Yeah, I was really pulling for her to be Verin.

Also, they spelled the name wrong. It's Ila, not Illa. :tug I should know, haha

I was really surprised by the announcements. I guess I just assumed she would be an important Aes Sedai.

And for some reason thought Daryl McCormack was a different character that was already announced? :scratch Was I dreaming?

You know who I just realized I always pictured as Verin? Kate Mulgrew.

Kate Mulgrew would be an amazing Verin.

Captain Janeway ftw.

What about Margo Martindale? I was inspired by another movie I was discussing. This is pretty close to how I imagine Verin:

I've been trying to not get my hopes up by avoiding all but major casting news. However, I have to echo everyone's disappointment of Kennedy's casting as well. I was really hoping she would be our Siuan.

I've seen her gaze described as bird-like, but I thought the rest of her was always described as plump. :cheeseeni:

Yeah, I always saw Verin as plump as well. But then, my inner picture of characters are often wrong, and may not even be influenced by the actual descriptions in the book :look:

Somebody like Miriam Margolyes would be absolutely fantastic, actually!

She'd actually be amazing! She was one of the first people I thought of but I couldn't remember her name.

I've seen Kathy Bates thrown around too, but I don't see it. She actually has a Cadsuane personality, just not the look.

I've always seen Cadsuane as Asian in my head, and I can't pin down why. Kathy Bates would definitely have the personality down, though. The woman's a force of nature.

Verin - Camryn Manheim?
Cadsuane - Helen Mirren? She might be too old now to pull off 'ageless'
I dunno, maybe Tilda Swinton?

Yeah, Kathy Bates has a Verin physique, but you can see the steel in her backbone. Miriam Margolyes could work, but could she look ageless? I like Camryn Manheim.

Tilda Swinton could do a good Cadsuane.
