UVA Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't know what the big deal is with Eva Green- she seems more like Cersei or Mel to me. She does have the Northerner look but I think she's too sinful looking for Lyanna. I agree. Eva Green is too creepy, too sinister-looking -- like a younger Charlotte Rampling. I've never understood her popularity in the fancasting of Lyanna. Is it because she's been in a few medieval-y programs? I see a more wholesome-looking, pretty brunette as Lyanna. I think Kaya Scodelario is a really good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Desmond Wine's Bane Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Kaya Scodelario This is indeed an excellent suggestion. I can completely see her as Lyanna now http://images.starpulse.com/pictures/2012/09/14/previews/Kaya%20Scodelario-LMK-076723.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aslerys Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I think that Jessica de Gouw has the "Lyanna look" but I most admit that I never saw her acting so I don't know if she is a godd actress or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think Adelaide Kane would make a good show!Lyanna- http://malenaboleyn.tumblr.com/post/77271416710/got-dreamcast-adelaide-kane-as-lyanna-stark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Basic outline for casting Lyanna Stark;1. She died at 16 so no-one too old. Eva Green and Liv Tyler are out., In fact Tyler would be better cast as Septa Lemore, especially because she could easily pass for Kit Harrington's mother.2. She was a Stark and a tomboy, so no-one too cute. 3. Beautiful, but not Hollywood beautiful. Someone who captures the eye with strength and sweetness. Remember, she has to captivate Robert Baratheon, a man who has had a lot of women.4. There is no mention of what Lyanna and Ned's mother looked like or what family she is from, but Arya is supposedly a look-alike.5. Her death must be tragic, so she needs a certain purity. She has to transcend Robert's desire.6. She is a Northerner born from Northern parents, so her skin can't be too tanned. A lot of the suggestions here are more like contenders for Arianne Martell than Lyanna Stark.My shortlist;Georgie Henley could easily be related to Arya.Bonnie Wright would need some voice coaching to get the accent right.Kaya Scodelario kind of works. I just don't see her as an innocent highborn 16 year old.But the one to beat is Xenia Goodwin. She could easily be a sister to both Arya and Sansa. She ticks all the boxes for looks, likeability, athleticism and purity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starklinson Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Anna Popplewell is my Lyanna. Examples: http://whycolour.tumblr.com/post/84048626816/popplewell https://24.media.tumblr.com/a4f6479ab6f3d021f4ef5c0af6967b5a/tumblr_n4ydrmU0Zv1smu8w0o4_250.gif http://queermartell.tumblr.com/post/85276162647/so-youre-the-strong-one http://reigncaps.tumblr.com/post/82883245891 http://savior-of-dreams.tumblr.com/post/83514037394 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolmasandfrosting Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 i think that sarah hyland has round features similar to arya's, and she definitely looks young enough to play lyanna... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~DarkHorse~ Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Anna Popplewell is my Lyanna. http://reigncaps.tumblr.com/post/82883245891 She would make a good Lyanna following her book appearance. However, when I clicked on that I seen show!Lyanna to the right (Adelaide Kane). Looks like a female Kit Harrington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igrewupinKL Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 At this moment a perfect Lyanna Stark would be Zoey Deutch (in looks)http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3614913/?ref_=nv_sr_1 A young Rachel Weisz is perfect, she looks like maisie as well:http://img2.timeinc.net/instyle/images/2009/transformation/1995-rachel-weisz-400.jpghttp://unrealitymag.bcmediagroup.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Celebrity_Photos_2-465x573.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SerArthurHeath Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Kate Bracken still my fave. And has an appropriate accent and is fiery tooCan't link pics on phone but google her, looks like Maisie and a bit like Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LyannaLovesRhaegar Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Saoirse Ronan would be a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AryaNymeriaVisenya Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Jenna Coleman in her new short do is looking mighty Maisie-like:http://jenna-coleman.com/gallery/albums/events/2015/03-01/normal_0301_cinderellaLApremiere_0106.jpg The black hair isn't a big deal. Jon is described to look like Uncle Ned, he doesnt in the show. He looks more like Uncle Benjen. Both Kit and Maisie have round faces in the show, so Lyanna should too.

fear2433 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ooh. Old thread but I couldn't but comment.Eva Green seriously? I think she wont be even able to pick up a real sword, forget swinging a jousting sword.Katie seemed strong and better suited, but how weird would it be to see a person in two different series with similar roles?Lyanna is Eddard's sister.1)She must be tall like Sophie Turner and Sean Bean.2)Must be strong, not anorexic to give a realistic sword fighter.(Not as big as Brienne though :p )3) Must have a confident air about her4) Must be really beautiful for Rhaegar to fall for herI think such a role will be perfect for someone from the porn industry :p (like Shae ad Ros) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrettyPig Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If we're thinking of someone who could pass as a 16yo, look somewhat similar to Maisie, and still have something of an unusual/atypical beauty, I nominate Ophelia Lovibond. This is who I have in my head when I read Lyanna textual mentions. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/you/article-2618621/Meet-glam-queen-comedy-Why-actress-Ophelia-Lovibond-set-romcom-crown.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arya of Winterfell Posted April 18, 2015 Author Share Posted April 18, 2015 Wow this thread is old! But I have updated the first post to include all the suggestions. My favourite is: Kaya Scodelario. She is 23 and has the wild Stark look (I think!). Also it is realistic casting, if they ever did a pre-ASOIAF mini-series of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStarryOne Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Holly Earl would be perfect for the role! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyanna is suppose to be like Arya not Sansa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistress of Lemon Cakes Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Watch Kaya Scodelario in Skins. She is almost type casted as the "tough hottie." ;) Better yet, check her out in Wuthering Heights for a bit of period piece comparison. For whatever reason I can't copy/paste anything on these forums, but all you need to do is google "Kaya Scodelario Wuthering Heights" and check out the images that come up. She was Cathy in that movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
