Rumors about the rest of the casting
Although nothing is formalized, other names apply to the rest of the distribution. Thus, Ralph Finnes – who already portrays another huge saga antagonist, Harry Potter – can portray the young president of Coriolanus.
Kiran Kulkin, a recent Oscar winner, with Jesse Eisenberg’s true pain, could play Caesar Flickerman – the role that Stanley Lip previously played. He, in turn, should give its properties a young and eccentric Ephi Train, which Elizabeth Banks perform in the first four parts. Jesse Plemon must portray Plutarch’s Zeist, a role that has been interpreted by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
