Next Chapter

In this epic collab episode, Next Chapter joins forces with Richard and Austin from 2ToRamble to bring you the ultimate Cosmere casting showdown! We’re taking some of Hollywood’s biggest A-list actors and pairing them with the iconic characters across Brandon Sanderson’s vast Cosmere universe. This casting session covers everyone from Mistborn to Stormlight Archive and more, as we dive into who could bring these complex characters to life in a future movie adaptation. Starting with Henry Cavill as a powerful Mistborn figure, we’ll discuss if Hugh Jackman could tackle a role in the epic Stormlight Archive or if Tom Hiddleston’s natural charisma could be a match for one of Sanderson’s cunning masterminds. Then we debate on Rebecca Ferguson and whether her intensity would make her the perfect fit for a fan-favorite heroine. And for the role of a larger-than-life mentor? How could we resist considering Morgan Freeman! But that’s just the beginning. Timothée Chalamet, Dwayne Johnson, Zendaya, and Oscar Isaac all get put through the casting gauntlet, along with iconic actors like Johnny Depp, John David Washington, Bryan Cranston, and Paul Bettany. Our lively debates take us from intense speculation to moments of hilarity as we envision each actor embodying the Cosmere’s most beloved (or feared!) characters. And yes, even Brandon Sanderson himself makes an appearance in our discussions! With tons of laughs and plenty of unexpected picks, this episode has everything for fans of fantasy, books, and Hollywood casting.
