Chad L. Coleman as Coach is the most logical choice out there. Honestly I’m not so sure about your L4D1 cast but your L4D2 cast is pretty on point

I didn’t really go for looks I went more on acting ability and yeah no one else can be coach except the voice actor himself!

Well yeah, he actually voiced Coach after all.

u/Tacticalberry avatar

could you not find someone who would fit good for Francis? why just leave it blank

Ngl I would’ve redacted some of the characters but I mostly agree. Would be a great movie

John Cena. Zombies will be confused as they can only see 3 survivors and not 4.

Exactly 💡

Amy Schumer as Boomer. Cardi B as Spitter. Greta as Jockey. Post Malone as the saferoom door.

The safe room door looking beautiful today

Ok we would make one amazing show

u/Garlic_bruh avatar

Nah we need lizzo as the boomer

u/jUG0504 avatar

u/SMURGwastaken avatar

Right?

Some of them make perfect sense and then you have clangers like Peter Serafinowicz as Nick...

Dw it’s not real

Replace John Cena wjth John Berenthal.

Never! John Bernthal has already played a shotgun wielding zombie killer!

Looks like we wont be seeing francis in the movie

Oh my god John Cena as Francis is genius.

Personally, I would've just casted Shanola Hampton for Ro if there's a movie, Shanola is Rochelle's face model, that and I love the shows she's in I think she's a great actress

She might also be the only actor who's face I've seen in other things outside of L4D

That would be cool

Taymour Ghazi, the actual face model of Nick would be good too. He isn't aging much and still fits for the role

Cool

Peter Serafinowicz as Nick is a great choice. My personal choice would've been Brian Bloom though.

Ik everyone thinks cena as Francis would be good but adam Baldwin would be way better

u/Snoo_27675 avatar

I think ORIOMa would make a great coach :)

I couldn't agree more 🤣

Nonso Anozie for me as Coach. I can even hear him saying the BBQ Burger lines.

u/Bulky-Advisor-4178 avatar

John Cena as a biker? Noo cring

John Cena would look good with a shaved head and a goatee 😄

So glad the public aren't casting directors

Chad Coleman playing Coach IRL would be like him reprising his role as Tyreese from TWD

I mean he voices coach so that was the main reason why I chose him, also Tyreese wasn’t a shotgun wielding leader like coach so realistically he wouldn’t be reprising his role as Tyreese, he’d be playing coach

I feel like when it comes to movie adaptations of video games it'd be 1000 times better and more fancervice-ish to just hire the people who did the voices even if they don't look like their characters; hearing the actual characters we've loved for so long interact with one another (maybe in new ways) in a whole different new medium would just be cooler. Like, a Red Dead 2 show just wouldn't feel the same without the real Arthur Morgan (Roger Clark), y'know?

Also a lot of people for some reason make a distinction between actors and VAs, forgetting that VAs are full-fledged, trained and talented actors themselves. Either allat or get the face actors for their respective roles.

Thing is voice actors aren’t as well known as irl actors so to help sell the show/movie they will cast known actors over the voice actors… it’s pretty simple

More replies

I mean, all the face models are still active I think. But Cena Francis would be amazing lol

personally I've always thought of Nick as Will Arnett in the hypothetical movie

u/GT2MAN avatar

You'll cast coleman but not ghazi?

Idk who that is sorry

u/GT2MAN avatar

The body actor for Nick.

Ving Rhames (Dawn of the Dead 2004) would also be a good coach

I'd much rather have an animated series that adds new characters as well.

Or better yet, make a Left 4 Dead movie, but with all new characters, one of them being Keith, who won't shut up about his old buddy Ellis.

i like the l4d2 a lot, i would just change peter for someone else, don't know who though.

u/h1h1guy avatar

Peter sera is such a good call. Wonder if he can pull off an american accent though...

u/liaven- avatar

Rochelle’s VA is an actress who better to play her.

u/Deus_Fucking_Vult avatar

John Cena as Francis lmao

Pete as Nick is kind of insane and fucked up but the rest is pretty good

u/Mr_Flava avatar

dylan doesnt look hickish enough to be ellis, and i feel like peter could be a choice for nick in like...a low budget fanmade movie, but an official real one? maybe not,,
