KSI had a good cast, but Brie Larson was NOT a Best Actress Award winner when they cast her. LP just got that casting right out of luck honestly. Tom Hiddleston is far from being a star... He's only known for playing Loki. John Goodman is recognizable... And obviously SLJ is in everything. I admit SLJ stands out a bit more just because of who he is, but the cast overall isn't as huge as one might think.

GKOTK has great talent on board.

Brie Larson didn't have much to do... Nobody had all that much to do really, besides John C Reilly and SLJ

But I really liked Brie Larson in the movie for... reasons...

Add her to the list of "celebrity crushes in G-movies" alongside Ogashira, all of us straight dudes felt at least a little attraction to her as we watched K:SI.

but isn't that true for almost every conventionally attractive female in a movie? I mean, It's part of film design. Movies are going to take advantage of that whenever they can.

Eh I like Larson fine as an actress and she got a great figure but I don't think she's pretty. I liked her character in KSI though. On the other hand I've completely fallen for Elizabeth Olsen. She was so hot as Scarlet Witch how could I not!

I dunno... She's just sort of the average hot girl in my opinion with a really lovable personality. I just think she's really cute and is the kind of girl who you could sit on the couch and play Super Smash Bros with while eating pizza. Like, Scarlett Johannson is fine as all hell, but she's not exactly "cute"; she might be fun to bang but would otherwise make for a dull relationship.

Brie is just wifey material all around IMO

Tom Hiddleston is very popular; the Marvel movies are huge, and he's also a big heart-throb with female audiences. The guy has over 3 million followers on Twitter. In terms of profile, him and Jackson are bigger stars than anyone announced for KotM so far.

Actor (s) Update: Thomas Middleditch of Silicon Valley fame has joined the cast!

http://variety.com/2017/film/news/godzi ... 202448069/

Also, over on IMDB an actor by name of Jonathan Howard (seen in Thor: The Dark World, WWZ) has joined as 'Asher'

I think it's another great cast-member, another sort of 'Not some mega-star that detracts attention, but is recognizable from at least one noteworthy property'

I've seen a few episodes of Silicon Valley and thought he was very good in it.

This cast feels quite eclectic, with a good range of personalities and faces. Getting individuality in an ensemble cast, making the humans stand out and feel unique is a tough thing to do. In Kaiju films it can get easy for 'the humans' to just feel like the random sea of faces keeping tabs on the monsters.

Hmm.... Nice

Added in 5 minutes 41 seconds:
So two new cast members, then?

Added in 2 minutes 16 seconds:
Lol, the guy playing Asher was that unnecessary boyfriend in Thor: The Dark World

Little fun fact about Middleditch, he actually had a small part in Kong: Skull Island. He did the voice-over of Jerry, the person on the phone with Mason Weaver near the start of the film.

#12. Mr. Middleditch and Mr. Howard made it to IMDB quicker that Adam Wingard did.


John Howard as "Asher." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1401022/
Thomas Middleditch in unnamed role. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3042755/

Place your bets on whether the mysterious Jerry plays a role in KOM.

He's one of the last guys I would've expected to be cast in a film like this. Some people might know him as the drop the mic guy from the Verizon commercials.
