“Keanu Reeves as Kenny would actually be wildly entertaining”: Attack on Titan Live Action With Chris Evans as Erwin, Timothée Chalamet as Eren is the Dream Fan Cast

Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan has been a massive hit that sent shockwaves through the otaku community. With a gripping narrative and unforeseen twists in the fate of its characters, the title has become one of the best fictional works that would make the fans think about the emotional and philosophical impact it had on them.

Time and again, fans of the show would return to it, as they adored Isayama-San’s need to bend to a particular trope. As a result, fans want their favorite series to follow the latest trend and make a live-action adaptation of the show.

To make the lives of the executives easier, fans have already proposed the perfect names from Tinsel Town, as the cast is flawless and will effortlessly breathe life into the already popular characters.

Attack on Titan’s Fancasting Can’t Get More Perfect Than This

The idea of a live-action adaptation of their favorite work has always allured the fans. However, this notion has never been too successful, as the adaptation would deviate heavily from the source material, resulting in a mess like Dragonball Evolution.

In recent times, this preconceived notion of making a successful live-action adaptation of an anime has changed, as Netflix’s One Piece has been a massive hit. Since Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan is one of the biggest names out there, it can easily result in a classic.

To continue resonating with the essence of the show, fans have decided to share their opinion in r/ShingekiNoKyojin, where a user shared their perfect cast for a live-action project. The post featured Timothée Chalamet in the lead role of Eren Yeager, which is absolutely perfect considering his recent box office performances and his ability to play layered characters.

The user believed that Suzu Hirose would be the perfect name to portray the role of Mikasa Ackerman, as her resume is full of diverse projects, which also includes another adaptation work, Your Lie in April. With a career that is not limited to one genre and a massive fan following, Hirose-San’s presence in the film would add to its charm.

However, the most epic choices are yet to come as the fan decided to feature Keanu Reeves in the role of none other than Kenny Ackerman. This is the best decision because the actor is synonymous with the portrayal of John Wick in the series of the same name.

Since the fate of the character remains uncertain, it would be thrilling to see the actor portraying a similar yet contrasting role that would get the fans of the series jumping with excitement. The best is for the last, as Chris Evans is one of the hottest names in the industry again, and it is not the first time when he has been selected to play a fan-favorite role.

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor was part of a Dragon Ball fan cast, where fans believed him to be the perfect name to portray the role of Son-Goku. Here, the fan casting did not disappoint because the user featured the actor in the role of Erwin Smith.

Evans has been iconic in his role as Captain America over the years, and even after his departure from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans miss him. However, portraying another iconic role, that too of Erwin Smith, would be enough for fans to forget the superhero fever that he once radiated.

Attack on Titan Fans React to The Perfect Fan Cast

With the biggest stars as part of the dream live-action project, fans have been jumping with excitement as the post features some of the biggest names from film industries around the world.
