woman playing Lourdes on Falling Skies - Seychelle Gabriel - is another one. Gabriel and Serratos are both pretty & slender, so could work as the frail Elia Martell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to admit though, she would be a great Elia if Elia was still alive. In that case, I think Alexa Vega would be a good choice. http://www.entertainmentwallpaper.com/images/desktops/celebrity/alexa_vega08.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Ayras Lord Commander Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 She would be an excellent choice for any Martell if she was younger. IDK about Vega either. She's the right age, but she doesn't look like Pedro. Sorry for shooting down your proposals without presenting any others. I think the ideal Martell woman would be an European actress with Spanish and India ancestry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seychelle Gabriel looks perfect. Christian Serratos is also a great choice for the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewJeffCT Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Then, we get the question - who plays the young Oberyn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Blizzardborn Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ah, but isn't that a question for another thread? Somewhere around here is a thread for the Martells in general I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorey Targaryen Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 Then, we get the question - who plays the young Oberyn? Possibly Diego Boneta http://hairstyles.thehairstyler.com/hairstyle_views/front_view_images/5743/original/Diego-Boneta.jpg Another option for Elia could be Odette Annable http://www.funbabefun.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/od13.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallofice Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Catalina Sandino Moreno, please and thank you. She might be a little too old, but considering how everyone's been aged up, I think it could work.Not that we'll ever get a flashback for her :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Whores Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Lol I coincidently made a pic of Cruz my avatar just a few hours before seeing this thread :Lol:As gorgeous as Cruz is, I think she's a bit too attractive to play Elia, since wasn't Elia described as 'sickly?' Also, Cruz is a bit too big of a name for the show, although I guess that isn't really a problem anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Then, we get the question - who plays the young Oberyn?Young Oberyn? For what?Edit: And why would they cast Elia? For a flashback scene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorey Targaryen Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Young Oberyn? For what?Edit: And why would they cast Elia? For a flashback scene? They most likely wouldn't. However, these are just discussions on "What if?" type situations. The same reason why there are threads on here arguing casting Rhaegar and Lyanna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddy95 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Elia martell was sickly. Cruz is way too curvy and big chested to be elia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~DarkHorse~ Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Maybe it's just the regal look, especially with the Red dress that looks very fitting for a Targaryen's wife but Angel coulby in her Queen Guinevere (Merlin) wardrobe screams Elia to me-http://static2.hypable.com/wp-content/gallery/merlin-season-5/merlin-season-5-arthur-and-gwen.png?9e8a57http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/33100000/Queen-Guinevere-arthur-and-gwen-33195724-500-549.pnghttp://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32300000/Season-5-merlin-on-bbc-32373807-5000-3333.jpg Pretty without being too beautiful.
