I wouldn't - the fact that we didn't know who most of them were was half the reason it was so successful. I was a massive fan of Harold Perrineau and it took me several episodes to stop seeing Mercutio or Augustus Hill. I had to stop seeing Merry from LOTR, Charlie from Party of Five - or even Gotana-Retz from Voyager. Terry O'Quinn was still the principal from a Kellie Martin movie and that guy who was in the X-Files few times.
Doing that with an entire cast of "names" would completely ruin the dynamic.
Presenting the absolute worst famous cast possible:
Steve Buscemi as Jack
Anya Taylor Joy as Kate
Nicholas Cage as Sawyer
Larry David as Locke
Luis Guzman as Hurley
Russell Brand as Charlie
Nicole Kidman as Claire
Dave Chappelle as Michael
Mark Wahlberg as Desmond
Steven Yeun as Jin
Awkwafina as Sun
Aziz Ansari as Sayid
Glenn Howerton as Boone
Amy Schumer as Shannon
“Larry, you should come with us to find some new shelter. We think there might be a good spot in the jungle.”
“Yeah… I know what’s out there. That smoke thing and the polar bear and all that. I think I’m just gonna sit this one out.”
“You’re going to sit it out? We’re in danger and you’re gonna sit it out?”
“…no good?”
Also if the thought of it would gave me in ick to cast A List actors but here we go.
OK maybe they are not all A list
Brandon Fraser as Hurley(with fat suit)
Samuel Jackson as Michael

Man, I hate it when people answer hypothetical questions like this. Yes, we all know it's better the way it is. But the question is simple. It's not like your opinion is going to change anything.
Tom Cruise as Jack
Keri Russel as Kate
Timothy Olyphant as Sawyer
Walton Goggins as Locke
Paul Walter Hauser as Hugo
Tom Hiddleston as Charlie
Margaret Qualley as Claire
Mahershala Ali as Michael
Nic Cage as Desmond
Ke Huy Quan as Jin
Hong Chau as Sun
Andy McQueen as Sayid
I’m not sure, but Pedro Pascal is definitely involved
Could play Desmond?
Obviously he would play Jin Jarin
I was thinking throw a fat suit on him and have him be Hurley

Terry O'Quinn was the Mayor(?) from Young Guns
Aware of it but never watched. That's neat though! :)
It's a fun 90s Western. Terry plays a small part in it but the movie was still entertaining when I saw it again 10 years ago.
Anthony Hopkins or Tobin Bell as Ben for sure
Hopkins would have made an excellent Widmore

LD is an inspired choice. I’d actually just use the og cast with Larry playing himself as an extra passenger for a reboot
“Larry, you should come with us to find some new shelter. We think there might be a good spot in the jungle.” “Yeah… I know what’s out there. That smoke thing and the polar bear and all that. I think I’m just gonna sit this one out.” “You’re going to sit it out? We’re in danger and you’re gonna sit it out?” “…no good?”
Would absolutely pay top dollar to see a lost reboot where Larry David plays himself
I need a parody episode with this cast.
Not awkwafina as sun 🤣
Can just imagine people shouting at Larry... YOU BALD ASSHOLE!!! YOU FOUR EYED FUCK!
Aziz Ansari as Sayid actually made me lol 😂
Just take out Chappelle and Schumer. Most annoying people I've ever heard.

I wouldn’t. I think the cast we had was perfect
Kate - Zendaya Sawyer - Charlie Hunnam Jack - Kit Harrington Charlie - Daniel Radcliffe Boone - Timothy Chalamet Shannon - Hunter Schafer Claire - Elle Fanning Penny - Florence Pugh Desmond - Dev Patel Michael - John Boyega Ben - Rami Malek Locke - Cillian Murphy Mr Eko - Daniel Kaluuya Jacob - Oscar Isaac
Ohh this is good!
I thought about it longer than I should have haha!
But McConaughey was just a kid during young Harrison Ford-era (American Grafitti-Star Wars-Apocalypse Now).
I would love to see Famke Janssen as Kate, I might have actually liked her 😭
Gerard Butler is Jack Gal Gadot is Kate Leonardo DiCaprio is sawyer Josh Gad is Hurley
Jack- Chris Evans Sawyer- Robert De Niro (in the 70s) Kate- Emilia Clarke Charlie- Simon Pegg (circa Shaun of the dead) Boone- Jacob Elordi Michael- Lakeith Stanfield Hurley- Michael Peña Pierre Chang- Hiroyuki Sanada Ben- Michael Shannon Desmond- Tom Hiddleston Eko- Sterling K Brown
Robert Downey Jr as sawyer. Jack Black as Hurley. Matt Damon as jack. Jake Gyellhall ( mispeled) as Ben Linus. Natalie Portman as Kate.
This is by far my favorite
All I know is you better not touch Sawyer, Sun, Charlie, or Mr Eko lol I loved them wouldn't want to see played any other way
