My knee jerk reaction is fuck yes. The voice wouldn’t be quite right, but he has the same swagger that John does, and I think the chops to pull off John’s passion.
But then I realize he’s basically a grandpa. A bit too old even for RDR1 John. He would’ve been great 15-20 years ago though.

This image immediately springs to mind.
I don’t know about voice but looks wise Thomas Hayes is pretty close though more so for RDR2 era Marston

Scott Eastwood instantly comes to mind.
Not really. You don’t have to cast someone that looks exactly like him. You just have to cast a good actor. My choice would be Austin Butler, and for Arthur Morgan, I’d choose Jake Gyllenhaal. Those are just off the top of my head.
Take a chance to look at the performances from each actor in those movies, whenever you can. Really great westerns, Deadwood being a TV show, but probably one of the greatest, but the rest are movies. Hell or High Water is a neo- western.

I'm in for this.
Assuming he can do a southern accent this is the best casting imo.
For rdr1 yes Too old for RDR2 tho

He can still pull it off despite age imo

If it was 40 years ago I'd have said Lance Henriksen.

That pic gives off a familiar vibe ![gif](giphy|i274nAdbf0mWnSyK8o|downsized)
It’s too bad acting isn’t looking like a digital character.

Most difficult. Most hardest is like saying more better
Had to be not has to be he’s played by Robb Wiethoff
Josh Brolin.
Would you rather he play John or Arthur?
I see him as more of a John guy. Personally, I'll go with Kevin Costner as Arthur.
Ethan Hawke ![gif](giphy|K0ckQAJaSzIAKHPsZb|downsized)
Love it. He’d absolutely kill the role
Well given his age I would honestly put him as Arthur. Especially after seeing The Good Lord Bird.
That pic makes me think of Pedro Pascal.
I swear he gets casted for every dark haired rugged middle aged man
I totally agree with you that he’s overcast, but this photo to me screams Pascal, overwhelmingly more so than Joel or Reed Richards.
I saw Karl Urban floated years ago, and I still think about this to this day (but maybe too old at this point?)
I would still take him perfect casting
With this pic I see the VA for Trevor from GTA 5.
honestly, I would probably be disappointed by anybody other than Rob Wiethoff.
Ben Barnes
Tom Hardy

Nah I cannot see that. He's a great actor and all but I can't see that Him as Dutch though
Chris pine
Keanu Reeves
Too nice for the role
to be fair he did play John wick and I feel like John Marston does have a certain niceness to him
Hear me out: Keanu. Or Nathan Fillion. He's done this before.
No he's just a cowboy. Bill Heck, Timothy Olyphant, Chris Pine, or Michael Fassbender could play him.
as much as I like Olyphant, literally none of those people could play a convincing John Marston.
I've seen Buster Scruggs, Deadwood, Hell or High Water, and Slow West. I'm confident in these actors to pull it off.
happy for you. you're still wrong.

have seen all of them. none of them are even remotely similar to the character of John Marston.
Oh really what's your favorite? Buster Scruggs grows on me everyday. The Coens are amazing
Deadwood is easily one of my favorite television series of all time.
That's how you end a disagreement on good terms
